Contour Roofing replaced my damaged old felt flat roof using Sarnafil Single Ply membrane. The workmanship was first class and the fitters were clean and tidy. Very professional service indeed, highly recommended local company.

I was so impressed with everything from my first call to Michelle, the two roofers turning up bang on time, and finishing off the job on a freezing cold morning while it was snowing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to others - reliable, considerate and good value for an excellent job. Thank you!

I can't speak for their service but what a terrible driver! You wouldn't expect people to drive like this whilst promoting their business.
