Sustainability
What we do to keep waste off the skip — and the carbon down.
Re-roofing produces a lot of waste. We do four things to keep as much as we can out of landfill:
We reclaim slate and tile where it's sound
Welsh slate, hand-made clay tile, decorative ridge — if it comes off the roof intact, we sort it and either reuse it on another job or pass it to a local reclamation yard. A re-roof typically produces a few thousand pounds of reclaimed material we don't send to skip.
We recycle the rest
All our waste skips go to a licensed recycling transfer station — concrete tile, felt, timber and metal are sorted and routed to recyclers rather than landfill. We keep the waste-transfer paperwork for every job.
We specify energy-efficient products
Every re-roof gets Marley breathable membrane and 100mm celotex-grade insulation as standard. Conservatory roof replacements use insulated panels rated U=0.18 W/m²K — making a previously-unusable conservatory a year-round room cuts heating spend more than any other single upgrade.
We run efficient vans
Our fleet is on a rolling refresh — newer Transits are roughly 25% more efficient than the ones they replace. RAM telematics flag idling and routing inefficiency so we keep mileage down.
