History
Springs Roofing was started by Jeff Lightle in 1981 and was incorporated in 1985. From the start it provided a comprehensive range of high quality roofing services to building contractors, local authorities, housing associations and the private sector.

The company has grown steadily and has built a reputation of excellent workmanship over the last 25 years.

In December 2006 Springs Roofing Ltd became part of the Northern Bear group. Keith Muldoon, who had worked for Springs Roofing for 16 years, was appointed managing director.

Resources

Our greatest resource is our workforce. We have over 60 roofing operatives including time-served slaters and tilers. We also have trainee slaters and tilers on the Construction Industries Training Board (CITB) programme.

All the workforce have been awarded CSCS cards (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) and most have achieved NVQ level 2 or 3 in Slating and Tiling. Our ongoing training programme is designed to ensure that all our operatives achieve their full potential.

We have a very experienced management and administration team who ensure that all contracts are completed on time and within budget.
