Eddy Merckxx
Had the pleasure of meeting this company out in their lovely sign written transit crew cab today and was treated to a fantastic demonstration of a close pass then as a bonus forced off the road with an impressive emergency stop. Would have rated even higher but unfortunately the long "What I would do to all cyclists" Rant spoiled this text book display of road rage. I can only hope that the company gives some driver training to its staff before letting them loose in very visible vehicles More...

Roofing Installation or Replacement
I was very impressed with the quick response by Blackmore Construction Environmental Roofing Contractors to my request for a free quotation to my roofing problems. They attended promptly and was quite thorough in their investigation of the problems and explained their findings to me, step by step and in a way I could easily understand and gave me the opportunity to ask questions. I gave 4 stars rather than the full 5, because I needed someone more urgent to do the work. Based on my immediate experience with dealing with this company, I would certainly contact them again if ever similar work arises again and I would also recommend them to a friend or anyone interested.

When serving my apprenticeship I always thought it was great how happy my company directors were, with their company.

A ten year insurance backed guarantee is issued on all renewals; however there is an option to extend the guarantee for an extra cost.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofing is very commonplace in Britain despite the obvious drawback that water can collect on a flat roof surface and eventually find its way into the property by exploiting weakened joints or seams.
The key problem is the Great British weather. Aside from heavy rain and winds, temperatures will expand and contract which can weaken seems and joins eventually allowing water to seep through.
However, there are some great flat roofing solutions available to suit all requirements and budgets and provided these are professionally installed,you will be able to have peace of mind that your flat roof will remain watertight and weatherproof for years to come, whether your whole house or commercial building has a flat roof or, more typically, your extension or garage does.
Asphalt roofing
Our asphalt roofing service is second to none, and the versatility of asphalt as a roofing material means it can be applied to a range of surfaces, such as concrete, timber, and even metal stairways.
Our asphalt roofing services are carried out by our highly trained staff who have developed and progressed under the careful supervision of our experienced roofers, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that everything about our work is first-rate. We use the best, safest practices and state of the art tools and equipment to ensure the job is done to the highest standard without providing a major disruption toy our daily operations.
Felt roofing
with the advent of the new flat roofing methods such as rubber (EPDM) and Fibre Glass (GRP), many people think that traditional felt/bitumen roofing is old hat.
But traditional felt roofing materials have improved considerably in recent years and provided they are fitted to a high standard by a professional roofer. They provide cost effective hard wearing protection for your property where there are flat roofs, typically on extensions.
Modern felt materials are designed to withstand pretty much everything the weather can throw at them especially with multi-layered systems that can be installed up to four layers deep providing a strong covering which will not only withstand extreme temperature changes from winter through to summer.
If you are unsure which would be the most suitable covering for your flat roof, Paul Johnson of Blackmore Roofing Construction will be happy to offer advice.
Fibreglass Roofing
fibreglass adds strength and lasts years longer than felt or asphalt. The benefits of fibreglass roofing include: A 100% weatherproof and watertight seal, no joints to prevent water penetration, Quick construction, Meets building regulations, Fire resistant, Thermal insulator- helping to reduce heating costs, No roof maintenance, Resistance to high temperature and uv exposure, Resistance to extremes of temperature change, High flexural strength, Long life expectancy, A finish in a choice of colours and non slips textures.

Thatch Roofing
Ridge and repair- This involves removal and disposal of the existing ridge and replacing it with traditional locally grown long straw which will be laid and patterned in pitch with existing roof. The roof is then cleaned and the exterior wood work is replaced and the thatch is re-wired.
Full re-thatch- Where required we will remove and dispose of any surplus thatch. The new thatch is then applied, which is between 12-14 inches in depth. Then the ridge is laid and pattern in pitch with the main roof. All exterior wood work is then added and all the eaves and barges are cut. Finally the finished roof is re-wired in UK.
Chimney rebuilds
Re-pointing chimney stacks and chimney pots is an important part of maintaining a property as water seepage can cause considerable damage, requiring extensive and expensive repairs.
Roofs are battered by the British weather with extremes of warm and freezing temperatures, high winds and water seepage which can undermine the brickwork over time.
No one wants a chimney stack to come crashing through the roof and ceilings, so it's important to ensure these areas of the roof are properly maintained.
Chimney stacks should be re-pointed every 30 years.
Leadwork & Welding
Blackmore Roofing Construction has more than 25 years' experience of all aspects of roofing and repairs including the replacement and repair of lead roof flashings and canopies.
Lead has been traditionally used to seal gaps around chimneys and flashings to keep out rain.
Worn lead work is a significant cause of leaks around these vulnerable areas of the roof.
