Company Profile

Founded in 1965, we are a family owned roofing company, specialising in domestic roofing works including renewal and repairs such as slating, tiling, asphalt, felt, single ply fleece backed EPDM system, UPvC guttering, fascias, insulation, chimney repairs, moss cleaning and other roof level maintenance.

In addition to the above we carry out small building works and can advise with regard to the installation of Solar Photovoltaic systems.

As members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors we are accredited Competent Roofers, self certifying our works alleviating the need for our clients to undertake the task of notifying the Local Authority Building Control when renewing roof coverings, saving both time and money.

The Local Authority will be forwarded the necessary documentation on behalf of the client and Building Regulation Completion Certificates are forwarded to the client on completion of the project with a 10 year insurance backed guarantee.

In addition to the above we are Trustmark approved a Government endorsed standards agency and all repair works are guaranteed for a minimum 12 month period.

Please note it is now also compulsory to upgrade the insulating qualities when renewing more than 50% of the roof to conform to current building regulations.

If your needs are a single tile or a complete re-roof, we will be pleased to offer the best solution.

Replacement of coverings to 2 storey flat roof extension

Although we had been warned the work might cost more if the timbers turned out to be wet, we had not expected to incur an almost 50% additional charge when this turned out to be the case. We could ill afford it and I wish I had asked more questions before going ahead with the work. Make sure you are fully prepared for all eventualities - not one company who quoted for us gave us any idea of the potential eventual cost.
Customer in Teddington, 7 March 2012
Response from J E Darling & Sons Ltd:
Unfortunately it is not possible to inspect the timber structure below flat roof coverings until the roof coverings have been removed. We clearly advise in our estimates no allowance can be made at this stage for the repair or replacement of any faulty or rotten timbers if found. Unfortunately on this project the timbers previously installed had been cut too short and were resting on Thermalite blocks which can not support load bearing timbers. Therefore with this project the additional timber works were extensive as we needed to bolt additional timbers to the existing structure, supply and install a new load bearing wall plate allowing us to secure supporting timbers.The customer was advised at all times regarding the additional costs.
