Trained on our own sites
Labourers learn on our jobs, to the standard Mark and his grandad set between them. We do not pick up casual crews on the morning of a job, so the way your roof is built is the way we build every roof.

Our Story
Started on a ladder at thirteen,
still on the roofs today
Mark Harding learned the trade the old way — on site with his grandad, at thirteen years old, carrying tiles before he was allowed to lay them. That grandad had already spent a working life on roofs, and what he taught was not a sales patter. It was how to read a roof, how to make a joint watertight, and how to leave a job you would be happy to put your own name against.
Three generations later, that is still the business. Harding & Co. is nine people working out of 48 Buckfast Road, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5NB. Labourers are brought on and trained on our own sites rather than hired in by the day, because the only way to guarantee the standard is to teach it.
We work for homeowners who do not want to think about their roof again for twenty years, for buyers who need an honest read on a property before they commit, and for landlords and commercial clients who need a building kept watertight without drama.
Who we help
Homeowners with a leak, a tired roof or a survey report they do not understand. Buyers who need a pre-purchase survey before exchanging. Landlords, letting agents and commercial clients who need a roof kept in service. If you own the building and the water is getting in, that is our work.

Mission & Standards
Do it once, do it properly, stand behind it
Roofing is a trade where the customer cannot see most of the work. Our answer to that is simple: quote in writing, explain what we found, photograph what needs doing, stage the payments so you are never far out of pocket, and back the finished roof with a guarantee long enough to matter.
Written before it is started
You get a written quote with the specification, the staged payment schedule and our insurance details before anyone climbs a ladder. On a new pitched roof, the first 30% falls due once the scaffolding is up, not before.
Guarantees that outlast the job
New pitched roof installations carry a 25-year guarantee. Flat roof installations carry a 15-year guarantee, plus the manufacturer-backed guarantee on the system itself, which we pass to you.
Fixed at the cause
We trace a leak to what is actually causing it rather than patching the wet patch. That is slower on the day and cheaper over the life of the roof.

Spray foam removals
No certificate is issued for a spray foam removal — nobody in the trade can issue one. What we can tell you is that every removal we have carried out has been signed off by building control and surveyors without issue, which is what matters when you come to sell or remortgage.
