“I asked John to help do some porch roof repairs due to a leak when in heavy rain. Hard working group of lads, John was making sure that they were doing things to a good standard and everything was aligned correctly, they were very neat, tidy and polite. I'm hoping the work has sorted the leak, but it only occurred in the extreme weather we had, so time will tell. However it has all be refreshed with new lead etc so hoping it is good. Would use again.”
