About us

Thirty-five years on Nottinghamshire roofs

Established in 1990 by Shane Crossland and still working out of Mansfield Woodhouse. A family-run flat roofing business with credentials that predate most of the competition.

Our story

A specialist business, deliberately

Shane Crossland started Balmoral Flat Roofing in 1990 with a simple proposition: do flat roofing properly, and do it as a specialist rather than as one line on a long list of building trades. Forty years in the industry later, that has not changed.

We work for homeowners across Mansfield and the surrounding towns, and for local authorities, contractors and commercial estates who need a subcontractor that turns up with the right paperwork and finishes on programme. Many of those relationships are now measured in decades.

The business has deliberately stayed focused. We do not offer general building work, and we do not subdivide our attention across a dozen trades. Flat roofing — and the deck, insulation, drainage and detailing that make it work — is the whole job.

How we work

What dealing with us is actually like

Every quotation is itemised. Every survey comes with photographs. If a repair is the better spend, we say so — even though the replacement would be worth more to us. And if a roof does not need work at all, you will hear that too.

  • You deal with the people doing the work. No call centre, no account manager, no third-party sales visit.
  • Quotations are in writing and priced in detail, with exclusions stated rather than discovered later.
  • Guarantees are confirmed before work starts — up to 15 years, manufacturer-backed, on qualifying systems.
  • We come back if something is not right. A phone call is all it takes.

    Frequently asked

    About the business

    The questions people ask about who we are and how we operate.

    The business was established in 1990 by Shane Crossland and has traded continuously from Mansfield Woodhouse since then. Balmoral Flat Roofing Limited is registered in England and Wales, company number 07137842.

    We have been a registered member of the Confederation of Roofing Contractors since 2005 and an assessed member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen since 1998. Our operatives are CSCS certified, UKATA asbestos trained and DBS checked, and we hold £5m public liability and £10m employers' liability insurance.

    Our own directly employed operatives — not subcontracted labour. The people who survey your roof are the people who will install it, and the same team signs the work off at the end.

    We subcontract specialist trades such as scaffolding and electrical work where those are required, and we coordinate them ourselves so you have one point of contact. The roofing work itself is carried out by our own team.

    Yes, every member of the team is DBS checked. That is a requirement for the school, healthcare and public-sector sites we work on, and it applies on domestic work too.
