Carried out renewal of felt/boarding to existing flat roof. Work carried out in one day (before snow came) including clearing up all debris. It was a pleasure dealing with a company that is polite, honest, reliable. prompt, clean and tidy, professional and provides competitive pricing.

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.

From my initial contact, quotation and work completed the process was quick and easy. I needed some guttering realigned after I saw that it was overflowing. The work was done in a couple of hours by a friendly and informative team. More than happy with the work.

Sally and Jim were really helpful from start to finish. The mortar had failed under the hip tiles and our window contractor scaffolders broke a number of roof tiles. The crew put it all right and matched the weathered tiles very well. Many thanks.

Jim came round with his team to check all my gutters and fix leaks. He's a really nice, friendly guy, and always does a top quality job at a fair price. This is a man who runs a professional company and delivers on his promises. This is the second time I have used 1st Roofing and I've never been disappointed. I'm a delighted customer and 1st Roofing is my go-to destination for all roof related jobs. Many thanks to Jim & Sally!

Having used this company before, I chose them to come a sort out a leak in my roof. My request was quickly responded to and Jim called to assess the problem and what needed doing. A follow-up visit was arranged for today, and two employees came, within the agreed time slot and quickly started to address the work . This was quickly completed and the area left clean and tidy. The two young men were very polite.

We highly recommend 1st Roofing Specialists who we have used for over 5 years. Sally & Jim are always quick to come out and provide a quotation and arrange a suitable date for the work to be carried out. Shawn and Charlie came last week, they are always pleasant and neat in the work carried out. We've had different work done over the years. My mother has used them after heavy storms as well as friends & family. I will not recommend a service unless I'm confident in a company but these guys are definitely on my Tradesman contact list and highly recommend.

Have used Jim for many years, he is reliable and will offer you good advice. I just needed my gutters cleared this time but they also reconnected a part of the gutter that had come adrift in the wind. I also had a tile that had slipped in the gutter between our two adjoining houses and Jim advised me on what to do.

Apart from replacing a rotten fascia board and refixing the guttering, Jim's team cleaned all the house’s gutters and fixed several instances of poor pointing. All was done to a high standard. The quote was detailed and accurate and the price fair. Will definitely use again.

They were speedy and efficient and very helpful finding a replacement roof tile to match our broken one, and then even moved tiles so that the replacement was not noticeable. Checked we were happy at the end. Very pleased and will use again.

Following my telephone call to 1st Roofing to book an appointment, Jim arrived at the arranged time to look at the work requested. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of roofing, explaining what the problem was likely to be and the procedure to fix the problems. A quotation was received, we accepted and booked a date for the work. All went smoothly, scaffolding arrived on time whilst work was taking place on another area only accessible by ladder. The work was carried out by Jim and his Son, very professionally and to a high standard. The site was left clean and tidy on completion, I would definitely recommend their services.

Approx 12 years ago Jim quoted among three other companies for repairing roof tiles that had slipped. He advised that he could repair the lovely tiles and they had possibly another 10 years of life. Two other companies told me I needed a new roof immediately. 12 years on my roof needed replacing. The timbers under the tiles were completely rotten and had to be removed. He bought tiles round for me to okay and matched them very well with my neighbours roof . The quote was very competitive and all inclusive. There were no extras or add-ons afterwards. He answered all my questions with great detail and made sure I was happy with everything they were going to do. They arrived on the day agreed very organised They worked in all weathers, arrived at first light (respectfully quietly) andleft when it got dark. They were careful with garden and made sure that nothing was damaged. First class job. I would definitely recommend Jim and his company. The Office too was very pleasant and informed on every part of the job.
