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.

New Velux Loft Room Window

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!

Interior finishing work due to smaller size replaced Velux windows

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.

After the recent rain storms my flat roof developed a leak. I consulted Which trusted trader and contacted Able Felt Roofing Limited. Malcolm was quick to respond and came over to inspect the.problem. He took photos to show me what had happened and said this could be repaired. I also mentioned a few more issues concerning the outside cowls on my extraction fans which had blocked with moss. I also had condensation issues in my loft and Malcolm recommended roof tile vents could be a solution. Work commenced a few days after receiving a quotation and Malcolm and Paul completed the job quickly and efficiently. They took photos of the roof which had been left clean and tidy. I can therefore confidently recommend this company.

Our 40 year old shed developed some serious leaks following all the inclement weather lately. Under normal circumstances I would have rectified the defects myself but geriatric circumstances dictated it was time to call the Professional. Able Felt Roofing i.e. Malcolm arrived quickly and provided a written estimate within the day. A few days later dodging yet more rain Paul, Malcolm's son arrived and over three days due to more rain stopping play the shed was re-felted and new guttering fitted. I'm confident the shed will fall down before the new felt deteriorates!! An excellent job completed very efficiently by a firm with an excellent professional attitude and processes. 5 STARS. A job well done in a timely fashion.

We found Able Felt Roofing on the Which? website which we thought was a good recommendation and we have every reason to be pleased we did. The email sent in response to our initial query was clear and to the point so we knew what might be a problem. The estimate seemed to us to be fair. We had to have dry weather for the device to be tested and we were kept fully informed by Malcolm. Paul came and did the work and we now have a fully opening and shutting window. We would highly recommend this company run by two men who are both considerate and professional.

Malcolm and his son, Paul, replaced my conservatory roof and sorted out some guttering on my garage. I have had work done by them previously, so know that they produce top quality craftsmanship and work really hard. This time was no exception: they arrived on time every morning, worked industriously throughout the day. They clearly take pride in their work, with meticulous attention paid to every detail. They tidy up at the end of each day - you wouldn't know they had been there! Both men are friendly and polite, yet manage to be unobtrusive; the only sound you hear is from their labour: in other words, no loud radios or shouted conversations. I am delighted with the workmanship and professionalism shown throughout. I would use Able Felt Roofing again without hesitation and highly recommend them.

I contacted Able Roofing to come and quote for replacing a very dilapidated garage roof which I thought was beyond repair. Paul came to look at the roof and said it was repairable. The quote was sent and I was happy and asked them to do the work. They arrived when they said they would and were very professional, clean and tidy workers. The job was completed to my total satisfaction and they also replaced the old broken wooden door with a new PVC pedestrian door. The standard of work carried out by Malcolm and Paul was exemplary and they went over and above the work quoted for originally. I would have no hesitation in recommending Able Roofing as competent, caring and clean professional contractors.

Very satisfied customer, would recommend the work done by Malcolm and Paul. I've had a leaking garage roof for 10 years which 2 previous roofers and a builder have attempted to either replace or repair. The roofers failed completely and the builder was only able to stop some of the leaks. Malcolm examined the roof explained what work was needed to repair the garage roof but more importantly explained what didn't need doing. He also gave me an estimate to replace a wooden facia and guttering on a rear extension. Once I agreed to the work in early August Malcolm and Paul started the work which was completed within a week with Malcolm keeping me updated. The repairs were tested the following day by thunderstorms during the night and heavy rain all morning, NO leaks at all. After 10 years of trying a very satisfied customer.

We moved quite recently and found that our bedroom was quite dark. After some research we thought about a "sun tunnel". We contacted Able Felt roofing as they are a local company who are "Velux Approved". This is a small family run business, and Malcolm and his son Paul carried out the work. Malcolm advised us and was very clear and honest with the pro's and cons of the different options. We were really impressed with the work, and their tidiness. The guys had to deal with an already boarded loft, and the tunnel really takes up no space at all in the loft due to the way they managed to position it. We are really happy with the results, the difference is amazing!!

I had real problems finding anyone who could pair my window blinds and Velux windows. They had been installed by a builder who renovated my house and left before it was completed. No one wanted to do this relatively minor job but Malcolm willingly took it on. It was a good price and it was his son Paul who did it. They went more than the second mile, even cleaning the windows.

We were very satisfied with the work done by Malcolm and Paul in replacing our garage roof, which included the difficult task of straightening the fascia's. They also removed and installed a new garage window. They were very reliable and arrived punctually. The need for some possible additional work, e.g. extra supports where the old ones had been damaged, was pointed out to us before the work began and a probable price given. The final cost was much as we had been expecting. Right from the beginning we were impressed by the way Malcolm got in touch with us and he continued to keep us informed of what was happening throughout the work; it was one of the reasons we chose them to do the job. Both father and son were friendly and very helpful, doing many additional tasks that we felt was beyond their remit in order to ensure a really good result. They were very hard working and also very tidy, clearing up the garage and our garden before they left every day. We would certainly recommend Able Felt Roof Ltd for any similar work.

I asked Able felt roofing to replace my garage roof, which was leaking.. They attended at short notice. They re boarded the roof up rated the joists and re felted. The work was completed efficiently and competently. This is the second time we have used this company. I am very impressed with them.

Was very pleased with the guttering work that was carried out on my bungalow recently. The finished product was to a high standard and looks far nicer than the guttering that was insitu. I felt very confident using Able Felt Roofing as Malcolm seemed very knowledgeable and was able to make suggestions on how the existing guttering could be improved. He also gave me a date when I could expect work to commence and kept to this date. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services. The aftercare has been fantastic! A great firm and a job well done by his son Paul.

Malcolm and Paul did a great job. We initially contacted them because we noticed a leak around one of our chumneys, and they came round promptly to take a look and quote. The quote was reasonable and Malcolm was very knowledgeable so we were happy to proceed. Just before they were due to complete the job our flat roof started leaking, and Malcolm kindly came straight away to do an emergency repair. He was then able to do a more permanent repair when he came to deal with our original leak. He kept us informed of what needed to be fixed and sent us before and after photos. The work was completed quickly and efficiently and to a high standard. We’d happily use them again and would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks Malcolm & Paul!

Malcolm had the unenviable task of re-doing a porch roof that had been badly designed and constructed by someone else. I had confidence in Malcolm from the start, because he thoroughly assessed the job and explained in detail what needed to be done to correct the problems. He also fixed my leaky guttering, sorted out a blockage on my garage roof and repaired a lean-to roof that has seen better days and was leaking badly. Malcolm worked hard, with great skill and attention to detail, and tidied up just as meticulously before he left each day. He did a brilliant job on my porch roof and all the other jobs I asked him to undertake. He also supplied before-and-after photographs so that I was kept fully informed. It's nice to find someone who really takes pride in what they do. I would not hesitate to recommend Able Felt Roofing Ltd. and will definitely use them again in the future.

Malcolm and Paul unfortunately took the unenviable task of sorting my leaking extension roof which had wrong flashings installed on my 4 Velux windows, which was product of a rogue builder. From the start they were professional and meticulous and communication was spot on explaining what they had found and even recording the problems they encountered and then explaining the pros and cons for each possible decision and also knowing how costly suggesting ways in which they could save us money. They were very honest in items that might have cost extra from the start The extra they charged for labour was very reasonable. They were professional from start to finish and they were immaculate in tidying up and their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Able Felt Roofing replaced three large Velux windows, removed a fourth and reinstated the tiling. Malcolm and Paul are a father and son team, with many years of experience, who work brilliantly well together. Malcolm provided a detailed quote so we knew exactly what the job involved. He is a good communicator and we were always kept informed about the schedule. The standard of work was second to none, surfaces below the windows were covered with dust sheets and all dust was vacuumed away, often as it was being produced. The installation required re-angling of the new Velux frames to meet the minimum pitch specification and this was expertly done. The adjoining roof materials have been seamlessly dressed in and every aspect of the finish is aesthetically and functionally perfect. I have already recommended Able to a family member and would not hesitate to do so for others. If, like me, you have old Velux windows that are weathered and need attention; then I don't think you could find safer, more professional hands to trust your house in.

My guttering was totally replaced along with the facia and soffit boards. Problems with pealing paint on the facia and soffit boards also in heavy rain, there was water running down my exterior walls, forced me to have all this work undertaken. There is a small section of flat roof over the front of my garage which is part of my house which also was undertaken at the same time. All this work was done in a very professional manner, and though it took a couple of days, there was no mess or materials left lying about. I am most pleased with the finished result. Even neighbours have commented on how good this all looks now. I would recommend Able Felt Roofing if you need this kind of work done. The options were explained in a very clear and polite way, no hard sell.

After accepting the quote Malcolm came within two days to do the work and finished within a few hours. All rubbish was cleared away and everything left tidy.

We decided to replace our conservatory roof with a felt finish and 2 Lanterns after various estimates we decided to choose Able Felt Roofing once again. Despite the poor weather Malcolm and Paul were able to do a superb job the finish was excellent and their knowledge of roofing is second to none so we were assured of a very high quality job at a what we believe was a reasonable price and timescale and that is what they achieved.

Replacement extension and garage roofsWe got 3 quotes 2 fibreglass and Able Felt Roofing limited. One of the fibreglass companies and Able were fairly comparative financially. What swung me to Able was 40 years experience good ideas for the garage roof and the fact that our extension roof was 20 years old felt and had lasted well so go with what you know. Also it is a local company something we wanted.Glad we did. Malcolm and Paul came each day on time polite and hard working. They dealt with everything including moving stuff that was in the way. The work was carried out effectively and efficiently and with a care for health and safety. The extension roof is fantastic with new soffits and guttering. And white stone it looks fantastic. Malcolm suggested changing our garage roof from corrugated clear plastic to steel with filon panels. This allowed a lot of light to flood in. He also fitted galvanised steel flashing and took it over the front brickwork which made the brickwork safer. What a great father and son team. They completed the job took all the rubbish away and returned our garden to how it was before. Both roofs are excellent we are very happy.I would definitely recommend Able Felt Roofing in fact I already have.
