Guttering/Roofing replacement
The initial job was a valley gutter replacement which turned into a full roof replacement. Martin was great and efficient. Within a day of putting the original job up he was round with a drone to inspect the quality of the guttering and showed me the defects. The scaffolding was up the next day and Martin was straight up to start the work. After a couple of hours it became evident that more work was required and Martin broke this down to me in detail with what we required and after I confirmed go ahead, the full roof was done within 5 day from the original job posting. I cant fault the efficiency or work quality from the team, they were easy to talk to and knowledgeable.Verified reviewerJob location: LS28RConnor H10 Pitched Roofing Repair

Don’t get done get Martin from home front roofing
I got in contact with Martin about doing my roof repair. Caused by a rogue trader Martin came out quickly to assess the bad workmanship that had been done previously with another contractor and to be quite frank I was terrified that I needed a new roof upon further inspection. Martin was able to do a lift and relay saving me thousands I’m so incredibly grateful to Martin and his team. I couldn’t recommend them enough His price was reasonable and his does speak for itself I was giving a guarantee an invoice upon completion for my peace of mindVerified reviewerJob location: LS1010 Pitched Roofing Repair

Roof lead sorted
I had Martin come out and inspect a leak in my roof Martin flew his drone to show me exactly what was happening and then inspected inside my attic and after a thorough inspection we found the problem so a little lead and felt work and my roof is as good as new I did ask him would I need a new roof and he told me I’m a few years away from one ( lovely to see an honest tradesman)Verified reviewerJob location: LS910 Conservatory Roof Conversions

completely new roof
Martin and his team did a great job installing our new roof. The job turned out to be bigger than initially thought which left us with a tarpaulin roof for a few days while the joists were being ordered. this was no fault of Martin's or his team, just one of those things. once the joists were ready the whole roof was done in a day. there was damage to the plasterboard in our bathroom ceiling as a result of the work, I'm guessing something fell through the eaves, but this was fixed by Martin's team in no time and looks good as new. reliable and honest.Verified reviewerJob location: LS28RIain C10 Roof Replacement

Initial request to repair dormer. On inspection required full re roof.
I had been having yearly issues with roof leaking and being given different opinions. Martin used the drone to talk me through what he could see. During works it became clearer that there were considerable issues involving beams which resulted in complete re roof. The cost and previous lack of trust with roofers made me quite nervous. Martin was very patient despite several calls and questions for re assurance and quite thorough checks on the company! He sent me progress updates and videos along the way and used the drone on completion to explain works. Great job and excellent communication!!Verified reviewerJob location: LS4RCarol T9 Roofing Repairs

Full roof repair
Very quick to assess our issue, sent a drone up so we could finally see our roof! Ended up with a bigger repair than initially thought, however the work was done within a week due to a fairly large workforce working long hours. Not sure if the price was high, low, or average, but the certificate guarantee that any future problems over the next 25 years that may occur will be fixed, at no extra cost, is a nice thing to have.Verified reviewerJob location: LS11RBethany H
