    Professional, efficient & friendly family business! Highly recommended!

    Posted 4 days ago

    I first had contact with ‘M Cook & Son’ as roofing contractors 24 years ago, and on two later occasions. Now 2026, the roof on my house finally needed to be replaced and it is a new generation with Peter Cook and his three sons, who came to the rescue. This family team solved a particular issue with my house roof, worked diligently with good humour and camaraderie, and were a pleasure to deal with, including Alison at the helm of the office. Trustworthy roofing business!

    Recommendation for family firm of roofers

    Posted 20 April

    These roofers came highly recommended & we were not disappointed. Communication was excellent, proposed work was explained to us & any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly. This is a well established family firm - the three sons worked on the job, supervised by their father. The work was also overseen by the Building Controller at the Local Authority, which not all the quotes we received for the work factored this in. The benefit of this was a certificate at the end to confirm work was carried out satisfactorily. Work was completed on time. Would thoroughly recommend.

    Helpful Roof Inspection

    Posted 22 March

    Direct contact 10 mins after the job was posted and spoke to a lovely lady who organised an inspection the same day in the afternoon. The gentleman was kind and very considerate and provided us with some really helpful feedback for the 20 or so mins it took. We can certainly reccomend these folks for any roofing jobs locally!

    Exceptional new roof, exceptional people!

    Posted 21 March

    We needed a new roof on our Grade II listed Victorian home, requiring strict compliance and costly Welsh slate. It felt daunting trusting someone new, but Pete put us at ease from the start. He was transparent, explained everything clearly, and kept us informed throughout. Friendly, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. The whole process was smooth and well managed. We’re really pleased with the result and glad we chose this trustworthy, family-run business with his three sons and Alison.

With over 57 years of experience, we are a well‑established, family‑run roofing company. Our business began in 1967 when my father, Michael, founded the company after completing his training with the London Borough of Waltham Forest. He built the business on strong values of quality, reliability and honest workmanship — values we proudly continue today.

We specialise in all aspects of domestic roofing, including:

  • Flat roofs
  • New tiled and slate roofs
  • Roofing repairs
  • Lead work (qualified in Lead Bossing & Welding)
  • General roof maintenance

A large percentage of our work comes through recommendations, reflecting the pride and care we put into every project. We firmly believe we are only ever as good as our last job.

Our Family Story

I joined my dad Michael in 1985, learning every part of the roofing trade. In 2002 we entered full partnership and formed the Ltd Company.

After my parents retired in 2013, my wife Alison joined the business, and our son Harry also joined us the same year, beginning his roofing training.

In 2021, our son Jake joined the company, and Harry has since been able to pass on his knowledge and experience to him.

Our youngest son Ollie, who worked with us during school holidays and for work experience, has been full‑time since 2025, completing the next generation of our family team.

We are proud to remain a strong multi‑generation roofing company, continuing the high standards set by my father Michael over five decades ago.
