We were absolutely delighted with the work carried out by Keenan Roofing. They were polite, prompt, and took care of everything from start to finish. They were able to fit us in sooner than we expected which was great, they did a really great job, it looks superb and we'll be using them again without a doubt for another roof that we need replacing. It is always hard to know who to trust when using a roofer (we looked for a few quotes), but we can honestly say these guys did a great job and come highly recommended by us. Well done Keenan Roofing. 5 Stars All Round.

Highly recommend this firm. Recently had the original slate roof replaced on my Victorian house. Clean and tidy site everyday and even with the weather going against us they worked hard to finished the job on time. Access in my road is not the best but that was no problem Julian and his team to deal with.
