Dave and his team fitted our new roof a couple of weeks ago and we cannot praise them enough! From start to finish their professionalism shone through. The whole team were approachable, respectful of property, friendly ( nothing was too much trouble ) and at the end of each day they cleaned up after themselves!! A rare commodity these days!! The roof looks amazing and we wouldnt hesitate in engaging Parkes Bros Roofing again! 5 star service throughout!

I have used Parkes Bros on two occasions now. They are a fantastic company and would highly recommend. Father, son and all the other guys are brilliant. Very professional and friendly. They took time to look at the at the jobs, explain what the problem was and what they were going to do to address it. They turned up as planned and completed the work. The price was very good value. Because Parkes Bros are so good, you may have to wait a while to get booked in, but definitely worth the wait. From a very satisfied customer.
