Highlights
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Called in the morning for a quote to fix an issue with my roof/solar panels. They came out the same evening to assess it, then returned the next day while I was at work. I was sent a video showing the problem, followed by a call to confirm I was happy for them to go ahead. Within a couple of hours the job was done, with another video showing the before and after. Fantastic service from start to finish — highly recommended!"
"Turned up on time. Great communication. Got it done quick. Made me feel looked after. Nice bunch and lads and most importantly no more leaks !"
"I can’t speak high enough of John and his son, Anthony. My 101 year old Mum had water coming in through her kitchen ceiling following a recent storm and my friend recommended these guys having used them extensively in the past. They came out and gave a quote. However, once they started the job it quickly became apparent that the job was a lot bigger than first anticipated thanks to some previous workmanship resulting in the wall not even being attached to the house!! The job was completed today and I’m over the moon with the result. Would not hesitate to recommend for any roofing jobs."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
