The Aldermoor crew stripping and reshingling a brick two storey home, ladders at both gables
A&SEST. 1984Family owned since 1984

Forty years on the roofs of Harrow County.

Shingle and metal roofs, leak repairs and gutters, installed by the Aldermoor family and the crews they trained. Walter started it in 1984. His sons and granddaughter still answer the phone.

Leaking right now? Call and say so. We tarp the same day, county wide.

Four kinds of work, each with the warranty written next to it

Every roof we sell carries two warranties: ours on the workmanship, and the manufacturer’s on the material. Both are on the quote, both are on the invoice, and both are registered before we leave.

  1. Asphalt shingle roofs

    Full tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles, ice and water shield at every eave and valley, new drip edge, ridge vent and pipe boots. Most homes take one day.

    10 year
    Manufacturer
    25 to 50 year
    manufacturer warranty depending on the shingle line
  2. Standing seam metal

    Panels cut to length in the driveway so there is no seam across the slope. Concealed fasteners, 24 gauge steel, and a finish that holds its colour through county winters.

    Manufacturer
    40 year

  3. Repairs and leaks

    Flashing at chimneys and walls, cracked pipe boots, lifted shingles after wind, and the slow stain on the ceiling nobody can explain. We find the source before we quote the fix.

    Same week

  4. Gutters and guards

    Seamless aluminium gutters formed on site, oversized downspouts where the roof dumps a lot of water, and guards that actually keep the maple seeds out.

Est.1984

Started with a used pickup and two ladders

There is no mission statement in the office. There is a photo of Walter on a roof in Kettering Cross in 1984 and a whiteboard with next week’s jobs. Everything in between is below.

“A roof is the one thing on a house nobody looks at until it fails. So we do it like someone is looking.”
Walter Aldermoor, founder
  1. 1984

    Walter Aldermoor buys a ladder

    Walter had spent eleven years roofing for someone else. That spring he bought a used pickup, two forty-foot ladders and a roll of business cards, and replaced his first roof on Kettering Cross for a neighbour who paid half in cash and half in firewood.

  2. 1997

    The boys come on

    Sons Graham and Neil finish school and join the crew full time. The company buys the yard on Tallow Creek Road, hires its first two non-family roofers, and starts installing standing seam metal alongside shingles.

  3. 2011

    The storm year

    A June hailstorm damages roofs across the north half of the county. The crew tarps 140 homes in nine days and spends the next two years replacing them. Half our reviews still mention that summer.

  4. Today

    Three generations, four crews

    Walter still checks every job on a Friday. Graham runs estimates, Neil runs the crews, and granddaughter Elin handles scheduling and answers the phone. Four crews, twenty-two people, one standard.

Three jobs from the last twelve months

Drive past any of them. We will give you the address and the owner’s permission to knock.

From the first phone call to the last nail

  1. 1Day one

    The free inspection

    Graham or Neil walks the roof and the attic, photographs everything and shows you the pictures on the tailgate. If the roof has years left in it, we tell you that.

  2. 2Within 48 hours

    A written price

    One page, itemised: tear-off, underlayment, shingles or panels, flashing, ventilation, disposal. The number on the page is the number on the invoice.

  3. 3Install day

    One crew, one day

    Most shingle roofs are stripped and finished between 7 in the morning and dusk. Tarps over the beds and the pool, magnets across the lawn before we leave.

  4. 4The day after

    Walk-through and warranty

    We walk the property with you, drive the last nail you point at, and hand over the manufacturer registration and our 10 year workmanship warranty.

Letters, calls and the odd pie on the porch

Most of our calls start with “you did my neighbour’s roof.” That only works if the neighbour is still happy a decade on.

Sample reviews

  • Neil told us the roof had three good years left and to call him then. Three years later we did. Who turns down work like that? People you can trust with the big job.

    Carol, Brindle Hollow

  • Crew arrived at 7, roof was stripped by 10, finished by 5. My wife found two nails in the lawn the next morning and the office sent someone out with a magnet the same day.

    Dev, Wexcombe

  • Walter did our parents roof in 1991. His grandson did ours in metal last fall. The estimate was the invoice, to the dollar.

    The Lindqvists, Stanmore Heath

Harrow County, end to end

The yard is on Tallow Creek Road in Harrow Point. Anything within about forty minutes of it is a regular job. Further out, ask, and we will usually say yes.

Tell us what the roof is doing

Elin will call within one working day to set a time. Inspections are free, take about forty minutes, and end with photos of your own roof, whatever we find.

Have a photo of the problem? Say so in the message and Elin will text you a number to send it to before the visit.

No obligation. If the roof is fine, we say so and leave.
