Slates, flat roofs and gutters. The job nobody wants to do, on the day it cannot wait.

Roofing pays well because the work is dangerous, weather-bound and urgent. Materials and hired access are close to half the price of a job, so scaffolding a terrace for a small repair can turn a profitable quote into a loss. Reputation matters more here than in any other trade: the doorstep trade has poisoned the market, so honest quotes, proper edge protection and a guarantee people believe are what win the work.
