Specialisms
Roofing, done six different ways.
From a single ridge tile to a complete re-roof. Every job done by the same two pairs of hands, photographed at each stage so you see exactly what you paid for.
Chimney Restoration
Re-pointing, new pots, lead flashing. The Victorian stack done the Victorian way.
Slate Roofing
Welsh, Spanish, Cumbrian. Nailed or hooked. Half-a-century life if it's done right.
Flat & Felt
EPDM, modern bitumen, fibreglass. Garages, extensions, dormers.
Storm Repair
Same-day tarp. Insurance reports. We answer the phone at six in the morning.
Pointing & Repointing
Lime mortar, hand-tooled joints. The thing that makes Victorian brickwork last a century.
About the firm
A trade passed down a workbench, not a balance sheet.
Royal Roofing started thirty-eight years ago with a single ridge tile and a borrowed ladder. Three decades on, the firm is still small on purpose — same lead roofer, same crew, same standard.
We don't subcontract. We don't take on more than we can stand over. And we do answer the phone.

In their words
Hertfordshire homeowners on Royal Roofing
Honestly the most stress-free building job we've had. They turned up when they said, finished when they said, charged what they said.
I'd had three roofers in two years and the leak was still there. Royal found a hairline crack in the lead flashing none of them had seen. Sorted in an afternoon.
Storm took half my chimney off. Rang at seven, they were up by eleven with a tarp. Restored two weeks later — looks better than the rest of the house.
Quoted half what the big firm wanted, finished a day early. Twenty years on the roof's never given us a moment.

Coverage
Hertfordshire, top to bottom.
Bushey is the yard. From there we cover the bulk of WD postcodes and a little way into HA. If you're a bit outside, ring anyway — we'll tell you straight if the trip makes sense.
A roof worth keeping starts with a phone call.
Free quote, no pressure, no upsell. We'd rather walk away than do half a job.
