Lee and his team undertook a complete roof replacement on our derelict barn. From quoting, ongoing communication, organising scaffolding and skips all went very well. He has a hardworking team and completed the works within a good time, clearing up as he went. We had one of the gable walls collapse on us during the old roof removal, but this did not deter Lee as he arranged for this to be rebuilt without holding up the other works. Would highly recommend North Lakes Roofing Services

Left a message requesting a quote for a new flat roof and Lee phoned the next day and came straight round. After he'd had a look at our existing roof he reckoned it was sound and pointed out a small fault with a window that he believed was causing the problem. Potentially he's saved us a lot of money and wouldn't take anything to cover the considerable time he'd spent with us. A very sound, respectful bloke that we wouldn't hesitate to have back

We had a gable end chimney removed and slated over. Quote from North Lakes Roofing was by far the cheapest out of 4 local companies. We were pleased with the timescale given but they managed to come a couple of weeks earlier than planned which was great for us. All the work was done within 2 days. Very professional job, you cannot tell that the chimney was ever there. It was a pleasure dealing with Lee, he made the whole process really easy.
Cannot rate this brilliant local business highly enough.
