Very professional and contentious tradesman.
Dave Sutton was recommended to us by a neighbour after we had had cowboy roofers do very poor works on our property roof. From start to finish, we found Dave to be a very diligent and conscientious person, who was proud of the high standard work he provided. His quote for the works to be undertaken was very fair and accurate. Dave is a very friendly and likeable person, willing to go the extra mile, which we very much appreciated. I would very much recommend D Sutton Roofing for any roofing projects and in fact have already passed his details onto numerous friends and neighbours in the area. Thanks for your service Dave.

Repair to Brickwork and repointing
I saw work that Dave Sutton completed 2 years ago on my neighbours roof and brick wall and I was impressed that it looked so good. I contacted Dave, he retuned calls, he came to look and see what was involved, sent an estimate for the cost and then he turned up when he said. It was messy and dusty job and every night he cleaned up. Even my neighbours complement the work done and admired his craftsmanship. He brought mobile scaffolding and dismantled it each night so that we could gain access to our house.

Great Service and Quality Workmanship
Following heavy snow, the guttering on my house collapsed. It is a two storey cottage with a slate roof. I contacted Dave - who I have used several times previously - to see if he could help resolve the issue. Dave responded within a few hours, and visited my property within 24 hours. He made the site safe during this preliminary visit - the guttering was hanging by one screw. Dave provided an acceptable quote immediately following his visit, and two days later (after the weekend) he came back to the house to erect scaffolding and to start the repair work; he finished the next day (Tuesday) and by early afternoon the job was complete and the scaffolding removed. Dave did a great job, and also sorted out another issue that became apparent once he had commenced work. The job was completed to a very high standard, and quickly without fuss. I am really pleased with the work, and have already recommended Dave to friends, and I highly recommend him through this review.

Highly skilled, trustworthy and dilligent professional service
Dave came highly recommended from a friend . After many years and three roof replacements, Dave was able to provide us with a thorough diagnosis of our ongoing water ingress problems and a clear plan of action that focused on rebuilding an venting our chimney stacks. The work was completed to a high standard Dave documented all his work for us to review; arrived on time, kept us informed on progress and flagged up any additional work needed ahead of undertaking it. He is a safe pair of hands and incredibly knowledgable, very happy to use his services again and recommend him to others.

Repointing chimney
I was given Dave to call by a neighbour after several other more expensive quotes and his work was excellent, he discussed all the requirements in full so I understood what was needed and worked very hard with no unnecessary stops , he found a few extra things that needed doing which he included in the agreed price . I am on my own and felt comfortable that he was providing an honest and trustworthy service

Re-pointing and venting of traditional chimney stacks.
Having collected several quotes from different tradesmen, Dave showed a good knowledge of his craft and listened to our desired outcome in the job. Namely to keep the character of the house and fix the issues with the aging chimney stacks. This was achieved through re-pointing of the stacks and venting of unused chimneys. Dave was professional in his approach, meticulous in the detail of his work and very friendly to engage with. He kept a very tidy worksite and was very competitive in pricing for the job he was offering. I will have no hesitation to engage Dave for future work if the need arises or to recommend him to friends seeking his skills. Clean, efficient, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

An experienced trader with an eye for detail.
We were extremely happy with the work carried out on our roof. Dave Sutton is very experienced and we were impressed with his attention to detail. Clearly, he takes a lot of pride in his work and was proactive in pointing out issues which went beyond his initial brief. The end result exceeded our expectations.

Excellent Roofer
Having been let down by several roofers, and now very concerned about my leaking roof, I ‘ambushed’ Mr Sutton when he came to work on a neighbour’s property. He was prompt, reliable and efficient throughout. He did a temporary repair almost immediately, and gave me a fair and reasonable quote for a permanent fix that I accepted. This work was carried out the following week, and my roof is now watertight again. I have already recommended Mr Sutton to several others.

Problem Solved
Dave Sutton Roofing was recommended by a friend, so I asked Dave to come and have a look at an on-going problem with my roof. Dave came out and had a look and advised me what the problem was and what needed doing and before he left he made a temporary repair for me. He gave me a cost that I excepted and returned on the agreed time and date to do the repair. Before he left he made sure I was happy with the work and left the area of work clean and tidy. Completely satisfied with the Quality of his work. RS Thingwall.

Quality work at a good price.
After re-roofing my house, I'd recommend Dave Sutton for any roof work that you need doing. Straightforward, easy to understand, and competitive quote that was stuck to. All options (type of tiles, chimney repairs, fascias, gutters, etc.) discussed beforehand. Job completed to a high standard and tidied up properly afterwards. Follow up visit to check that all is well with the work done. Nothing was too much trouble for these hard working men. Highly recommended.

Excellent Work
David recently replaced a large flat roof covering my double garage and porch. This involved complete removal of the old felt and the old boards and their replacement with new ones. The job was completed in good time and the workmanship was excellent. I was especially pleased with the neat appearance of the edges and flashing. Dave was also very conscientious in ensuring no mess was left at the end of each day. Altogether a very professional service with which I was completely satisfied.

Very good work
Dave came and looked at my roof some time ago. I had had a few roofers to look at it who all told me I needed a new roof which I doubted. When Dave came he agreed to repair the part that had been the problem. This proved to be more difficult than first thought as many years previously we had a sealant put inside. Dave dealt with it admirably and I haven't had a problem there since. I have used Dave for further repairs and always find him prompt, helpful and most of all efficient. I would most certainly recommend him .

Extremely Good - sorted problems
David came to assist us with leaks to our roof that was only installed 7 years ago and had never been right. He made repeat visits - not charging us for all his time and transport as he really did care and wanted to sort it for us. He sourced (not easy) and replaced broken tiles and we know he is on hand if we need his expert help again.

Saw how well Dave was doing with positive reviews, so we chose him to sort a long running problem with a leak in the garage. A number of other tried and failed. Dave got it right first time and very quick even though he was really busy. Thank you.

David came round and diagnosed correctly a problem with the chimney. The chimney breast was wet. David put in a vent, hacked off the rendering, and replaced the chimney pots and haunching. David even painted it for me even though this is not his fault like his manner and communication is very good. Keeps you in the loop.

Dave has just finished a complete re-roof of my 1930's semi. He gave me a choice of two types of tile and a fair estimate. They completed the job in two weeks and cleared up nicely afterwards. Once the scaffolding was down he came back to check and repair a couple of minor problems. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

At short notice Mr Sutton visited the house, inspected the chimney stack, and described the work that was needed, and gave me a quote for the job. This I accepted and he came the next day. The job was quickly completed and paid for. They also ensured that where they had worked was cleaned and left tidy. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Mr. Sutton seems very knowledgeable and experienced. He makes same day estimates. When we had heavy winds and rain, he came out very quickly to repair my roof and replace damaged and missing tiles. His work and work area are neat and tidy. His fees are very reasonable. He goes out of his way to help. I would not only use his services again, but would highly recommend him.

Dave recently repaired my roof which was leaking around a chimney stack. He explained the problem clearly and gave me a reasonable estimate (confirmed using on-line estimators). Within 24 hours, he made a temporary watertight repair and returned within two weeks to complete the job, including fitting a new prefabricated back gutter and all lead soakers and flashings. He also re-bedded some hip tiles and made good defective edging. He gave me an assessment and reassuring advice about the general state of the roof. He was professional and tidy throughout. It looks an excellent job.

Dave Sutton was one of three roofing contractors I contacted regarding the removal and replacement of the Arris hip tiles to the front elevation of our house. We had previously had problems with the hip tiles being blown off in stormy weather and other roofing contractors had simply replaced the missing tiles fixing them with only a sand/cement mix which was ineffective. Dave stripped off all the hip tiles and after cleaning, replaced them on a bedding of a sand/cement mix along with new nails. This work was carried out very professionally, taking into account current health and safety regulations. Gutters were cleaned and all debris removed from the site. We are very pleased with the end result and strongly recommend Dave for his roofing work.

From the 15th to the 17th of August last year, Mr Sutton carried out moss removal and general repairs on my bungalow roof. This was a task that the majority of the roofing firms that I contacted either showed no real interest in doing or wanted to replace the entire roof. Mr Sutton diligently carried out all my required work including waste removal to my complete satisfaction. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Sutton for any roofing work of this nature.

David carried out a re-roof of the main back and front elevations of our large victorian terrace house in the summer of 2011. He gave us good, clear advice about material costs and the price of the whole job. He was polite, friendly, reliable and very professional. He advised on insulation and didnt try to point us in any particular direction on products. He was flexible when we added on extra bits to the job like installing flue liners and putting up a new aerial. The job was fairly priced and we are very pleased with the completed roof and the service.
