“Roofing 365 Michael were excellent. They sorted out a big problem that I had inherited with my house that I had owed for two years . The extension into the roof that was originally done was sub standard and has caused 6 years or more of leaks into a bay roof . Micheal and his team identified the problem when other builders. And roofers had failed and repaired it to a very high standard . Micheal is an outstanding professional and his team are excellent . I highly recommend this company for high standards of work , efficient, reliable, honest and understanding.”
