From the first visit everything felt professional and clear. The solar slate blends into the roof perfectly and most people do not even notice it. Over the summer we produced more energy than we used and sold some back to the grid.
The team were punctual, tidy and respectful throughout. The solar slate looks fantastic and has not changed the look of our home. After this summer we have already covered our winter energy bill.
Everything was explained clearly from the start with no pressure. The installation was smooth and finished to a high standard. On good days we now generate more energy than we use.
We waited before reviewing and the savings have been consistent. Even through winter our energy bills dropped noticeably. Professional, friendly and everything left spotless.
With UK energy costs among the highest in the world, modern solar offers a way to protect your household from rising prices while maintaining the appearance of your home. Today’s systems are more efficient than ever, helping offset installation costs far quicker than before.
Independent UK energy reports consistently show that homes with solar installed reduce their annual electricity costs year after year. As grid prices rise, solar allows homeowners to lock in predictable savings, reduce exposure to future increases, and regain control over household energy spending.
We are roofers first, so the solar goes on as part of the roof. Panels are set into the tiles or slates, or framed on a flat roof, every fixing is sealed, and most homes are finished in a day or two.
The panels replace a section of tiles or slates and sit in the line of the roof, with a flashing kit round the edge that carries rainwater past them. From the street it reads as part of the roof rather than something fixed on top. If your roof is due for replacement anyway, fit the solar at the same time: the tiles are already coming off and you only pay for the scaffold once.
Yes. On a flat roof extension or garage, the panels sit on low frames tilted towards the sun, so rain runs off and keeps the glass cleaner, and they catch more light through the day than they would lying flat on the deck. Every fixing is sealed and the covering around the frames stays watertight.
Step by step
We start with your roof’s direction, shading and usable area, measured from satellite imagery, and send you a realistic price and savings range.
A visit confirms the figures. Satellite images can’t show the state of the battens, the felt or the tiles, so if part of the roof needs repair you hear it from us before a panel goes up. A battery goes into the design only if it suits how your household uses power.
Scaffold first. An experienced roofer fits the panels and seals every fixing, and most installs are done in a day or two.
Our qualified electrical partner connects the inverter and any battery, then tests and certifies the work. You get an MCS certificate, which your energy supplier asks for before it pays you for exported power under the Smart Export Guarantee.
Workmanship is guaranteed for 2 years, and the panels and battery carry manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years. If anything goes wrong, you ring us and we deal with the manufacturer.
Most homeowners understand that solar makes sense. What often holds them back is timing. Waiting keeps energy bills climbing year after year. Installing now allows you to lock in predictable savings, reduce reliance on the grid, and take real control of your household energy costs.
Thinking about solar for your home? Here are a few quick answers to the questions we get asked most often before people take the next step.

Nothing changes with your energy use or bills. You stay linked to your current supplier and whatever price changes come your way. Many people decide to explore solar once they realise they are paying for power they could generate themselves. Waiting simply means those costs continue, and you won’t start saving until you do go solar.
Yes. Solar panels work from daylight, not direct sunlight, and the UK gets more than enough across the year for systems to perform well. Output is higher in spring and summer, but panels still produce energy on cloudy days and during the winter months.
Adding a battery can make a big difference in darker seasons. It lets you store any surplus energy made during the brighter periods of the day and use it later, such as in the evening when usage is higher. This helps smooth out the natural changes in winter output and gives you better use of the energy your system produces all year round.
Panels on your roof turn daylight into electricity. This passes through an inverter, which changes it into the type of power your home uses. Your house uses this energy first, cutting the amount you buy from the grid. If you add a battery, any extra power can be stored for later, which helps you make the most of the energy you produce each day.
Higher gas prices, world events, and shifts in supply all feed into the cost the UK pays for power. These pressures flow through to household bills because much of the country still relies on gas-fired power stations. As a result, many people look for ways to reduce how much of their energy comes from the grid and protect themselves from price swings in future.
Most homes are, but direction, shading and usable roof area decide the outcome. We start with a roof-based estimate, then confirm on survey.
It depends on system size, roof type, access and whether you add a battery. We use satellite imagery to check your roof first, then give a realistic price range before confirming the final figure after survey.
Most installs are completed in a day or two, depending on system size and roof access. We’ll confirm timings once your system is designed.
In most cases, solar is permitted development. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, extra rules may apply — we’ll flag this early.
Not always. A battery can increase self-use and reduce reliance on the grid in the evenings. We’ll recommend it only if it makes sense for your usage.
Standard solar systems shut down for safety during an outage. Backup power is possible with the right setup — we’ll explain the options in your quote.
Electrics and battery work are completed and certified by our qualified partner. We coordinate the full process from start to finish.
Your system is installed by an experienced roofer, with fixings sealed and weatherproofed. Roof protection is part of the job, not an afterthought.
