8.5
“I recently had the roof lining, battens and tiles replaced by this company. My neighbour had a water leak into one of their bedrooms caused by the roof lining deteriorating. It was 60 years old, so had lasted quite well. I had a couple of dis-lodged tiles and on removal the battens were found to be in a bad state of repair. The work was carried out and completed in around a week. Apart from a couple of small snags ( which were corrected very quickly) everything seems to be ok. This has enhanced the look of the house and I am pleased with the result.”
