CHIMNEY REPAIR
Our solar panels had not been generating first thing in the morning. The installer had said that this was because of damp near the apparatus and recommended that we contact a roofer. After receiving one estimate which seemed off the scale, and which would have involved investigative work, we decided to go for a second one. Craig knew what the problem was straight away and was able to address it well. He was reliable and both a good communicator and project manager. He was well organised and contacted other workmen who needed to carry out component parts of the rebuild. He answered WhatsApp messages promptly and kept us informed at each stage of the work. He knew his stuff and did not rip us off. He worked hard on his part of the job and was friendly and courteous at all times and a pleasure to deal with. The completed work looks good and came in on budget. We can recommend Craig for chimney rebuilds. Our solar panels are now working fine from sunrise, as the damp has been eliminated.

Extremely competent and friendly.
Craig has carried out a number of roof repairs for us in the last 12 months. His knowledge is superb and his work is highly professional and will last for years. His prices are very reasonable, particularly considering the danger and difficult working conditions. He’s always busy but he still fitted in our urgent leak repair. He’s reliable and trustworthy and a really nice chap to have around. We can’t fault him or his work - truly excellent in everything. Thanks, Craig!

Repairs to Ridge and Gable Ends
Craig undertook work to repair the ridge and both gable end tiles on our house. He came out to view the property and provided guidance on the options available to us. We elected to have dry systems installed, as per his advice. Craig provided a comprehensive estimate within agreed timescales. He then arranged for scaffolding to be erected and advised us of the intended start date for the work (subject to weather). He arrived on the agreed dates and kept us fully informed of progress and estimated completion dates for the work. Throughout the work he: Was polite, friendly and helpful Was professional and extremely knowledgeable Was efficient and managed his time well Answered any questions we had about the work Kept us updated on any issues or additional items required (such as replacement tiles etc.) Was considerate of us and our property (even coming out on a weekend to check the site following a storm) We are very happy with the completed work and have asked him to undertake some additional work. We would have no hesitation in recommending Craig.

Excellent work on our Kitchen extension roof , starting with emergency repairs and then a full relaying of roof and fixing various defects as found
Craig initially did urgent repairs to our kitchen roof but after his investigations went through our options and we agreed on a full relaying of the roof and fixing various defects when initially laid. Craig stuck to his original quote and clearly explained extra work and costs as and when they arose. We are grateful for his care expertise and clear explanations .we strongly recommend him for roofing and related leadwork.

Simply could not be better
CMH is a genuine craftsman of the old mold. He has just finished the leadwork on two chimneys that we had to have rebuilt and the result is brilliant. He has been a roofer for 35 years and has immense experience. He takes infinite care and his skill is unmatched in this part of the country. He is always ready with excellent advice and will do his best to save you money if he possibly can. We are lucky to be able to call on him.

Reliable, good quality and reasonable prices
Craig is fantastic and a highly skilled roofer. the work he completed for us can't be faulted and he even agreed to use tiles we had to save us some money. An expert in his field and highly knowledgeable about any challenge presented...and our roof gave us a few! His quotation was fairly priced and the extras we needed we very reasonable for the work done. In short we would highly recommend CMH for any roof work.

Roof Repair
Craig Haskins of CMH carried out repairs to the leak in our roof and install a deterrent to seagulls nesting there. He kept us updated on the progress of the work and what was being done during the work. He invoiced us the same amount as was originally agreed and there were no hidden extras. We were very please with the work carried out. He also carried out some repairs adjacent the works not included in the original quote at no extra cost.

Leadwork around rebuilt chimneys on an old house
Craig undertook leadwork around two chimneys that had needed to be rebuilt. The house is extremely old and the work was not straightforward. However Craig completed it to an extremely high standard. Along the way he carried out unexpected repairs and provided expert advice. He is clearly a highly competent roofer who is sympathetic to older properties. He knows what is the right thing to do and what is not. The chimneys were rebuilt to a very high standard with imperial bricks and his leadwork has matched this work perfectly. Overall the result is a work of art and we have a dry house now. His work necessarily took place in a number of individual projects and on each occasion he left the site immaculately clean and tidy. Thoroughly recommend.

Superb chimney removal
CMH has recently removed a crumbling and leaky chimney stack for me. Craig managed to source rare 90-year-old replacement clay tiles to fill the hole left by the chimney. The work was doubly difficult due to the fragile tiles surrounding the chimney and having to work around a solar panel framework. Craig and his assistant were very neat and tidy (and practised very good COVID precautions) and I was amazed how little mortar dust found its way into the loft. The finished job is perfect - you would never know a chimney had ever been there! I would have no hesitation in using CMH again and would fully recommend them.

Work carried out to remedy leak on porch roof. Three ridge tiles removed and lead lining put underneath to rectify poor workmanship at time of house being built. Craig carried out the work professionally and gave full explanation of what was being done.

Our shed roof needed replacing and we chose CMH to carry out the work as he had already done a similar job for us and had done an excellent job at a reasonable price.
