Aldridge and Sons Roofing Ltd

I recently used John Aldridge's company for three jobs. A loft extension flat roof replacement, rehanging vertical slates on the extension to prevent wind rattle, and replacement off a long cast iron gutter. Employing the wrong company for roofing work can be pretty disastrous and I'm pleased to say that Aldridges were the right company. John's assessment of the work was thorough as was his estimate and all the subsequent paperwork. The work started on time and had to cope with extremes of weather, from a week of extreme heat to a week of intermittent torrential rain. John employs a permanent workforce and everyone working on site arrived promptly each morning, and they were all very friendly and polite. The site was left tidy every night and completely clear of all waste materials at the end of the job. During the course of the work they decided that some timber sheeting didn't need replacing and the final invoice was reduced to reflect this. Apart from good reviews over a long period of time, one of the other reasons I chose John's company for the job was their membership of the NFRC, the roofing trade association. I'm very happy to be able to recommend Aldridges on this website.

Repairs to guttering on schedule and budget. Sam and his team were at all times very professional, nothing was too much trouble. Danielle in the office was very efficient and both she and John went ‘above & beyond’ I have recommended them to my neighbour.

Second time used this firm and just as happy with the work. They have a great attitude and are very friendly and willing to do a good job. Would highly recommend this company.

Manager arrived promptly to assess the work and clearly explained the problem with the edge roof tiles being incorrectly fitted which resulted in pieces of concrete occasionally falling. Work involved scaffolding being erected and verge tiles and under-cloaks being removed and new tiles and under-cloaks being bedded in with cement. Job carefully and professionally completed with all rubbish removed. Very pleased with work and would recommend trader.

To repair the Garden Room roof at the back of the house (approx 5m wide and 3m deep) by removing and replacing the lead flashing, and also removing and replacing a number of coping stones. This was done very professionally with good quality materials and workmanship, and to a high standard (as far as I could tell). Delays were caused by the inclement weather, but they didn't want to leave the roof in a state where it might leak if/when it rained. They were safety conscious, in that they supplied supporting struts under the roof so they could work over it. They tidied up after each day and left the site clean and tidy when they had finished. I am very pleased with the work done.

Aldridge & Sons are a company that we have used several times before for roofing and similar work. When I asked John Aldridge to recommend a company to undertake the re-pointing I was delighted to learn that Aldridge Sons could do this for us. From estimate to completion of the work, the team worked carefully and were very thorough. The team leader was happy to answer any questions I had as work progressed. The site was always cleaned at the end of the day, and on completion everything was cleaned thoroughly. There were no hidden or additional costs. We have recommended Aldridge and Sons to friends and family who have similarly been impressed with the service and aftercare of this company. We shall continue to recommend them and would use the again, should the need arise.

The team who fixed our roof have done a great job. They were considerate and friendly, and from what we can see everything is solid. They stripped and recovered two flat roofs, and replaced some tiles. Also removed a chimney vent. All done in around 5 days total.

John Aldridge & Sons was recommended by a neighbour and in 2019 carried out remedial work comprising a lead valley replacement to a bay on the house. This went well and the company were asked to quote for major work. A detailed two page high quality specification was submitted by John and followed exactly on site. This became a month long project to replace 3 of the 4 sides of a 123 year old Victorian villa with Cupa H12 slates, new battens and breathable felt to the relevant BS standard and use code 5 lead for chimney flashing, valleys and hips to the front bays - the latter carried out by one of his sons is a work of art. A complexity was the removal and subsequent reinstatement of PV and hot water solar panels by others contractors, but with help and co-operation, everything went well and some beneficial up-engineering was also possible. Scaffolding, a skip and welfare unit were organised by the company and arrived on site in time for a start on the predicted date; thereafter, various pairs of hands turned up regularly every working day before 8am to get on with the job. Luckily, the weather was almost perfect for the 4 week period. The end result has enhanced our family home and provided a top quality roof. Thorough craftsmanship, a polite, friendly workforce, the site kept tidy, attention to detail, good for another 120 years. Passers by have taken note and recommendation conveyed. Thank you John and all your staff.

I would highly recommend this company. John visited our house and quoted for the job back in February. We appreciated that we had to wait a few weeks for the job to be completed as like most good companies they have a lot of work on especially because of lockdown. It is worth waiting for a company that will do a good job and you can trust. John was professional, personable and easy to chat too about the work and followed up the meeting with a written quote. As a woman it is always daunting getting traders in but John filled me with confidence in his company's ability to do the job. Ray and Harry completed the work this week and were a joy to have working for us. Worth the wait. Hard working and personable and left everything tidy and did a good job.

Aldridge and Sons replaced the corrugated plastic roof on our carport along with the flashing. The work was well done and the company are easy to deal with. Recommended.
