I have had problems with my garage and found I need a new roof. I looked on Google and found this company. Well I'm not a person to complement however I must say this company needs to be fast friendly company staff know what they are talking about and the fitters are so good they explain and tidy up after themselves and nothing is to much trouble. A Big Thank You

Double garage roof replaced on time and at a reasonable price. The installation team were both fast and efficient with absolutely no mess left behind. Would certainly recommend

Initially, I thought my roof replacement had gone well. However, after about 18 months, I noticed that the supporting beams that the new roof is attached to were completely rotten. One of these was very wet and there was also water running down the walls around the same area. In addition, I’d paid for gutters to be put up and these were not attached correctly - it appears that roof fixings were used - and further, the gutter had completely detached at one end and water was running down the wall. Compton were very reluctant to come out and tried to wash their hands of it, but did eventually, where it was agreed the wood was rotten. The wet wood was due to the first team failing to put barrier tape up. The office quoted £180 to replace the beams. They claimed to only be charging for the timbers themselves, yet googling roof timber, a 3m length is only £9. They weren’t budging from this so I felt I had to pay it to get it done. They were clearly recouping the cost of the entire return visit, although it wasn’t my fault this was necessary. It would have been a simple job had it been done first time round. And also the work was supposedly under warranty. The beams were apparently rotten before, but whereas I could live with them then I couldn't now as they were so much worse. I’ve had no apology for the bad job that was done first time round. I’ve had to clear my garage twice, had all the inconvenience of return visits and so on and have paid extra for the privilege.

Replaced roof of a 1994 Compton garage fibre cement with steel plastisol box sheets and bargeboards. Service from start to finish (initial enquiry; quotation; handling of subsequent queries; completion) was friendly and very efficient. The fitting team, who are directly employed, not sub-contractors, arrived on time and their work was excellent. They handled a few snags along the way as well as placing the sheet overlaps in the direction requested and fitted a new water butt diverter that we supplied. As weather had been forecast to rain they also removed the tarpaulin tied over the roof on the day; we were not required to remove this in advance. They also cleaned everything away, sweeping inside and outside. The work on the garage which is an apex 10' by 24.5' was completed in 3½ hours and for the price quoted. A 5 year guarantee is provided. Also the 25% deposit was protected through IWA (Independent Warranty Association). The certificate is given direct by IWA, not via Compton Spares

We had a few quotes for removing our old garage roof and door with a replacement one.. compton was one of the quotes and it was the best quote we had .from our original phone call to final installation there service has been excellent.. had our garage roof and door replaced by them today the 2 workmen were very friendly and nothing was to much.

From my first 'phone call to this company to the completion of the replacement of a garage roof and the disposal of the old asbestos roof the experience was very fulfilling.

Compton Spares throughout kept me up to date and clear about charges and times. Their men came promptly on time and carried out the works on due dates without fuss and left the site tidy. There were no hidden charges or extras. The quality of their materials were as they described. I expected nuts and bolts to secure the roof to the existing framework but they used self-drilling screws which I hope will be as secure. My only real disappointment was a very short lead from the motor unit for the garage door, which they linked to the power socket using one of my extension leads without permission, found in the garage, which was attached in a way an amateur would have found shameful; wires hanging loosely, even dangerously. I hope this gets back to Compton Spares for a lesson to be learned. All their good work doesn't need to be judged on one adverse criticism.

Sharon and Laura are the receptionists, well spoken and well trained. Upon receiving measurements I told them which type of roof I wanted and I was given the agreement. I paid a deposit of twenty percent of the price, as per agreement. I was given a date of 31st March 2022 for replacement of roofs. Two technicians, Mathew and Garry, arrived at Leicester, reversed their truck, started the job and by around four pm the replacement of the rooves were complete. So fast. Payment was done and they left. Surrounding area was all well swept. I would mark the boys style of job and behaviour ten out of ten. Brilliant. Well done.

Compton Spares replaced my aged garage roof with no complications, misunderstandings or pushy sales patter. The guys arrived on schedule and did the work in good time, as specified, without fuss or query. The anti-drip fabric on the roof sheets and eaves fillers looks like they are going to solve some problems we had although this is yet to be tested. I contacted this company because I found (online) that they have a good name and they were cheaper than another company that are reportedly close to their standard.
