Emerton Roofing (Western) Limited is a fourth-generation family roofing business based in Nantwich, Cheshire. Established over 100 years ago, we are nationally recognised for the quality of our work and have built our reputation by carrying out some of the regions finest roofing projects.
We are looking to welcome the next member of our long-established team – an experienced Slater & Tiler who takes genuine pride in producing first-class roofing work and is looking for a long-term career with a respected family business.
This is a permanent, full-time PAYE position offering a 40-hour working week, Monday to Friday, with Saturday overtime available at company discretion. We offer 29 days' paid holiday (including Bank Holidays) together with competitive pay based on experience and ability.
Why join Emerton Roofing?
Many of our workforce have been with us for years, and some for decades. In fact, more than a dozen members of our team have over 10 years' service, with around half of those having worked with us for more than 25 years. We believe that's because we provide steady work, treat people fairly and create an environment where skilled roofers can enjoy their trade.
Our roofers are able to concentrate on roofing. We organise the quotations, customer liaison, materials, transport and scheduling, allowing our craftsmen to focus on producing first-class work before finishing at a sensible time each day.
Our work is varied and rewarding. We do not carry out repetitive new-build site work. Instead, you'll be working on residential renovations, period properties, estate maintenance and heritage buildings, often in attractive rural locations throughout the region. Every project is different and offers the opportunity to produce roofing work to a standard you can be proud of.
About the role
We're looking for an experienced craftsman who shares our passion for producing first-class slating, tiling and leadwork.
Our projects predominantly involve the renovation of residential buildings. As a company renowned nationwide for excellence in heritage roofing, it's important that applicants are confident working with:
Random and sized Welsh slate
Handmade clay tiles
Leadwork
Traditional pitched roofing materials
Not every project is a heritage building. Our work ranges from estate maintenance and period homes to individual domestic properties and commercial buildings providing plenty of variety throughout the year.
Experience in timber repairs or brickwork would be advantageous but is not essential.
The successful applicant will start and finish each working day from our Nantwich depot, where a company works van (not for private use), materials and an assistant will be provided. A full UK driving licence is preferred but is not essential.
Above all, we're looking for someone who takes pride in their workmanship, is dependable, works well with others and wants to become part of a company for the long term.
If you're looking for secure, permanent employment with a respected family business where quality workmanship is genuinely valued, we'd be pleased to hear from you.

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to receiving your application.
