Repairs to leaking main house roof
I found Aabsolute Roofing on the Which website and used them. Having emailed them detailing my roof problem, Mark replied to me that same day, a Sunday! He visited me the following day and inspected my roof. I was fearful that I might have needed a whole new roof, but Mark assured me that that was not the case. He explained what needed to be done. It was so refreshing being given a true breakdown of my roofing issues and so comforting knowing it wasn't going to cost the earth. His quote was a very reasonable price and so I agreed at once to have the work done. He was back 2 days later and had the job done in 2 hours. He had to strip away the tiles on 2 sections of roof, replace 2 large sections of damaged felt, remove and replace old battens and put back and replace some broken tiles. He was brilliant. Thank you Mark for the excellent work - I have already recommended you to a couple of my local friends.

Roof repair
The job was to strip out the existing valley all the way to the ridge. Inspect the sarking felt and repair if required. Re-bed the valley tiles replacing any damage. Mark was very friendly and knowledgeable and fully explained the issue and work required. The job was done exactly as planned and invoiced according to quote. Mark and Josh arrived on the day as agreed and completed job satisfactorily on the same day. Done efficiently and excellent workmanship.

Soffits, fascias, guttering professionally done
Mark turned up when he said he would, provided a written quote and came back to look another issue I had forgotten to mention on his first visit. His price was competitive, and I was impressed by his other reviews. He and Josh are professional and friendly and they worked hard for the 3 days it took to finish the job. I am no judge, but a builder working on a neighbouring property commented that they had done a great job.

ROLLS-ROYCE QUALITY & SERVICE WITHOUT ROLLS-ROYCE COSTS
Mark & Josh arrived on Thursday 11th, January to undertake the installation of a a fairly large shallow pitched flat roof of some 30 square metres. Their work entailed the removal of existing plastic covering and sheets of Sterling board that had been damaged through rain water penetration. They both worked like Trojans in laying a new roofing membrane together with new UPVC scribed in side panels and with main fascia and guttering. The quality of the workmanship can only be described as Exhibition Standard. Hence my attribute of ROLLS-ROYCE.

Fascias, soffits and gutter replacement
Mark & Josh replaced all the fascias, soffits and guttering on our house with UPVC and deep flow guttering. Whilst the work was initially delayed (thanks to the multiple storms) we were kept informed and the work was carried out well. All old materials were cleared from around the house, and the result looks really professional (we had black soffits and fascias fitted which look much better than the white ones. All in all a great job and both of them managed to stay in good humour despite the weather……

Super Job
The ridge tiles on our extension were coming loose and in danger of falling off. Mark identified that ‘bonnet’ tiles should have been used and that the wrong mix of sand/cement had been used. He removed the ridge tiles and old cement from sloping corners and cut and fitted the new bonnet tiles. The result was a much better looking extension roof than before, with the new tiles fitting perfectly. Everything was cleaned and tidied up, and the job was completed in a day. We are very pleased with the work and would highly recommend Aabsolute Roofing without hesitation.

Excellent company to deal with
I had been looking for a trusted roofer who I could be confident would do a good job, luckily a customer of mine recommended Mark. So after contacting him he promptly came round to check what needed to be done after agreeing. Marks quote which was reasonable, for reseating all ridge tiles on my two storey extension along with cementing both gulleys cleaning all gutters and re-bedding the front porch verge and ridge tiles with red dye frost proofing etc. An immaculate job was carried out, when Mark and Josh left I was hard pressed to tell they had even been there, No mess at all. Would not hesitate to use again and would highly recommend.

Replacement of bay window roof, the ceiling under the bay and the repair and cleaning/unblocking of gutters.
Very impressed with the whole process from initial contact, visit and quote through to completion of the works. Mark and Josh were extremely professional, hardworking, courteous and personable and did a first rate job. They took away all the rubbish and left everything neat and clean. The price was exactly as quoted and we would not hesitate to recommend them, and will indeed use them again when needed.

Professional, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable
Mark replaced the guttering at the rear of our property, and repaired a section of the valley on our roof immediately above the gutter. Following an extension to our property, the previous guttering had not been installed correctly. Every time it rained, water fell between the gutter and the wall below the valley, overshot some the guttering, and leaked at a gutter union. Mark visited the property and quickly identified the issues with the guttering and the valley, explaining and showing me in detail what the issues were, and how they could be fixed. I did chase him for the quote after a week, but it was then sent quickly, was reasonable and detailed. The work was carried out a couple of days after the initial agreed date as the guttering hadn't arrived (he came in person to explain which I thought was very courteous), but the works were carried out with minimal fuss, and to budget. They worked hard, cleared up and swept the patio afterwards, and Mark talked me through/showed what they’d done – including a test bucket of water thrown on the roof to ensure no more leaks, and that the water was flowing the correct way! They carried out all works that had been agreed, and also kindly cut, cleared out, and added a round pipe shoe to another down pipe which was blocked for free. I found Mark and Josh to be easy to talk to, friendly, polite, knowledgable and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would recommend them.

Remove two courses of tiles and refit. Dispose of damaged felt and first batten. Fit new eves protectors. Fit new batten and re-tile.
Leaking roof work undertaken within a week of accepting the quotation. Quotation was clear and precise. Invoice was as agreed. My neighbour used Aabsolute Roofing and I could see how well they were doing the work from my upstairs window. Recently, after a storm, a few drops of rain came through into my bedroom and I had no hesitation in contacting them. Very happy with their professionalism before and after undertaking the work to my complete satisfaction.

Replaced tiles, rebedded hip tiles, realigned guttering and installed downpipe
Mark and I had agreed that as our job was quite small, he would fit the job in around some of his larger jobs. By chance he rang this morning to say that there was a delay on one of his jobs so could be come round today. Ten minutes later Mark and his colleague Josh were round and starting the work. Mark and Josh are both very friendly and polite. They cracked on with the job and asked for my input when a decision was required. Mark was replacing a missing tile from the roof above the front bay window and the new tile they brought with them wouldn't have blended in. Mark offered to take a tile from the side of the house that's not visible and move it to the front, and put the new tile on the side. This has worked well and you cannot spot any colour change on the front. Mark also replaced some cracked tiles on other parts of the rear roof. Mark and Josh also re-aligned the guttering on the rear of the house to make the water flow better and installed a new downpipe. Mark kept me informed of their progress and we reviewed the work at the end of the job. Mark and Josh tidied up and took all of the waste with them. I'm very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them. I will also be using Mark again.

Friendly and efficient
Mark provided a quotation to de-moss and repair the roof. The work was carried out efficiently and he and Josh worked hard to complete before threatened rain arrived. He kept to the quotation but discovered serious damage when tiles had been removed which he fixed quickly and at a very reasonable price. I recommend his services.

Replacement soffits, facias and guttering
Mark is very friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job despite the variable weather. Replaced some roof slates free of charge and took down an old satellite dish that we have never used. Took pride in the work and ensured all the waste was removed. Mark stuck to the quote with no ‘additional’ charges.

Great job with replacement soffits and fascias and other maintenance
Mark is very knowledgeable. He and his team did a great job replacing soffits, fascias and repointing ridge cement. They helped with other bits of general maintenance to the property at the same time. A pleasure to have around.

Fascias, Soffits & Gutters replaced
We had Mark replace some roof tiles which he did quickly and efficiently at a good price so I was happy to ask him to do the fascias and gutters too. He provides quotations, not estimates, and he kept to them in both cases despite voluntarily doing extra jobs above and beyond. He is friendly and reliable and he is ready to clearly answer any questions about the job. I am happy to recommend him.

Quality work efficiently completed
Mark was recommended by a fellow tradesman. He did a full analysis of my roof - which took over 45 minutes. He went into loft space to check the source of the leak. He correctly pointed to other rooms which were affected by the leak. He replaced defective gulley tiles; flashing and broken / missing tiles. He scrapped out old concrete and worn cement and replaced. He and his team worked efficiently and completed the work within the agreed timescale He quoted a fair price and kept to quote. I am very impressed and feel very able to recommend to others.

Excellent Repair for Long-Standing Problem
I had a roof leak that let a small amount of water through the front bedroom ceiling during heavy rain. Several previous tradesmen had attempted repairs, which proved temporary. Mark immediately identified the cause, which was that my roof (and that of my semi-detached neighbour) had been built using incorrect tiles in the valleys... in 1930! The original roof had been botched using lead flashing to seal the gaps between the tiles, but this had moved over the years. Mark removed the defective tiles and flashing, installed the correct valley trays and re-tiled / made good the surrounding area. I went up the scaffolding for a closer look, and the work was of the highest quality. I would recommend Mark without hesitation, and I would certainly use his services again (although now that my roof is professionally repaired I probably won't need to). All work was on schedule and to the agreed quotation, and Mark was very pleasant and professional to deal with. Thankyou, Mark!

Made temp fix and then completed work - great service
We had a leaking flat roof caused by the excessive weather and some cracked tiles. Our window cleaner insisted it was a simple quick fix! A very costly botched job resulted which had to be "undone". Mark provided a temporary solution covering with tarpaulin before he came back to fix permanently a few days later. Whilst here to assess the work we noticed a "collapsed" gutter above the garage which Mark fixed immediately. Cannot rate him too highly.
