Highlights
"We had a leaking roof and I contacted a few roofers for quotes. Shane came over the same day to check and gave us the best quote and it was so affordable. His response time was fast and his previous reviews look good. He was very informative and knowledgable. So I gave him the go and he came back after an hour which I was impressed about as I thought I’d have to wait a few days. He fixed it straight away. His work is great and I was genuinely happy with the outcome. The next day came and unfortunately I had another leak. But this time it was in a different place. I didn’t realised my roof tiles were so old. So I called Shane over and he fixed the problem but he did it for free which were so happy with. He even went out his own way and cleaned our gutters which we didn’t ask for. That was so nice of him and I highly recommend him. I’ve passed his number to my family and friends and they will contact him when they need him. Thank you Shane."
"Prompt response to initial enquiry. Came the next day (on a weekend) to view work required and quote. Always arrived on time kept me up to date throughout the day with the progress of the work. Tidied up afterwards. Work completed to a high standard and charged as per quote. Have recommended to neighbours."
"Shane and his team did great job of pointing chimney and ridge tiles will definitely be using them again thanks Shane"

Shane was very diligent, showed videos of roof both before and after work, and was careful to make sure we were happy with everything he did for us. Happy to recommend him.
Communicated the developments of the job very well, attended with his team promptly for the repair within a couple of days of quote.
Shane turned up at the agreed time despite pouring rain and completed the work very well in atrocious conditions

Shane and his team did a great job. Will use again for additional work required in the coming months. Very polite and explained the job well with a reasonable price given. Would recommend for you to ask for a quote for work that needs to be carried out. Thank you Shane and Team.

The team remortered the roof ridge tiles and general roof maintenance. I would recommend this company for the work I received. Good workmanship and did exactly what he said they would do. He showed me a video of the completed work.
Very friendly and polite, did a great job and cleaned up after themselves and even moved some garden rubbish I had from a previous job (done by someone else). Definitely recommend.
Nice polite guy, kept me informed of what time he was coming and did a great job.
Reliable workers. Clean and tidy. Good price
Good communication
Sorted my gutter problem without any fuss and didn't charge any extra from his original quote when another small problem was found. Showed me photos of the completed work and fullt explained what he had done. Very friendly service.
A pleasure to have the work done by Shane. Tidy worker
Excellent job done at the price agreed. Prompt response and punctual.
Very pleased with the responsiveness of Shane and his team to our enquiry for minor chimney and roofing repairs. This was followed through by prompt and punctual attendance when they said they would come, rapid completion and assistance with some additional issues on the day, with Shane taking care to keep us informed and show us photos / videos of all work completed. Many thanks!
Shane was friendly, punctual and knowledgeable. He showed us photos of the problems we have been having with our leaking roof and gutter and more photos of the repair. Happy Customer. Thanks Shane.
Second visit from the guys to finish work after a repair. Good work, very friendly and tidy job. Expensive, but overall good value for money. Would recommend.
Excellent Job on fixing the dropped lead, Was able to find in using google maps, from the point of giving quotation and made himself available to fix the dropped lead due to emergency on the same day lead amazing. Little pricey but worth the money, Would absolutely use him for next job and recommend to my friends.
Came out to repair a roof and chimney. Very fair, sent pictures of everything and was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
