Report
Very professional service following storm damage. For cosmetic reasons, they put the new slates on part of the roof not visible from the front elevation and moved older tiles to the damaged part so it blended in nicely. Took them a while longer but ended with a better job. Good value particularly at a time when contractors are charging crazy prices

Sent them a mail asking someone to call me for a quote for my kitchen roof replacement and main roof repaired, nobody bothered to call me. I'm only in Middlesbrough so not fair from them. They're only taking the big paying jobs in these crazy times obviously, can't blame them really but just wait until this high ends and they go back to scratching for work again.
