Report
I asked GNR to inspect the roofs in our home, which is a collection of 19thC converted agricultural buildings that had been completed about 4 years ago. The problem was that the original architect and their contractor for the project had recommended that the original old tiles could be safely reused and that they would last for many more years. This was untrue; we found the first leak about 6 months ago and needed professional advice. GNR closely inspected all the roofs and found that there were many problems; the old tiles were not capable of being re-laid and there were many gaps, letting in water, leaf debris and insects.
I employed them to reroof the entire property with the hand-made tiles that were recommended by the local conservation officer. The work was done expertly and expeditiously - and to a very high standard, even with all the original leadwork now replaced. Highly recommended. 5 stars

The detailed quotation given was exactly as requested unlike other quotes. The work started on time but took a little longer than anticipated due to material shortages. The guys on site were very good and a obviously new there trade. They responded to my comments during the works without any issue. I would recommend any time.

Replaced 2 flat roofs and repaired a valley. Always friendly and helpful, and provided excellent communications to let me know how things were progressing. The work area was kept tidy and I had absolutely no issues with having the team on site. I was recommended them and would not hesitate to do the same. Service: Roof repair

I had a replacement roof fitted by GNR and I was very happy with the service I received. The quote was detailed and it incorporated well thought out solutions to some of the problems my existing roof was exhibiting. The team turned up when they said they would and they saw the job through to completion. Communication was excellent and any issues that developed were rectified promptly. I cannot complain at all and I would like GNR to undertake more work on my property in the future.
