Aidan and Adam did some repairs to one of my roof valleys and cleared moss from both too. They also checked there were no other problems. From the initial visit to inspect and advise me of what was required, I was impressed by their helpful and polite approach. They arrived when stated, didn't waste any time and didn't leave a mess. I would use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them if you need help with your roof.

Aidan and his team, reroofed our 1930s house, reusing most of the existing tiles, installing new felt and battens. All lead work was replaced, chimneys capped and new guttering installed. The quality of the work has been excellent, with high quality materials used. Our outside space was left tidy at the end of every day. Communication was good throughout; With a fast response to request to quote. Updates throughout the job of what / when they could do depending on weather and afterwards. And quickly responding to / sealing some guttering a few weeks after the job was done when I spotted a small leak. The work was carried out the agreed price, despite weather delays. The quote was competitive with ones I'd had in the past.

We cannot recommend Aidan Carroll and his men high enough. They recently replaced our roof and guttering. This was done very efficiently, with the minimum of fuss and disturbance, and at a fair and reasonable price. Aidan and team were not only friendly and courteous, but they took great pains to carefully explain what they were doing, and what we should expect and by when. In fact, they went further than this ? even coming out spontaneously on a number of occasions when they thought the high winds and rain were causing us alarm. We are absolutely delighted with the top quality work and assurances Aidan has provided. He is a dedicated and highly professional businessman, with excellent interpersonal skills. He richly deserves the various industry body accreditations he is receiving, and we would happily give his name and details to anyone who needs roofing work undertaken.

Aidan has restored our faith in roofers. He always replied to texts/calls, always kept us informed about progress, always turned up when he said he would, and stuck to the quoted price. He did a really excellent job on replacing our ageing roof, which had been bodged up many times previously, and did so with the minimum of fuss or mess. You might have to wait a while before he can fit you in, but he is absolutely worth waiting for.

Missing communication
Aidan came over to check my roof. He came at the agreed time and described his service and the guarantee he offered, which all sounded good to me. He took measurements and told me that he would send me a quote in 2-3 days. However, I didn't receive any quote or any communication from him after that. I texted him a week later to ask if he was going to send me a quote. It has been another week and he hasn't bothered to reply to my text either. I feel I have wasted my time. If he was not interested in the job, it would have been nice of him to say so, rather than leaving me hanging.

Aidan was knowledgeable, realistic and straight forward, not only when he first identified the location and nature of the problems in my roof but also during the course of its replacement. He worked tirelessly, sometimes in difficult circumstances and he always paid attention to detail. He and his team retained focus throughout and brought the project in on time and within budget. Aidan has a wealth of experience and expertise which he shares cheerfully with his clients. I was kept well informed and given choices wherever possible. And at the end, he sent me a portfolio of photographs charting the progress of work from start to finish with a very polished final product.

Aidan and his team completely renovated our slate roof. The work was completed to a high standard, in the expected time (despite poor weather), and to the estimate provided. Aidan explained what was required very clearly so we knew exactly what to expect. Aidan went above and beyond to source suitable replacement slates to blend with the originals. The team were very friendly and worked in a COVID compliant manner.

We have a listed farmhouse and outbuildings with a mixture of old clay and slate tiles. Aidan and his team quoted for the work and completed it in a timely manner. He was very considerate and the quality of his work is excellent. His attention to detail and experience was demonstrated, spotting areas that needed renovation that I had not seen. He walked round with me to show me what work had been done and to ensure I was completely satisfied before he packed up and left, taking with him all broken tiling. I would recommend Aidan without hesitation.

During a period of heavy rain, I discovered that the roof of my extension was leaking badly and water was coming down through the ceiling. After being let down by a number of roofers who said they did not have time to fix it, Aidan Carroll came the very next day to look at the leak and did a temporary repair the next Monday morning. He and his friendly crew later renewed the whole roof to a high standard for a reasonable price and did not charge more than quoted, although some unexpected problems with the roof turned up. They cleaned up everything afterwards and Aidan even gave me some free advice about other troubles with my house unrelated to the roof. So I can thoroughly recommend Aidan Carroll and his A&J Traditional Roof Renovations

Our roof was leaking rain into our young daughters bedroom. Aidan and his team came round, explained what required doing and gave us clear options & pricing. The prices quoted were decent, and after they expertly completed the job the cost seemed tiny!

I called Aidan on a Saturday based on the reviews and ratings here. The job was to replace a couple of tiles dislodged by my son trying to kick his football over the house! Aidan offered a visit the next working day, and then called later that same day after it started raining to offer a visit on Sunday if I was concerned that any water was getting in. I thought that was very good of him. Fortunately there was not water getting so, so I waited until Monday, and he arrived with his men at exactly the time agreed, and they got to work assessing the problem and repairing it. They made sure to protect the roof while working on it and because they managed to do the repair fairly quickly, charged me less than the estimate. Very happy to recommend him.

I represent the Management Company that looks after this block of flats. One member reported a small, but distressing leak. After an unfortunate experience with another Company who failed to respond, and with a very wet weekend in prospect, I contacted A& J Traditional Roofing. Aidan came round the same day, and fixed the problem there and then. I could not have asked for a better response, or for quicker service.

I contacted Aidan on the basis of 14 other Which? reviews and he didn't disappoint. Within the space of a couple of days he came and assessed the necessary repairs needed to my roof, emailed a very reasonable estimate together with evidence of insurance cover and the work was promptly carried out by his team of three in a polite and friendly but professional and efficient manner. He has 25 years of roofing experience behind him and I sensed that he enjoys and takes pride in the work that he does, most of which is as a result of recommendations. I would certainly not hesitate to use him again.

We contacted Aidan because a long-term leak was discovered in the roof of our 1903 3-story semi, and there was damp in a chimney wall on the other side of the house (the leading around the chimney was suspect). Aidan told us two sets of scaffolding would be needed, and gave us an estimate for the whole job which we agreed. Then I took pictures through a skylight and it was clear some re-pointing of the chimney would be needed. Aidan & co eventually repointed the whole chimney, leaded the gulley which had caused the leak, and fixed other problems which became apparent when he was up there, keeping us informed throughout, and all to the original estimate. Highly recommended.

We noticed a leak in our ceiling and looked on Which Local for a recommended local roofer and found several good reviews for Aidan at A&J Traditional Roof Renovations. Aidan turned up promptly for the appointment we had made with him, found out the source of the problem (fairly minor: some slipped slates) and came back again as per appointment two days later to do the repair. Aidan was friendly and helpful and the cost seemed in line with what to expect for a roofing job. We would contact him again for any roof problems.

Aiden has recently replaced our roof (August 2012). Our roof had not been touched since 1930 and we knew it needed work. Aiden gave us an honest and accurate assessment of the work that needed to be done. Aiden and his team have re felted, re battened and upgraded the insulation in the loft. His work is of an excellent standard and he is a true master craftsman - he is honest hard working and reliable. He charged us a reasonable price for the work and was very accurate about what it would cost - there were no horrible surprises and "extras". I highly recommend him. He was recommended to us by word of mouth and rightly has an excellent reputation.

After a quick browse of Which? Local we chose Aiden to replace the felt roof of our gabled garden summerhouse. At the end of several weeks of drought, strong winds had torn off the existing felt - just before some heavy showers arrived. To protect us from further rain, Aiden and his assistant came at fairly short notice and quickly made us watertight again. They did an excellent job, tidied up after themselves, and charged a very reasonable price. They also did some remedial work to our house roof for good measure. What more can you ask? I strongly recommend.
