This company acts on behalf of Charnwood Borough Council. I recently had my roof done by them at 170 Sharpley Road, Loughborough, LE11 4PW. The workers who carried out the job did an amazing job. They were very polite and friendly staff. I highly recommend this company to anyone.

This company carried out work on a neighbours property, throwing tiles and wood etc from the roof, down onto the street, leaving broken bits of tiles all over the street and lots of nails, I picked up around 20-25 nails but I have still managed to run over one and now have a puncture. Very unprofessional and uncourteous, especially when I politely asked one of the roofers, twice, if they could sweep up the tiles and nails to avoid just that.
I understand the work will cause mess, that's unavoidable, but to deliberately make the mess by throwing tiles and nails and whatever else onto the street and then leaving it, is. Especially when it would take less than 5 minutes to clear up.

Stay clear of this bunch of cowboys and clowns. Caused a leak on my roof whilst working next door. Then dropoed a tile through my ceiling and 7 months on still not sorted. Jackie dean and callum are just as bad as the roofers rude and unprofessional and never do what they say or get back to you. Dont waste your time or money. It took mdc 6 months to remove their rubbish from outside

Dean Howcroft and his team (Robin, Ethan, Neil and Darren) did an excellent job on our old slate roof and gutters. Courteous, hard working, professional and no corners cut. A really good job done safely and with integrity and for a fair price. I will use again if I need to. Services: Attic venting, Roof repair, Gutter repairs

Had a broken ridge tile and they managed to find a reclaimed one that fitted perfectly. Guys were fantastic. Took them half an hour to find one and then only charged me 3.50 for the tile. Highly recommended.

We had an extensive roof installed on our property redevelopment by Wrights over 8 years ago. A small leak developed around one of the velux windows and they came straight out to fix it. It's great to see a company stand by its workmanship and guarantees. Many thanks S Rye Ruddington

Used decent materials and the roofers were pleasant but did cut a few corners, when I brought this issue up they've attempted to fix it only to half arse it then leave without saying anything. Contacted the office to resolve issue to be told "they'll inform the roofers when they get back." Now I'm left with an unsecured roof and in the dark.
