A Family-Run Roofing Company for Potters Bar Homes
Cooks & Co Ltd is a family-run roofing company working across Potters Bar, Hertfordshire and North London. Most of our days are spent on the jobs that matter most to a house: taking off a roof that has had its day and putting a new one on, properly, from the battens up.
A new roof starts with a look at the old one. We check the tiles or slates, the felt, the valleys, the leadwork and the timbers, and tell you straight whether the roof can be saved with a repair or whether a roof replacement is the sensible choice. You then get a written quote and a timescale, with no obligation to go ahead.
We replace pitched roofs in clay tile, concrete tile and slate, and flat roofs in torch-on felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass. When a roof only needs attention, our roof repairs cover everything from a few slipped tiles to a leaking valley or a split flat roof.

Roof Replacement and Roof Repair Questions
The things people in Potters Bar ask us most before they book. Anything else, just call 07843 092722.
How long does a roof replacement take in Potters Bar?
That comes down to how big the roof is and what it is covered in. A flat roof is usually finished in one to three days, and a pitched roof replacement usually takes anything from a few days to around two weeks. You get a timescale with your quote, before any work starts.
Which materials do you use for a new roof?
On pitched roofs we lay clay or concrete tiles, or natural or man-made slate, chosen to suit the house. On flat roofs we fit torch-on felt, EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. We talk you through the options when we come to look at the roof.
Do you replace flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes. As well as tiled and slate roofs, we replace and repair flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and bay windows.
Will you take the old roof away?
Yes. We strip the old tiles, slates or felt and take the waste away with us, so you are not left with a pile of old roofing to get rid of.
Do you charge for a quote or an inspection?
No. Quotes are free and carry no obligation, and there is no charge for us to inspect a roof for a non-emergency repair.
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
Damp patches, water stains, a sagging roof line and slipped or missing tiles all mean the roof needs attention, though not always a new one. We inspect it and tell you honestly whether a repair will do or whether replacing the roof makes more sense.
Can you help if my roof is damaged in bad weather?
Yes. We can make a damaged roof watertight with a temporary repair while the weather is bad, then carry out the permanent repair once conditions allow.
How can I pay?
We take payment by BACS bank transfer, cash or cheque.
