    Very professional company, good high stands, totally recommend.

    Posted 12 May

    Excellent from start to finish. Survey for the job great, helpful friendly, got the quote the following day. The guys that came to do the work were excellent, polite, friendly, punctual and hard working. Cleared up after themselves. They did an extra job for us, a row of ridge tiles, buts the first row we had done a while back into second place. The new roof window they replaced in our bedroom loft conversion was an excellent job, no touching up to the inside decoration needed at all. The supervisor came round during the work and on completion to check everything and make sure we were happy.

    Steve and his team of amazing guys did such a brilliant job of installing my new roof. From start to finish their work was clean, respectful and they had it all done so quick. I felt at ease and I’m so happy with the finished product. No more rain dripping through light fittings!

    Balcony roofing repair

    Posted 21 March

    Steve was quick to step in and support on an issue with a balcony roof on our 3 year old town house. Right from the first conversation, he did what he said he would. He turned up to the first appointment on time, was always friendly and polite and greeted us with a smile and took the time to diagnose the issue, understand our budget and timeframe. Paul, the roofer’s work is outstanding. His work is meticulous. Working with them both has renewed my faith in the profession and the only way I can express my gratitude is recommending them and their work. Thank you, Guys.

    Garage roof repair and cement work

    Posted 08 February

    I had a leak in a garage roof and so I contact Steve. He came over and gave me a quote on the spot. Work was completed in 2 days. Steve also stayed in contact with me at all points as to let me know what was happening. While His staff were on site I also enquired about some repointing work that needed doing on the roof tiles. I was again provide with a quote and work completed the next day. Both work were completed to a excellent standard and no adjustment on the quotes that were provided. Will 100% use SDB again.

Over the years our team have been involved in every type of build and aspect of roofing, bricklaying and ground works you could imagine. From new build projects on commercial sites, to building extensions, new builds on private residences and all areas of repair work. Whichever we've been involved with, we have always aimed, and will continue to aim, to deliver the best possible quality of service in the most efficient manner.

We are used to adhering to the highest industry standards from our on site experience, working to deadlines within large scale projects to ensure the schedule runs smoothly. Our work has had to pass the test of the highest levels of scrutiny from NHBC inspectors, project managers and trained professionals who know exactly what to look for and who will only accept the very highest standard of work.


Our tradesman have carried this commitment to excellence across into our projects for private residences. Having built a number of extensions, fitted new roofs as well carrying out repair and maintenance work, our clients have always been happy with the service delivered.
