Checking blocked gutter

Alan responded to my request for help on the same day I rang him. He rang to say when he was coming and as the gutter was not blocked, was able to tell me what the problem was so I could ask my neighbour to whom the responsibility fell. He has worked for us in the past and has impressed me with his quick response time, ability to assess the situation and politeness. When another contractor had repeatedly failed to remedy a particular problem, Alan was able to come in and sort it out quickly and effectively. He is my first choice for his line of work and I have recommended him to others.

Complete replacement of roof, including removal of one chimney stack and rework of the other, and to fit UPVC double doors and side panel to form a porch.

Following initial contact and a prompt meeting we were given a reasonable estimate and the work was able to start very quickly. The roofing was done in good time and to a good standard despite it being in the cold spell in February. When we found that the wrong chimney had been capped, this was promptly corrected. The new porch was again done in good time and to a good standard. The work was well-managed, all questions and issues were sorted out very quickly. Now the scaffolding and skip have been removed the house looks really good.

Cleaning roof of moss, fixing loose tiles

Second job they've done for me and once again first rate. Could have cleaned up a little bit better, but feel minor criticism.

Response from Traditional Building and Roofing Contractors:
We note the comment on the clearing up and I will address this with the men on that job to ensure properties are fully cleared. I will give a final check myself, not only on the work completed but on the cleanliness of the site.

Study extension to side of house and extension to patio

The building programme was clearly defined in advance, with the targets established for the week ahead. Stage payments were made at the end of each week. The extras we requested were quoted and accepted in advance. Mr Harvey runs a superb team and, sensibly, brings in specialists (electricians, painters, plumbers, patio-layers etc) as required. Their attendance on site was pre-arranged and happened exactly as planned, as indeed was the delivery of the various materials required at each stage of the project. The entire team performed with courtesy (not only to ourselves but also to our neighbours) and were truly professional every step of the way, with the site being maintained in a tidy state throughout. The bonus was that the works were completed 3 weeks ahead of schedule! Highly recommended.
