Able Felt Roofing Ltd

Malcolm (and his subcontractors) helped us replace a leaky, mouldy asbestos roof and replace it with a new, water tight one. Ours was a tricky job all round but they queued really hard, keeping us informed at every stage and changing approaches when needed sensibly, practically and at no extra cost to us. The job took longer than expected - due to complications our end - but we are delighted with the work and Malcolm's flexibility in fixing the unexpected issues. I would not hesitate to use Malcolm again.

Malcolm and his son Paul are consummate craftsmen who take pride in their work, regardless of the size of the undertaking: large and small jobs get the same attention to detail and are completed to perfection. Having sought their services before (porch roof rebuilt and conservatory roof replaced), I had no hesitation in contacting them again to deal with a guttering issue and the fitting of an extractor fan that exits directly through bathroom ceiling, through loft and roof. They also built a new frame for my garage entrance and spent time patiently readjusting an ancient roll-up door, when they could have simply taken the easier option of advising me to buy a new one. They are punctual, reliable and tidy. They work diligently and inconspicuously (i.e. no music or loud, shouted conversations). In all, a pleasure to do business with.

I can recommend this company Great Customer Service,great workmanship friendly and polite Good price they moved everything required and put it all back as it was and tidied up ,to say they were good is an understatement well done Malcolm and Paul.

We have used Able roofing on two occasions, one to fit a new Velux window and at a later date to fix a leak on a different part of the roof. Both Malcolm and Paul did an excellent job - very tidy and very pleasant to deal with. And at a reasonable cost. I would thoroughly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation.

This is the second time we have had work done by Malcolm and Paul, and their standard is first class. They replaced all our gutters, fascias, and soffits, including replacing rotten timber where necessary. They also replaced our half of a part-glazed roof over the shared side passageway, which necessitated replacing rotten timber and felt roofing, and repairing a leak around the downpipe. Their work was thorough, neat, and precise, with great attention to detail. Always cheerful, they arrived promptly each day, worked quietly and conscientiously, with only a short break for lunch, and cleared away any rubbish and waste material at the end of each day. We would have no hesitation in recommending Able Felt Roofing Ltd.

Malcolm and son have done a wonderful job in relation to the price and fitting of a replacement Velux window. It was not easy due to the logistics, but we are delighted with the quality and finish - it has transformed the loft space. I not only want to praise their can-do attitude and adaptability, but also their professionalism. They work to a high standard, including taking care to protect your property and clean up after themselves. You don't have to ask for protective sheets or consideration of flooring, etc. It is all part of their intelligent approach. I would thoroughly recommend them.

This is the 3rd time I’ve used this company. Quoted my job on Saturday and completed my work yesterday. I needed my my fairly new (under 3 years guttering rehung after a very expensive but what turned out to be a poorly executed job done by a local window and home improvement company which then went into liquidation by changing its name and directors. Malcolm came to see me and we discussed the issues with the original installation as well as other roofing issues I was having. Made arrangements to come, took down and the rehung my ‘new’ guttering so that the rain wasn't falling towards my bay Windows soaking my walls. Cleared all my gutters and fitted devices to prevent blockages in down pipes around the property. Even adding a few extra parts where he discovered shortcuts in my original installation. Highly recommend company. No hesitation is recommending his work to others.

I had been let down by several tradesmen in an attempt to have garden shed felt roofing replaced. I made contact with Malcolm who came across as honest & professional from the beginning. He gave me a quick and reasonably priced quote over the phone . Paul arrived to complete the work he was extremely polite and professional. He was happy to cut back overhanging trees obstructing the shed without hesitation. Once the work was complete he cleaned up and left the garden neat and tidy . Highly recommend Malcolm and Paul and will I will certainly be recommending them to friends and family in the future.

Able roofing were recommended to me by my neighbour that had had their identical garage roof replaced by Malcolm and his son, Paul, about 6 years ago. I could see that the workmanship was of a high standard. Malcolm's knowledge and expertise was evident from the point of first survey. We needed an asbestos roof removed and disposed of legally, before a replacement modern roof was installed. Malcolm took care of arranging the removal and disposal of the asbestos by a recognised business and when the work was done, we were provided with the necessary disposal certificates. Malcolm explained the work that was necessary and why, before providing a competitive quote. Once a date was set the work was completed methodically and to a high standard. Malcolm answered any questions I had without hesitation and also explained what work was being carried out and why, throughout the job. We had several purlins removed and replaced, brick work corrected and modern insulated roofing installed. I'd thoroughly recommend Able roofing.

This is the second time I have called on Able Roofing for help with gutter and roof repairs. They are super helpful and do a great job. Very highly recommended.

We contacted Malcolm and Paul based on their consistently good reviews and were very happy with the work that they undertook at our property. We had our flat roofs, front and back, replaced, and the quality of the workmanship is second to none. Drawing on their years of experience in the trade to find practical solutions to a difficult job, they both really cared about getting a first-class finish and we were consulted every step of the way. They were professional and friendly throughout, incredibly tidy and diligent workers and we would not hesitate to recommend them or to use them again.

I had a leak on one of my conservatory windows which leaked occasionally and so was difficult to see and assess where the leak was coming from. Paul and Malcolm checked it out and found the problem . They took photos , showed me where the problem lay and booked a date for the work . They were knowledgable, professional , experienced and so pleasant to deal with and reasonably priced. Arrived at agreed time. On completion of work I asked Paul if he could hang the blind inside as it was difficult to do. He did this without hesitation. They provide a seamless service, I would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you Paul and Malcolm.

I contacted Malcolm as my shed roof was leaking and was in need of repair. He kept me fully informed when the job could be done, his son Paul turned up at the specified time. the work was done to my satisfaction and the area was left clean and tidy. i would highly recommend Able Felt Roofing

I sought Malcolm's advice regarding a leak. I am very, very pleased with the work that he and his son Paul completed. They took the existing cladding off, making good various areas and all the additional work needed on the side wall, which couldn't of be known until the cladding come off. I am very satisfied with their work, especially with the attention to detail. It all looks great and old markings have been thoroughly cleaned of the cladding so well it looks like new and the membrane under the cladding all renewed. I am confident the cladding is not a cause of leakage and all is sealed.

Some 14 years ago we called upon Able Roofing as several traders had failed to find the problem of a leaking roof. Malcolm came, went up to inspect, took pictures, and said he could “fix the leak” but he “needed to fix the roof”. The work was very successfully carried out. Since that time Malcolm and his son Paul have come for any repairs to the roof, but have also replaced 3 garden roof buildings with metal sheets, again successfully. They will always give cheerful advice on any other aspects of work needed, which has been the case with the garden sheds. The advice is based on solid knowledge and expertise from their years of roofing work, and is very welcome. Never forgotten that time when he “needed to fix the roof”. This is a pleasant, trustworthy company, and their trade mark is well deserved.

My asbestos cement flat roof on my garden workshop was showing signs of age, so a flyer from a national company goaded me to seek an estimate for replacement. Having priced up the materials myself and with a ball park figure in my head, I was gobsmacked at the first estimate received and sought a local company that could provide the same service. Had never used Able Roofing before but their portfolio impressed me enough to make enquiries. Within a day Paul came round to measured up and an estimate soon followed. With the cost within my budget, the wheels were set in motion. Malcolm co-ordinated the job with sub-contractors removing the old asbestos sheets and leaving, ready for Malcolm and Paul to install my new roof. There was a small amount of additional work required but nothing but praise for Malcolm and Paul, with communication throughout the job, attention to detail and tidiness, I was well pleased with the finish result and would certainly recommend them to anyone. Would make them my first port of call next time.

Following some incorrectly fitted velux's which was leaking water into the house, Malcolm and Paul reviewed directly with Velux and gave us a number of options to resolve the problem, this resulted in replacing the existing windows. The turn around time was excellent as with the attention to detail. Work throughout was clean and precise and no remedial work required by us after the fit. Would fully recommend them to anyone in a similar position.

Malcolm and son came to fit a new window and completed the job very well. They also cleaned the gutter and fixed some tiles which was not in the quote for free which we are very thankful for. They were very polite and cleaned up after themselves which was an added bonus.

Having tried to get my old and faulty Velux window replaced for several months; being quoted ridiculous prices and being let down by fitters I am so happy that we ended up getting the work done with Able Felt Roofing. I could not recommend Malcolm and his son Paul enough. They are professional, efficient and tidy. We had to wait a little while for them to become available due to poor weather but they were always honest and realistic with their communications with my partner. I had several valuable items in the room which they protected with dust sheets and left the room in a good condition when they left. I noticed that Paul held the hoover nozzle up to catch dust as he was trimming plaster work which struck me as particularly professional. The window looks great and has been fitted perfectly. Very happy!

I initially met Malcolm a year ago as he is a Velux recommended installer. We had problems with our existing windows in two rooms and he came promptly to look and gave me some very helpful advice and suggestions regarding replacement windows. As we needed a specialist roofing material on our modern extension roof, Malcolm fairly suggested that the roofing company we had chosen would be more than capable of installing the new windows for us. After the roof and windows were replaced, I called Malcolm to see what he could suggest to finish off internally. Once again he had some helpful suggestions and a couple of days later, his son, Paul, came to complete the job in our loft bedroom. He has done a superb job, with great attention to detail. The surround he has constructed looks as though it is part of the new window frame, when there had been quite a large gap all around, due to the smaller size of the new windows. We also needed the work completed as quickly as possible as we were unable to use the room, due to wind and debris coming through the gap leaving us open to the roof space. As well as being extremely competent in their work, both Malcolm and Paul are extremely considerate and kind. They took account of our situation (they needed to wear masks due to my husband's ill health) and were helpful and patient. They certainly inspire trust and have been excellent throughout.

Our leaky guttering badly needed replacing, all work carried out by Paul and Malcolm was carried out in a professional manner with the least amount of disruption and they always tidied up at the end of the day. Once the work started it soon became obvious that the guttering, soffits and fascias were in a poor state of repair and required more extensive work, this was carried out by Paul, it was challenging at times but was dealt with skilfully and looks amazing, we are so pleased with the end result, it really does look good. We wouldn’t hesitate to 100% recommend Malcolm and Paul and will defiantly be using them again.

Mother nature aka sun and rain had caused extensive deterioration of an 8'x 6' garden shed roof. Having used Able roofing in the past it was time to consult Malcolm once again. He attended quickly to assess the problem and provided a written estimate within the day. The shed roof was repaired within a week by Paul, Malcolm's son. A little bit of timber replacement was required and new gutters fitted and the job was completed in a day. A first class service by a very efficient company. I have no hesitation in recommending Able Felt roofing.

I had my guttering replaced about 18 months ago but it was leaking and splashing on a wooden side door, at the front of my house. I couldn’t get the previous installer to come back and make good. I choose Able Felt Roofing after reading reviews on Which? Communication with Malcolm was clear and concise. Paul (son) attended to assess the job. I wanted an additional downpipe and we agreed on the placement. I then received a very reasonable written quote, via email. On the day, Paul arrived on time and completed a very neat job and cleared up all the mess made on my drive, as well as my neighbour’s drive. I received an invoice the following day that was less than the original quote, so I was very happy.

I have used Malcolm a few times over the years and had no hesitation in calling him when I needed some roofing and drainpipe repairs. He came round quickly, gave a good quote and completed the work professionally and to his usual high standard. Thoroughly recommended.

WE have used Able Felt roofing before, for our house and garage and for my father in law's house. They have done excellent work each time and have never let us down. They have always worked to a high standard and are friendly and professional. I would always use this firm for any roofing needs.
