“Rob turned up at the agreed time and arranged to inspect and repair the guttering. They were able to come back the same day and resolved the problem quickly and with no fuss. Both Rob and his colleague were friendly and courteous and we wouldn't hesitate to call on their services again and / or recommend them to others.”

“The men worked quickly and efficiently, they took photos of the roof situation which Rob commented on and explained.They were very polite and all the rubbish was completely cleared.”

“From the outset Rob turned up as promptly as planned, and was clear about the quote and what was required. The guys turned up were very courteous, worked really hard and cleared all mess when the job wasfinished. Payment was only made when we had discussed the job with Rob and were happy it was as described. Great company to deal with would be happy recommending.”

“Robert and his team where very honest and hard working and repaired poor work from a previous roofer. I would definitely recommend them.”
