Replacement fascia and gutters

We asked Barry to replace our fascia and gutters as he had done such a good job on our roof last autumn. It made the exisitng fascia and gutters look very tatty- they had been put up by Joe Bodger and Co about 12 years ago and some of the gutters were trying to get water to run uphill! Barry gave us a competitive price, but warned us that he couldn't check the condition of the existing woodwork on the fascias until they were exposed. He turned up as promised and thought he would take 3-4 days, but we knew he would not compromise on quality. He eventually took 4.5 days, as the timberwork was in poor condition and a lot of it needed to be replaced. He quoted a very reasonable price for this, covering the cost of the wood and a token payment for time. Barry also made suggestions about the positioning of downpipes and the use of waterbutts, meaning he had to change his original plans and spend time sourcing parts. He didn't charge any more for this. The final job looks superb- we're just waiting for some rain to test it, but we know it will be OK. We have nothing but praise for the quality of his workmanship, his attention to detail, his concern that his clients get the finished product they want and his inter-personal skills. You won't do better than Barry!

Complete new roof

We sought quotations from 3 local roofers to replace the roof of our quite large 1930s bungalow and approached Barry as a result of reviews on Checkatrade. From the time he first came to look at the work involved, we were impressed at his thorough investigations before giving us a price- even to the extent of sending the scaffolding company round to check the work they would have to do. Initially, we were concerned that, as his price was the best we received (albeit by a smallish margin), he might take short cuts or would rip us off if he had to do extra work. We need not have worried, as his work has been first class throughout and he clearly demonstrated that he would have to do extra work to replace rotten boards. We were equally thrilled that he was very reasonable with his charges for that work. We were especially impressed that his team worked hard when the weather permitted and did not cut corners to get the job completed when it didn’t. He would not compromise his standards even though we had to wait a week for good weather before he could complete the work. In addition, we really appreciated the way his team kept the site as clean as possible and cannot believe that he has promised to come back once the scaffolding is removed to clean up the windows and rendering all round the bungalow. As a result of all this, we feel we definitely made the right choice and are thrilled with the final product. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others and have already booked him for the New Year to replace the rotten fascia boards and poorly fitted UPVC fascia and gutters. We have no doubt we’ll get another good job then!

Replaced a few missing tiles

Completely professional. Even though this was a small job they were very thorough. In fact they noticed some missing tiles I had overlooked and replaced these at no extra cost. Nice people too.

Leaking roof and dormer/Juliet balcony.

Initially I had quite a few companies come to look at the problems with my leaking dormer/Juliet balcony and I have heard every variation from, a complete new roof to stripping the whole dormer. Completely demoralised and fed up with the lack of honesty and reliability within the roofing trade I decided upon recommendation by a friend to give check-a-trade a go and picked three companies with the highest scores and feedback. I chose Bournemouth Lead and Traditional Roofing because Barry got onto the roof and did an extensive examination, he was completely honest, reassured me and told me what needed to be done to make the dormer watertight. Barry also gave me lots of really good advice on solutions to help keep my dormer maintenance free, but also told me what to keep an eye on for possible problems in the future. For the first time I felt confident with what he said….. which is more that I can say for all the others that came and looked. Bournemouth Lead and Traditional Roofing submitted a quote that was fair, detailed, clear and honest. When Barry's company undertook the repairs they were very punctual, reliable and would either call or text if there was to be any delay, I always knew what was happening next. Barry's priority was to get the dormer watertight first, they were very professional, worked very fast and were tidy. the quality of the lead work, finish and materials even down to replacing the rusty bolts on the Juliet balcony with stainless steel…were of the highest finish and standard. I can't fault the work that's been done as it's perfect, Barry and his right hand man are very trustworthy, honest, happy guys who love their work, they did a fantastic job. I am defiantly going to use him again…. hopefully not for a long time though! and will sing his praises to all.
