Repairs to chimneys & roof
Whilst carrying out other work we noticed water ingress around our chimneys and roofs nearby. At short notice, to make use of scaffolding already in place, D Harrison Home Improvements re-pointed chimneys, replaced flashings and replaced missing and misplaced tiles on the roof. This was all carried out professionally, within a short time frame and at a reasonable cost. There have been no problems with water ingress since.

Very pleased with my new roof
Brilliant communication and reliable. Everyone, from the office lady Chantelle, the owner David and the team on site were all very friendly and efficient. I was happy with the whole project from start to finish. It was no hassle having my solar panels removed and put back either. This was something that had been worrying me! Thanks for your work.

Roof work on a 400 year old three storey grade 2 listed property in a busy high street was never going to be easy! As more and more problems emerged during the work each one was tackled efficiently by David, Loukas and the team at Harrison Home Improvements. I was kept in touch throughout the job and many discussions took place. I would definitely recommend this Company.

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr Henderson and his team for the efficient way in which they replaced the tarmac on my driveway. From start to completion every aspect of the work was explained and carried out to the highest standard even replacing damaged drains which had caused the drive to flood . Mr Henderson checked daily on the job and at times helped his team. The team were always polite and their work was of a very high standard and carried out with goodwill on all parts. When completed I was very impressed with the finished job which was finished on time. Thankyou again .

Roof Re-tiling

We are delighted with the new roof on our bungalow. David and all those involved acted very professionally throughout. The level of communication and advice provided was excellent. Every question was comprehensively answered – no query was too much trouble. The project was completed on-time and on budget. Lucasz, Harry and Bobby worked diligently and tidied up very well at the end. They were unfailingly polite, reliable and hard working. The scaffolders were also excellent. The new roof comes with an insurance-backed warranty. David is very knowledgeable, approachable and exhibits excellent customer relations. Over the weekend in the middle of the project, we were away from the property. A major storm occurred and David and Lucasz checked our property twice each day just to be sure all was well. We are extremely grateful for that. David undertook the reconfiguration of our chimneys some years earlier and so we were familiar with his high standard of workmanship.

Re-pointing of rear of house and guttering/wall pointing repairs
Really pleased with the level of communication from David from start to finish re: pointing at the rear of my middle terraced home in September. I also had some repairs made to the guttering and walls in the garden. The scaffolders, Marvin and his lads had to scaffold over my new conservatory - but did a great job. Two of David's crews did the pointing and waterproof finish, and all the guys worked hard and were polite and reliable. David made sure to pop in a few times to check the work was good and progressing to specification. Thank you, David - an absolute gentleman, who made the job 'stress-free'.

We have used D Harrison Home Improvements before and very satisfied with the work. However on this occasion we wanted a sky light installed but we were persuaded that a sun tunnel would fit our requirements. But the result is not the outcome we expected. But the firm kept us informed all the time about progress. We did have a problem with the electrician but Dave sorted that problem out for us.

I picked Harrison's as I had seen their work elsewhere and I am pleased I did. The work was completed quickly and efficiently with the minimum inconvenience to me. The men were polite and friendly and very helpful and informative, Including the scaffolders, who helped by moving all my garden ornaments for me. I had a couple of small concerns after the work but Lukasz was happy to come and address those for me. I was very pleasantly surprised that Harrison's provide a free window cleaning service after completion of the works. I had already cleaned my windows so they will clean them for me next time they need doing. The roof work is to a high standard and there is a proper warranty, and the ongoing customer service is excellent so I feel the fairly substantial cost is justified and I am happy with my choice.

Roof Replacement

We had a complete Roof replacement in December 23 running into January 24. This included complete Felt Replacement, Complete now Roof and repairs to 4 Dormas. David did a review of the old roof by Drone, which showed up a lot of the problems which we inherited from a previous owner. This was done very much to our satisfaction and on time, thanks to the Roofers Harry and Lukasz. This has certainly stopped the leaks which were starting to occur at an alarming rate. Would recommend to anyone that needs roof repairs or replacement as happened in our case. He has also come and checked out what we thought were problems but this was solely down to the drying out process and no problems have come up since.

When David gave us a quote, he listened to what we wanted, and we found him easy to talk to and we understood what he was talking about and if not, he would explain or demonstrate in a way that we could understand. David and his team started work in March 2023 to put up a two-storey extension. The project was not straight forward as we had previously had rouge builders who left the job unsafe and unfinished and the whole lot had to be taken down to foundation level, this left our confidence in builders at an all-time low and not sure who to trust. David and his team where polite and courteous towards us and worked hard when on site. They always turned up when we were told and at a good time. Their work is always to a high standard, and they take pride in what they are doing. Communication has been exceptional between David, his team, and us with everyone communicating clearly. Along the way, they met lots of challenging problems which would send us into a panic, but David would turn up to talk to us and always had solutions and immediately put us at ease. This meant such a lot to us and we began to feel more relaxed and could see a way forward. David has a wonderful team and has good contacts with other trades, and they all work well together in a timely manner to get the project completed. The team always cleared up after them and rubble and rubbish were taken away in regular intervals. They have regained our confidence in builders and would highly recommend in using again

D. Harrison Home Improvements replaced our previously leaking flat garage roof with a superior EDPM rubber roof system. We're very happy with the work and the outcome, a completely dry garage. Everything was very well explained to us and the work was carried out efficiently and effectively. We've since used them for some other tricky jobs and these have been very expertly done too, with good outcomes. Thank you

We're very pleased with the work that David and his team have done for us (re-rendering to deal with damp and rebuilding a covered area at the rear of our property). From the start David turned up when he said he would and his advice was excellent. His ideas were much better than ours! The quote was detailed and when some of the detail was changed by us a new quote was quickly issued. Due to the terrible wet and windy weather the work took longer than planned but good communication meant we knew what was happening. Everyone who worked on site was polite, cheerful and pleasant to have around. The finished result is much better than we had hoped for. Highly recommended.

David came round to give me a quote at the time we had arranged. Instead of getting ladders out to do an inspection, a drone was used. I was able to see first hand about the problems with the roof. Man with ladder can tell you stories. Lukasz and Harry came round on a Monday and worked away. Roof work was completed by Thursday. Brilliant workers, hardly stopped, and it was boiling hot. Offered them drinks ,but only took the water. After using the loo, no mess was left. Plasterers arrived prompt on Saturday 8am, finished by 1pm again a brilliant job done. both lots of workers kept me informed what was going on, and tidied up before they left. Well done to David and his team

From initial contact to the finished job this firm were professional, responsive, and efficient. We had a small flat roof over a bay window which had become worn and leaking water into the ceiling below. I tried contacting various other roofing companies, most didn't respond to my enquiry. This firm responded and visited the site in a timely manner, inspected the roof (using a drone to take photos). After the quote we arranged a day for the work to be completed and was carried out as per arranged. Can highly recommend. Thanks.
