    Roof felt replacement

    Posted 05 April

    This is the second time we used Old School Builders for their roofing expertise. Jimmy always kept us up to date with what was happening with the external scaffolding company and Jimmy’s team replaced our damaged roof felt promptly. Couldn’t recommend their services enough.

    Roof Repairs and Brick Cleaning

    Posted 13 February

    We recently worked with Old School Builders for roof repairs, render removal, and red brick cleaning. The experience was fantastic. Jimmy and his team showed outstanding professionalism and skill. Jimmy's attention to detail, efficiency, and helpful guidance stood out. He is also a pleasure to have around. We are pleased with our roof works and our cleaned bricks now look fantastic. We've recommended Old School Builders to friends and family, who have been equally satisfied. We highly recommend Jimmy and his team for roof repairs and relevant renovation needs.

    Cladding and roof repair

    Posted 17 January

    Had our old style tiles replaced on both the front and rear of our house with modern Upvc cladding. Entire job took three days and was completed to a fantastic standard. Dan the principle roofer on our job was extremely experienced and skilled and took great pride in ensuring a high quality job completion. So impressed with the cladding work result, we had no hesitation in using Old School Builders to carry out further work to repair our roof. One hundred per cent recommend Old School Builders.

    Roof Repair

    Posted 25 November 2024

    Excellent quick response from Jimmy and his team who came out to look and gave me the options of what the solutions were. I went with the shorter term option for the moment. Then came around later the same day and made good the repairs. Very honest. Very clear. I could not recommend more highly and will use again when I need the roof done fully.

    Tiling

    Posted 05 October 2024

    Jimmy helped with the tiles on the front of our house, in particular, cutting the tiles to fit around our gas meter and pipe. He gave us a reasonable quote as was able to complete the work the very next day. The quality of the work is excellent and we couldn't ask for more.

Hello my name is Jimmy. I’m an old school builder with 40+ years in the building trade and I take punctuality very seriously. I have 100% positive feedback not only Checkatrade.. I specialise in older properties and listed buildings. I prefer to deal with customers in person and I will be the only one you deal with on site. I not use sub contractors and all of my team have been with me for many years.
