FAQ
Everything people ring to ask
Eight questions that come up on nearly every first call, answered at the length they deserve rather than in one line.
Ask something elseThe eight we hear most
Ordered by how often somebody asks them on a first call rather than by how important we think they are.
Ask us anything What types of client do you work with?
Households, landlords, managing agents, schools and clinics, and four developers we sub-contract sheeting for. About two thirds of what we do in a year is a single house.
Which areas do you cover?
Greater Accra and the Tema corridor as standard, and Kasoa, Nsawam and Aburi for anything over a hundred square metres. Beyond that we will still come out, but the travel is on the quote and you will see it there.
How long does a project take to complete?
A leak traced and stopped is usually the same day. A typical four-bedroom re-roof is three to five working days. A commercial flat roof runs to programme and we give you that programme before you sign anything.
What is your design process?
We photograph the existing roof, measure the falls, and draw the valleys, gutters and flashings before ordering a single sheet. Most leaks are a detail rather than a material, and details are cheap to fix on paper.
Do you provide emergency callouts?
Yes, and through the rainy season we keep two crews on standby. Ring the number on this page at any hour; if we cannot make you watertight the same day we will tarpaulin the roof and come back at first light.
Can you redesign my existing roof or reuse what is there?
Often, yes. Battens and purlins in good order get reused, and a sound tile is worth keeping. We will tell you which parts are still doing their job rather than quoting to replace all of it.
How do you guarantee design quality?
Fifteen years on workmanship and up to thirty on the sheet, both in writing, plus a free inspection at twelve months. If a fixing we made leaks inside that window we come back at our cost.
What if I do not know exactly what I need?
That is the usual case, and it is what the free inspection is for. You will get photographs of your own roof, a plain description of what is wrong and a price for each option — including doing nothing yet.
Not on the list?
Three ways to ask us instead
A roof is a specific thing and most questions about one are specific too. None of these three costs anything.

Email a photograph
A picture from the ground and the address is usually enough for us to tell you whether it needs a visit or a repair.
