How we work

A straightforward process from first message to handover — so you know what to expect at each stage.

  1. Enquiry

    Email, phone, or the quote form below with a short description and postcode. We confirm we can help and what we need next.

  2. Visit & quote

    Where a site visit is needed, we arrange a time, assess the job properly, and send a written, no-obligation quote with clear scope.

  3. Start date

    Once you are happy to proceed, we agree materials, access, and a start date — and keep you updated if weather or supply shifts the plan.

  4. Completion & handover

    Work finished to agreed standard, site left tidy, and any warranty or paperwork covered in the quote handed over before we sign off.

    Design on site or from drawings

    Hand cutting or prefabricated members — whichever suits the building and budget.

    Build & sign-off

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how we work — if yours is not listed, email or call and we will help.

Do you offer quotes without obligation?

Yes. Tell us what you need (photos and postcode help) and we will give you a clear idea of scope and cost before you commit.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Kenilworth and work across Warwickshire and nearby — including Leamington Spa, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, and surrounding villages. See our areas we cover page for towns and postcode districts, or ask if you are still unsure.

Can you help with urgent roof leaks?

We aim to respond quickly when water is getting in. We will stabilise the roof and explain what a full repair or replacement involves so you are not left guessing.

Flat roof, pitched roof, or joinery — do you do all of it?

Yes. From flat systems and rainwater goods to hand-cut pitched roofs and second-fix joinery, we cover the carpentry and roofing listed in our services — or we will say when a specialist trade is the better call.

How do you price a job?

After we understand access, materials, and duration, we agree a written scope and price. If something unexpected appears when we open up the work, we discuss it before spending your money.
