FAQs
What roofing services do your fully accredited tradespeople in Kelso provide?
Our Kelso team covers the full spectrum of domestic and light–commercial roofing, including new slate or tiled roof installations, flat-roof systems (EPDM, GRP fibreglass, torch-on felt), complete re-roofs, leadwork, chimney repairs, fascia/soffit and guttering replacement, Velux skylight installation, moss removal, and scheduled maintenance packages. Because every roofer is fully accredited and time-served, you get expert workmanship on projects of any size, from a slipped slate to a complete roof overhaul.
What accreditations and certifications do your Kelso roofers hold?
All tradespeople are vetted and accredited by major UK industry bodies. These include CITB or SVQ/NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Roofing Occupations, membership of the Confederation of Roofing Contractors (CORC), TrustMark government-endorsed quality status, and valid CSCS skill cards. Several team members also hold IPAF and PASMA certification for safe access equipment use and are trained to the latest Working at Height Regulations. Copies of certificates are available on request for your peace of mind.
How quickly can you respond to roofing emergencies in the Kelso area?
We operate a 24-hour emergency call-out service exclusively for Kelso and surrounding Borders villages. In most cases we can have a roofer on site within 60–90 minutes to make the roof safe, carry out a temporary repair, and provide a written report with photos for your insurer. Our vans are stocked with common slates, tiles, felts, battens, and sealants so the majority of emergency leaks can be fixed on the first visit.
Do you offer free, no-obligation quotations and roof inspections?
Yes. A qualified surveyor will visit your property, carry out a visual inspection (and drone survey if required), take measurements, and explain your options. You will receive a detailed, fixed-price quotation by email within 24 hours, including a breakdown of labour, materials, waste disposal, and VAT. The quote is 100 % transparent and carries no obligation—meaning you never pay a call-out or estimate fee.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on new roofs or repairs?
All new pitched roofs come with a 20-year workmanship guarantee, plus manufacturer-backed material warranties of up to 40 years on premium slates and tiles. Flat roofs are covered by a 10–25-year guarantee depending on the membrane chosen (EPDM, GRP, or high-performance felt). Repairs are guaranteed for 12–36 months, and all guarantees are transferable to subsequent property owners, adding value if you decide to sell.
Are you fully insured, and do you handle all necessary permits and building control approvals?
Absolutely. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and £10 million employer’s liability cover. If your project requires scaffolding, pavement permits, or Building Control notifications for structural alterations or energy-efficiency upgrades, our office handles the paperwork on your behalf. We also provide risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) for every job to comply with Health & Safety Executive guidelines, ensuring a hassle-free, compliant roofing experience in Kelso.
