I contacted 1st Roofing regarding work needed on my fascias and soffits. Communication is fast and James visited to discuss the work. The two guys who carried out the work were polite, efficient, and tidy. Even my neighbour commented on their politeness! The day and a half work was carried out in extreme heat, but they still finished on schedule and left everything clean and tidy. I was invoiced as per the quote. I would definitely recommend them.

We recently had two flat roof coverings replaced by 1st Roofing. Right from the first meeting to obtain a quote until successful completion of job, I was impressed by Jim's can do attitude. The weather conditions were not ideal but did not seem to faze either Jim or Sean who somehow managed to work around the unpredictable weather to finish on time. Whenever expressed concerned about water being trapped under or within the layers of felt, I was assured that all precautions and no shortcuts were being taken. At the end of the job, they made a great job of clearing up which on a gravel drive is not straightforward. The head office was always helpful and responsive. Overall a great effort and good job

They are very busy so some delay, acceptable in the circumstances. We have an 95 year old roof which has problems rom time to time, especially from other roofers making inadequate repairs. Have now been using 1st Roofing for several years for intermittent problems, very pleased to know them.

This is the third job 1stRoofing have done for me. The work involved the replacement of rotten eaves boards along half the length of one side of the house which were causing the gutter to leak and the replacement of a number of cracked roof tiles and a sunken part of the roof due a batten collapse. Dealing with 1stRoofing was always straightforward, with any emails or calls answered promptly. The work was carried out on time and in accordance with the quote and with great care and attention to detail and the site left clean and tidy.

Repair to lead valley

I have used 1st roofing Specialists on several occasions. Their communication is excellent, they come and see you promptly, and the estimates are sent immediately. I have always found the work to be excellent. They come when they say and the price has always in my experience been as quoted. I have had a lead valley done, and this time a repair to another lead valley. On another occasion a smaller repair to a leaking (old) skylight. On this occasion, they arrived ahead of time to get the job done and finished before the rain was forecast! They are polite and explain options for what can be done, and show photos for what is required and photos of the completed work, unasked. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Replaced 2 missing roof tiles in foul wet and windy weather. One tile was in a particularly awkward position but the work was carried out without complaint and in a quick and efficient manner. Very personable bunch of guys, arrived on time and provided an excellent service at a very competitive price. I will have no hesitation in using them again if needed. Highly recommended.

When we were looking for someone to repair our guttering and replace some tiles, 1st Roofing were recommended by two different friends. They visited to quote for the work. On the day of the work they provided excellent advice and went above and beyond what we asked for based on that advice. The team were polite and efficient and tidied up afterwards. I would use them again.

We asked 1st Roofing to install an overflow gutter on our front porch and to clean the roof guttering. The service was prompt and professional, the quality of work top class. It was all done in less than 2 hours to our complete satisfaction. We had used 1st Roofing before and have always been very happy with their friendly and helpful attitude as well as reliable and professional service. We would definitely use them again and we can only recommend them wholeheartedly.

We have had a problem, mainly with fascia tiles, as a result of the installation of new windows. After a few months, a number of tiles slipped, dropped and broke. I looked on line for a local roofer and phoned this company and left a message. The next day I received a reply, sent photos as requested and received a quotation a day later. Having accepted the quote, a day and time was given to us. Today, they turned up right on time. The gentlemen were polite and professional. Before they left, they suggested we walk around the house with us to ensure they had done what we requested. Even better, there were a couple of things we had missed. Tomorrow, they will be back to remove some pegs, after the adhesive/mortar has set. This is a company I would recommend without hesitation.

Box gutter had been re-covered in good quality lead about 25 years ago so I was surprised when it started leaking. 1st Roofing explained it had been wrongly installed - not enough steps to allow for expansion. They provided a very fair quote and did the job promptly and efficiently.
