Driveway Installation & Roofing in Wokingham

Our roofing quotes typically cover the inspection, materials, labour, and the specific works required — for example roof repairs, replacing tiles, fixing flashing, flat roof repairs, or chimney leadwork. We explain the scope clearly so you know exactly what you’re getting.

If issues are localised (a small leak, a few broken tiles, damaged flashing), a repair is often all that’s needed. If there’s widespread wear, recurring leaks, or significant deterioration, replacement may be more cost-effective long term. We’ll be honest about what’s best — no pressure, just clear advice.

Yes — chimney areas are a common cause of leaks. We carry out repairs including chimney leadwork (lead flashing), repointing where needed, and making good around the chimney stack to stop water getting in and protect the roofline.

Absolutely. If you’ve got slipped tiles, damaged felt, or loose ridge tiles after bad weather, we can carry out a prompt repair to make the roof secure and prevent further water ingress. We’ll also check surrounding areas to make sure nothing else has been compromised.

We start with a careful inspection to trace the problem back to its source — leaks often travel before showing inside. Our leak detection checks common weak points like flashing, valleys, ridge lines, gutters, flat roof joints, and around chimneys, then we advise the best repair.

Yes — we handle both pitched roofs (including tiled roofs) and flat roofs. Whether it’s repairs, maintenance, or replacement work, we’ll assess what’s needed and recommend the most cost-effective, long-lasting solution.

Sometimes, yes — but it depends on the condition of what’s already there. If the existing base is sound and levels are suitable, some surfaces can be laid over it. However, the best long-term results usually come from proper preparation and a strong sub-base. We’ll inspect it and recommend the most reliable option.

Most driveways are easy to maintain. Regular sweeping and the occasional wash down helps keep it looking fresh. Block paving may benefit from periodic re-sanding, and resin bound should be kept clear of debris to maintain drainage performance. We’ll give you simple aftercare advice for your specific finish.

Our quotes are straightforward and typically include preparation and excavation (where needed), a solid sub-base, edging details, the chosen surface (resin bound, concrete, tarmac, block paving or gravel), and any drainage requirements. We’ll explain what’s included so there are no surprises.

Most driveway installations are completed within a few days to around a week, depending on the size, ground conditions, and the surface you choose (for example, block paving and resin bound can take a little longer than tarmac). We’ll give you a clear timescale before work starts.

In many cases, no — but rules can apply depending on drainage and how water runs off your driveway. Generally, if you’re creating a non-permeable surface at the front of a property, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage solution. We’ll advise on the best approach during your site visit.

It depends on your priorities. Resin bound is a great choice for a modern look and smooth finish, block paving is very popular for kerb appeal and design options, tarmac is tough and cost-effective, concrete is durable and low maintenance, and gravel driveways are budget-friendly with a classic look. We’ll talk you through the pros and cons and recommend what suits your property in Reading, Bracknell, Wokingham, Ascot or Binfield.
