Complete new roof etc.
1st Choice Roofing & Building Ltd installed a complete new roof on my three bedroom semi detached house and also fitted new fascias, soffits, guttering, downpipes and repointed the chimneys. The professionalism of this company is first class. The workmanship is sublime. The workforce put their heart and souls into everything they did for me. Their time keeping was impeccable. Really polite lads. Super tidy workers. It was a joy and a real pleasure to have them working on my property. I highly recommend this company! 10/10Job location: DY310 Slate / Tiled Roofing Installation

10/10 – Outstanding Service from 1st Choice Roofing and Building Ltd!
We recently had our roof repaired by 1st Choice Roofing and Building Ltd, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly hardworking. They clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in the quality of their workmanship. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process — everything was explained clearly, and we were kept up to date with progress at every stage. The crew were polite, tidy, and respectful of our property, leaving everything spotless when the job was complete. Jamie&Emma.Verified reviewerJob location: B1410 Dry Ridge Repair

Roof Repairs
Richard and his team detected numerous problems with our roof and were so professional in how all the work was undertaken. They were very honest and after so many rogue roofers it was pleasure to have them working for us. Everything rectified. Can 100% recommend them.

New Roof
Richard was first class from start to finish. Did what he said at the price agreed when he said he would and even advised us we could afford to put off the re-roofing the flat roof part of the property for a few years yet rather than try and inflate our job. His team of roofers were excellent, very good at their job and delighted with the job done, they were also friendly and polite and left our property clean and tidy. Had 4 quotes, one a lot more expensive and one a fair bit cheaper with the other in the middle with 1st choice and no doubt I made the right decision going with 1st choiceJob location: B98
