    Don’t look any further.

    Anthony, John and the lads have now done 3 roofs for us. A full reroof of our bungalow aswell as new rubber roofing on our kitchen and outhouse. They’re trustworthy and reliable as well as always willing to explain the work getting done. They’ll always try to help you out. I couldn’t speak more highly of them and won’t be going anywhere else for any roofing/building work I need done. Just make sure you have a lot of coffee!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Called in the morning for a quote to fix an issue with my roof/solar panels. They came out the same evening to assess it, then returned the next day while I was at work. I was sent a video showing the problem, followed by a call to confirm I was happy for them to go ahead. Within a couple of hours the job was done, with another video showing the before and after. Fantastic service from start to finish — highly recommended!

    Roof replacement

    Posted 12 November 2025

    I can’t speak high enough of John and his son, Anthony. My 101 year old Mum had water coming in through her kitchen ceiling following a recent storm and my friend recommended these guys having used them extensively in the past. They came out and gave a quote. However, once they started the job it quickly became apparent that the job was a lot bigger than first anticipated thanks to some previous workmanship resulting in the wall not even being attached to the house!! The job was completed today and I’m over the moon with the result. Would not hesitate to recommend for any roofing jobs.

    Replaces the timber supports for the porch, repointed the wall underneath.

    Great customer service, professional on the job, and even left us the paint tin for future touch ups. Came back immediately when some of the pointing didn't dry properly.
