I was very happy with the work. I engaged [the roofer] to replace a box gutter. This is quite a big job involving taking off part of the roof. As often happens with an old house, addressing one problem revealed others. In the end a large section of roof and the wooden frame underneath had to be replaced. This was all done quickly and efficiently and to a high standard. The cost was very reasonable given the scale of the job. [The roofer] kept me informed at all times with photos showing the work.

After experiencing a persistent leak, I contacted [the roofer], who had previously completed remedial work for my neighbour five years ago. They provided a professional quote, completed the work to a high standard, and went above and beyond to help us. I couldn’t recommend [them] highly enough!

Had the guys come and do a restoration of my 25 year old roof. It looked tired and was missing mortar and required some real attention. [The roofer] and the team were great. Pressure washed, primed and painted, looks brilliant. Thoroughly recommended
