    Roofing Repairs

    A very good roofer.

    Brilliant job done, very clean and tidy. Talked me through everything he was doing, and photos to show. Did everything he said he was going to do in a very reasonable quote. I've asked him to come back and do some more work. I feel very confident with what Phil done.

    Chimneys Repair

    Posted 26 August

    Efficient and Professional Roof Service

    I approached Phil when I saw him working on a neighbour's roof. He came round the following morning to give me a quote on my chimney, on which blown flashing was causing leakage into the room below. He gave me an emailed quote and the work was done a few days later. Phil gave me before and after photos along with the invoice. He's efficient, friendly, a great communicator and very professional. I recommend him highly.

    Chimney leak problems excellently dealt with

    Phil attended promptly and on time, and carried out a thorough assessent of our chimney leak. He quickly identified a number of problems and his quotation was very competative, not requiring expensive scaffolding. We booked a repair for a few days later. Again he was prompt and worked very hard and accurately without fuss to resolve all the issues. Phil is personable, friendly and professional. He explained everything very well and left the site looking great. We are delighted with the result.

    Amazing rope-access roof repair

    Phil used rope-access to replace a roof tile on our 3 story townhouse, for a fraction of the time and price of traditional scaffolding or access towers. Incredibly prompt, professional, friendly and tidy. Amazing service and I won't hesitate get Phil back for any future work that needs doing. Do NOT be put off by the limited number of reviews! It's a new business, but Phil's experience and alternative approach with rope-access is something you would kick yourself for not trying.
