With over 30 years experience, we have all the skills to transform your existing roof or install on new builds. We can fulfil your every need from slating, tiling, facias, soffits, guttering, sky lights, Velux windows and we even do bespoke lead-work. We work with commercial customers on new builds and domestic customers who are looking to re-roof their property. One of the best investments you can make is to protect your home properly from the weather, be it a pitched roof in York Stone or Bradstone or the latest GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) for flat roofs.
We specialise in GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) flat roofing. GRP is a fibre-glass layered system that provides the best possible solution for weather-proofing a flat roof. It can be finished in a number of different colours if required. It differs from traditional systems in that there are no seams where water could penetrate. Firstly, a the substrate is made using plywood, sealed together with fire-glass tape. Secondly, the fibre-glass layer is applied similar to painting. The next layer is the top coat which provides the outer appearance of the roof.
SJ Roofing can supply and fit new fascia's to your property or development. Often, this is done at the same time as a re-roof or new roof installation. The facia is mounted at the point where the roof meets the outer walls of the house and is often called the roof line. However most people refer to it by the name of the main board that carries the gutter - the fascia or fascias. The fascia board is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. The fascia is fixed directly to the roof trusses and usually does all the work of supporting the bottom row of tiles and carrying all the guttering.
We can tile your property or development with a variety of different styles and materials. The most distinctive difference between slates and tiles is that tiles do not have to be flat. With an S-shaped profile, allowing adjacent tiles to interlock. These result in a ridged pattern resembling a ploughed field. An example of this is the "double Roman" tile, dating from the late 19th century in England and America.
At SJ Roofing, we have a specialist who undertakes all our lead-works; completed to the highest standards. We can design and install exclusively to your desired specification. Our specialist is experienced in every aspect of lead-work including flat and pitched roofs, box gutters, sumps, valleys, capping and horizontal cladding details, all flashing details, turrets, pediments dormers and Lead Dome Roofs. Lead has been used on buildings in Britain for hundreds of years. Lead is 100% recyclable, so next time you see a lead flashing or box gutter it is very likely that the lead used is a lot older than the building it is fixed to.
SJ Roofing can complete your new roof or re-roof with a comprehensive range of fascias, soffits and guttering that can match or contrast your desired look of finish. Click each of the images below to take you to specific information.
We can fit your roof in a range of different finishes, from Welsh slate to natural stone using York Stone and Bradstone. Welsh slate is an expectational roofing slate, indeed the most durable slate in the world and has a productive life of more than 100 years. It is waterproof and unaffected by normal extremes of temperature, resistant to acids, alkalis an other chemicals and it does not lose its colour when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. Welsh Slate roofing is commonly removed from roofs after 100 years not because they have failed but because the roof timbers holding them up have failed.
