Had a new gutter and facia board and slate extensions fitted. And after the recent storm they came out and replaced the gutter extensions free of charge. Very good service.

I needed a new roof, fascias and soffits. I was apprehensive about cost, disruption, being listened to, being treated respectfully, the quality of the work, the mess and more! I need not have worried as the service from start to finish was professional, my requirements listened to and advice given. The work was carried out efficiently and supervised at every point considering safety and quality of work. Further I was kept informed of progress at the necessary times. The mess made was cleared up as much possible and noise and disruption contained as best as could be. From first contact with office
