We monitor weather forecasts and schedule flat roof replacement on days with a clear weather window. If conditions change during a job, we pause at a natural waterproofing break-point rather than exposing the deck. GRP cannot be applied below 5°C or in rain — we reschedule rather than compromise the installation.

40+ years with a 25-year product guarantee. GRP is the correct long-term specification for Shrewsbury's wet climate.

Like-for-like replacement generally does not. New additions fall under permitted development in most cases. Conservation area properties may need approval.
Ditherington has two distinct housing characters — the Victorian terraces near the Flax Mill conservation area, and the post-war estates to the north. Both require different roofing specifications and approach.
Welsh slate nail sickness on Victorian conservation area stock and concrete tile nail sickness on post-war estates. The conservation area boundary creates planning constraints on material choices for visible elevations.
Before any flat roof work in Ditherington, we assess the deck condition, measure the existing fall, and check drainage outlet size. Replacing a flat roof over a deck with inadequate fall without correcting it is the most common cause of premature failure — we include fall correction using tapered insulation in every replacement quote where required. All deck boards are inspected after strip and any soft or waterlogged sections replaced before waterproofing is applied. GRP is applied in a single session where possible — we do not leave part-cured fibreglass overnight. Every GRP installation carries a 25-year product guarantee.
Every job starts with a physical survey — not a quote over the phone, not an estimate from the ground. We access the roof, inspect defects and their causes, check for related issues in surrounding areas, and photograph the condition. The written fixed-price quote is issued the same day or the following morning. Survey visits are free across all Shropshire postcodes with no call-out charge and no obligation to proceed.
We do not use pressure tactics, do not offer day-of discounts to rush a decision, and do not manufacture urgency. If a job can wait two weeks safely we tell you. If it needs addressing immediately we explain exactly why. Every quote is written and itemised — no verbal estimates, no additions once work has started without prior agreement.
All prices are fixed before work starts. For repair jobs under £500, payment is due on completion. For larger jobs — re-roofs, full guttering replacements, chimney rebuilds — a deposit of 10 to 25 percent covers materials, with the balance on satisfactory completion. We never ask for full payment upfront on any job. We accept bank transfer and card. Full VAT receipts are issued at completion on all work.
Any contractor requiring full cash payment upfront, offering large on-the-spot discounts, or approaching you unsolicited at your door should be treated with caution. Legitimate roofing contractors do not operate this way. If you are unsure about a quote you have received, call us on 01743 537230 for an independent assessment.
Operating across Shrewsbury and Shropshire since 2003. We know the local housing stock, the common failure patterns for each era of construction, and the planning constraints that apply to period properties. That local knowledge reduces diagnosis time and ensures correct material specification on the first visit.
NFRC registration means we have been assessed for competence, insurance adequacy and financial stability. We carry £5m public liability insurance on every job. Insurance certificates are available on request before any work begins. We never start a job without confirming our cover applies to the specific work type.
We do not use subcontractors or agency labour. The team that surveys your roof is the team that carries out the work. Direct accountability — not a franchised model or a lead generation site farming enquiries to the cheapest available contractor in your postcode. We take responsibility for every job ourselves.
All re-roof and major repair work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee issued at job completion. We have been trading for over 20 years — our guarantee means something because we will be here to honour it. Guarantees are backed by our professional indemnity insurance, not just a verbal promise.
Before booking any flat roofing work, run through this checklist. It covers the key observations any homeowner can make before a survey, and the verification steps to take when assessing a contractor or quote.
Free no-obligation surveys available across all Shrewsbury postcodes. Call 01743 537230 to book — we will access the roof, photograph the condition, and provide a written fixed-price quote the same day.
"GRP on the garage. Completed in a day, looks excellent. The 25-year guarantee gives real peace of mind."
"Old felt was leaking badly. New GRP with corrected drainage fall — they explained why the fall needed sorting too."
"Extension flat roof done alongside a re-roof. All coordinated well, single scaffold, single visit. Very efficient."
We operate from Shrewsbury and cover the full Shropshire area with no additional travel charge for any location within our coverage zone. The same employed team, the same material standards, and the same written 10-year guarantee apply on every job — whether we are working in a Victorian terrace in Belle Vue, a 1960s semi in Harlescott, a period villa in Church Stretton, or a post-war estate in Telford.
All Shrewsbury postcodes — SY1, SY2, SY3 — are standard coverage. All surrounding Shropshire towns including Telford (TF1), Oswestry (SY11), Whitchurch (SY13), Newport (TF10), Shifnal (TF11), Wem (SY4), Church Stretton (SY6) and Market Drayton (TF9) are covered at standard rates. We also cover all rural Shropshire properties and villages between these centres.
Free surveys are available across this entire coverage area. The survey includes full roof access, photographic condition report, written fixed-price quote and a no-obligation recommendation on the best approach for your specific property and situation.
When getting quotes for roofing work in Shrewsbury, always ask to see the contractor's public liability insurance certificate before any work starts. Check it covers roofing specifically, check the expiry date, and verify the minimum coverage is £1 million. Legitimate contractors provide this immediately on request — hesitation or refusal is a warning sign.
All quotes should be in writing and itemised. The scope should specify the material to be used, the access method, the waste disposal arrangement, and the fixed total price. Verbal quotes and round-number estimates without material detail are not adequate for work over £500.
Payment terms should never require full payment upfront. For repair jobs, payment on completion is standard. For larger jobs, a deposit of up to 25 percent is reasonable with the balance on satisfactory completion. Call 01743 537230 if you want a second opinion on a quote you have received.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Honest quote from a local team who know Ditherington's housing stock.
