I am a returning customer and had an issue with the roof divider after the high winds we had here. I called the office and had James and Lewis out today to see what was required. James inspected the roof and has assessed that no work needs to be done,everything is perfect. This puts my mind at ease,excellent customer service from this company and will always be the first roofing company I call.

I wasn’t happy with this company at first because they failed to fix a leaky gutter which was included in the quote to repair a leak in my porch. Three months later, when they realised their mistake, they were very apologetic and attended promptly to fix the gutter. I’m very happy with their work, the leak in my porch, which other roofers had failed to sort out, has not recurred. Definitely would recommend.
