From first contact until completion, this company were outstanding. Communication was open and clear throughout with an initial visit from a Builder to survey the damage. He showed us photos of the problem and explained what was going on. There was then a follow up email with a list of the work and associated costs from the lovely Office Staff - who were also available by phone for any further explanation required. Once the work was agreed to, we awaited a date which came well within the estimated waiting time. The work was completed on the agreed date by friendly and approachable Builders - and

Shearer Roofing replaced all the lead work to our roof, removed a chimney and also replaced all the lead work to another chimney.

I have had roof work carried out to a number of properties over the years and can honestly say that this company is by far the best that I have ever used! Nothing was too much trouble and all the work was carried out with great pride and attention to detail.

Jamie, Just a short note from all at 67 Durward Avenue to express our sincere thanks for your prompt attention yesterday following our call. With the amount of water pouring down the stair, running down the wall and out the ceiling it was critical that we had someone attend to our unexpected issue with the roof quickly.
Linda clearly got on the case immediately, you pulled guys and Terry in from other work commitments, they arrived ahead of schedule, identified issue, picked up parts and completed repairs.
Phoned at 11:00, job complete around 14:40. What a service! You have a great team there
