Solar power, fitted the roofer’s way
With energy prices rising, more homeowners are turning to solar panels to cut their electricity bills and their carbon footprint. Generating your own power gives you more control over household costs.
As roofers, we look at the roof first. If there are slipped tiles, worn felt or loose ridges, it makes sense to sort them before the panels go on, rather than paying to remove the panels later. Our solar panel installation is carried out by our own team, with the roof made good and watertight around every fixing.
