We talk people out of roofs
We turn down re-roof enquiries most months because the roof in front of us has fifteen years left and needs six hundred quid of attention instead. We lose the big job and keep the customer. It has worked since 1996.
Crews dispatching now Roofers in Sutton Coldfield · Est. 1996
The same family on Sutton roofs since 1996.
Jim Mayer started this firm with a ladder and a van. Thirty years on there are five of us, his son runs the jobs, and we are still working the same streets. If your roof does not need replacing, we will tell you so — that is why the phone still rings.

Why people ring us
Four reasons this phone has rung for thirty years.
Our own men, every roof
There are five of us and we do our own work. No labour-only gangs, no subcontractors you have never met. It is why we book six to eight weeks out and why the work is the same every time.
We still do small jobs
One slipped tile. A cracked ridge. A gutter that needs clearing. Firms our size stopped taking those calls years ago because the money is thin. We did not, and it is the job that stops the expensive one.
You get the honest answer
Sometimes the damp is not your roof — it is a blocked gutter or condensation in a loft with no ventilation. We are not going to invent a roof problem because you rang a roofer.
What we do
Roofs, and everything that joins onto them.
Pitched and flat, slate and tile, chimneys, lead, gutters and the storm work nobody plans for. Across Sutton Coldfield and out to Tamworth and Lichfield.

Four miles from the yard, mostly What people say
They came out to quote for a full roof and told me I didn't need one. Bloke went up in the loft, came down, and said the timbers were sound and it was the hips and the bay lead. Charged me about a fifth of what the other two quoted. That was 2019. Roof's still fine. I've sent them to my sister and both my neighbours since.

Boldmere is terraced and Edwardian, and terraced roofs are their own trade. Shared stacks, shared valleys, no scaffold room out the back.

Wylde Green is interwar semis, and interwar semis nearly all fail in the same three places. We have been fixing those three places for thirty years.

Four Oaks has the biggest and most complicated roofs we work on, and the tightest rules about what you are allowed to put back.

Mere Green is our nearest neighbourhood and the most mixed. Ninety-year-old semis on one road, ten-year-old builds on the next.

Walmley is post-war estate housing, which means concrete tile, shallow pitches, and a lot of flat roofs quietly reaching the end of their lives.

Tamworth is two towns on one map: an old market core, and the overspill estates that were thrown up around it fast.

Lichfield is a cathedral city with the paperwork to match. Half our work here starts with a conversation about what we are allowed to put back.
