Really pleased with the work Ian has done. He arrived on time both to quote and carry out the work. He was polite at all times and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Couldn't be happier.

Ian was absolutely excellent. We moved here in May and thought our large flat roof needed to be replaced because we had a leak into our hall. Ian discovered a loose slate was causing the leak and replaced it. This saved us a lot of money. Ian also replaced the lead flashing around our main chimney to sort out a second leak which was in our fireplace and a line of ridge tiles which were broken. He explained the work that required to us and showed us photos of the areas that needed attention. He worked hard and was very pleasant to deal with. Most importantly, we no longer have any leaks.

Ian capped three chimneys for us. He also checked and sealed any cracks etc. Good professional job. Good price and easy to deal with. I would recommend and use again.

Ian is very professional in the way he works with the end result being excellent. He gave a quote to redress the four valleys and within days had finished together with other rectification work. If he says a time, he is there on the day and always on time. If you want roof repairs this is the man for you.

Ian is extremely competent. He fitted me in quickly and explained everything to me clearly. He worked in difficult conditions and did a superb job. I am very grateful!

Ian came back to do a tricky leak between the house and conservatory and persevered over several days. He even came back on a Sunday morning to check the heavy rain had not washed away the mortar, just as well, it had. Also, after fitting an eaves protector, together with other modifications, the leak is now cured. If you want a man that stays with the job until it is OK , then this is your man on quality ,and punctuality. Highly recommended.

I had a loose downpipe which was allowing the rain to cascade down my wall. I messaged Dan in the morning and he had it fixed in the afternoon! Reasonable price and a friendly team, what more could you want?

Smart checks

Before you hire a roofer

Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note — that is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee — not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
