What customers say

Pauline W.Fleckney · 5 months ago

Two tiles came off in the January storms and there was a tarpaulin on by teatime the same day I rang. Proper repair done the week after. The invoice matched the quote to the pound, which after the last lot we had round was a nice change. Both of them drink an unbelievable amount of tea.

David M.Wigston · 2 months ago

Full re-roof on our 1930s semi, four days start to finish. Tom actually talked us out of the dearer tile because he said we wouldnt see the difference from the street. He was right. Left the spare tiles stacked in the garage in case we ever need them, and the drive was swept every night.

Karen & Steve B.Broughton Astley · 3 weeks ago

Good job on the flat roof over the kitchen extension, no leaks all winter and it looks tidy. Four stars only because the start date slipped by two weeks — storm season so fair enough, and Martin rang to tell us rather than leaving us guessing. Would still recommend.

No surprises

How a job runs

  1. Get in touch

    day one

    Ring, or send the form below. You'll speak to Tom or Martin — there's no call centre and no salesman. Weekday calls before 3pm get a callback the same day.

  2. Survey and a written quote

    within the week

    One of us comes out, gets on the roof or puts the drone up, and shows you the photos. An itemised, fixed-price quote lands by email within 48 hours of the visit.

  3. The work

    most jobs 2–5 days

    Scaffold goes up the day before. We start at eight, sweep the site every evening, and run a magnet over the drive so the dog doesn't find the nails first.

  4. Walk-round and sign-off

    final day

    We walk the finished job with you, hand over before-and-after photos of the bits you can't see from the ground, and leave a written 10-year guarantee. The invoice matches the quote.
