Forest Park Roofing

I contacted Iain again after he had done some previous work for me, fitting Velux windows. This time it was to fit a dormer roof to our upstairs bathroom. Iain quoted quickly and the works were planned in. Iain and his team arrived as scheduled and although some days were lost to severe weather, we were always kept informed as to what would be done and when. I cannot rate highly enough the standard of work from Iain and his team. We are extremely pleased with the finished roof.

On recommendation, we contacted Iain at Forest Park Roofing. We are very pleased we did. We wanted a flat roof extension covered with EDPM and a small extension to our garage roof felted. Iain attended promptly, followed up by a quote that was acceptable. The work was subsequently carried out by Iain and his team to a high standard. They were always punctual and kept us updated. We were delighted with the end result. We have no hesitation in recommending this company.

I contacted Iain at Forest Park Roofing to quote for replacing some very old Velux windows in our roof. Iain visited as arranged and his advice and knowledge of the product was excellent. The windows were fitted as arranged and have made a world of difference to our upstairs bedroom. Everything was left spotlessly clean and it was a real pleasure to have Iain carry the work out. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

The work undertaken by Forest Park Roofing fell into two categories - two Velux blind replacements, and a roofing issue that needs some professional attention. Iain was very accommodating regarding measuring and fitting them to suit our availability, despite being so busy himself. The blinds are up now, and are exactly what we needed. After inspecting the roof, it has transpired that this is a much bigger job, but Iain has explained it all very clearly, and we're confident about him being able to fix it in the next few weeks.

Forest Park Roofing provided an excellent service (pre-sales, delivery and post-sales) and first-class work. They re-roofed the single story extension on our 125 year old house, re-using tiles where they could and dealing with a very shallow-pitched end gable. They were very clear about what they could do and when, and always did what they said they would do. Their roofers were polite and professional, very tidy and the resulting roof quality is excellent. Quotes and invoices were detailed and clear. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Forest Park roofing as an excellent contractor.

Iain very quickly identified and repaired my Velux window at a very reasonable cost. He was very friendly and took time to explain what caused the problem and how to avoid it happening again. He clearly showed his expertise in Velux windows. I will happily use Forest Park Roofing again.

Iain and his team communicated well, carried out the work in a professional and timely manner. While I have not used Forest Park Roofing before, I would not hesitate in using them again. In completing the work they placed equal importance on tidying up and providing photo records of their work along the important guarantees.

I’ve used them before and they’ve always done great work, I wouldn’t want anyone else to do the work. I have complete confidence in them.

Iain and his team removed a traditional felt flat roof, replaced rotten woodwork in a leaking section and fitted a new EPDM sheet roof in its place. They also fitted lead flashing to an adjoining lean-to. Communication on work timing was excellent. Work was completed on time per schedule and detailed written quote. Quality of workmanship was consistently high. I had used Iain and his team before with same experience and have no hesitation in recommending them for any type of roofing work.

Forest Park are an accredited roofing specialist, which means they are trained to supply roof solutions to the current building regulations without needing an architect to design a solution. I am a chartered engineer who’s day job encompasses the care of a local authority built estate and I can assure you that Ian’s technical knowledge of his field is excellent and programming and execution of the work is superb. This is in part due to Ian’s expertise in diagnosing the anticipated problems and budgeting for the replacement material. The work they did improved the integrity of our roof whilst preserving the patina by using sympathetic new material where required. The standard is far better than I usually see in my job.

Forest Park Roofing was recommended by several neighbours who had used Iain and the team in the past. The quote we received was very detailed and the fact that all work was guaranteed gave us peace of mind that we were making a very good choice in Forest Park Roofing. Iain made it clear from the start that it would be several months before work could commence but in the meantime carried out a temporary repair to a flat roof to make sure we were watertight. This before we had actually signed a contract. That spoke volumes to us. The work included the total refurbishment of a pitched tiled roof to the main house, flat roofs to front and rear dormers and upgrade all insulation to meet current industry standards. The new insulation is already paying dividends by reducing our energy consumption! The work was completed on time, on budget and Iain kept us informed of any issues that would resulted in extra costs. Forest Park Roofing take enormous care and pride in the work they do. It’s no exaggeration to say we are absolutely delighted with the work they have carried out for us and we unhesitatingly recommend them.

I have used Forest Park Roofing for a range of jobs over the years. I would not go anywhere else if I could help it. Communication is good. It helps to get a realistic date from them and to be flexible - weather means things have to be rescheduled sometimes. I have total trust in their professionalism. Work is carried out in a no-nonsense fashion with maximum care and they are easy to have around. They worked to the quote which seemed reasonable for the jobs undertaken. I would recommend with no hesitation.

We had to replace part of the roof and repair the chimney. We have been satisfied from the start with the initial quotation to the completion of the job. Professional and friendly. Would recommend without hesitation.

We needed a broken roof tile to be replaced and also, for insurance purposes, a report on the condition of a flat roof. Both were carried out efficiently and on time - despite the company being very busy. They provided good communication and a very comprehensive report, with several useful photographs to illustrate. These were much appreciated by us.

Having lived more than 40 years in the New Forest we have found Forest Park Roofing the best in the business and would never go elsewhere. Last week they spent two days erecting a tower, fixing gutter leaks, replacing slipped tiles, and putting in two new downpipes which had been in place since 1865. Iain and Chris have always delivered on time and within budget, doing a very skilled job, and always offering that little bit extra. They are true professionals in their approach to each problem and are totally reliable. We will certainly continue using this expert team for any roofing challenges in the future. Hugely recommended.

Installation of new Velux Window. Extremely happy with Forest Park Roofing. The initial enquiry, site visit and discussion/explanation of the installation was very clear. The estimate was detailed and comprehensive. They installed a Velux window in a very tricky space expertly, efficiently and quickly. All communications were excellent. A thoroughly professional job and a thoroughly professional company - and everyone was lovely. Highly recommended.

They came to look at the roof and quoted me a very reasonable price and completed the work a few days later Very happy with their work and would use them again. Would highly recommend

We had used Iain’s firm in the past for gutter clearing so I was keen to have them again, especially as our sun room roof had developed a leak. We had had someone deal with it, but the leak came back. I contacted them to do it again (happy to pay again if needed), but they never got back to me. Iain by contrast took a look at the job, felt he had a solution and has said that it if leaks again, they’ll come back. After-service care is so important. They guys who did the job were polite, pleasant and efficient and the invoice matched the quote. Would recommend this firm without hesitation.

We initially requested a quote for a sun tunnel for our kitchen which didn't have much natural light but Iain from Forest Park Roofing suggested fitting a Velux window instead which was a much better idea. The quote was reasonable and the work was carried out in a realistic time frame. Iain and his colleague were extremely professional, work was carried out as requested and we are very happy with the end result. All the hassle of building control was dealt with by Iain, the site was left clean and tidy, and all communication both before and after the work was great. I would have no hesitation in using Forest Park Roofing for future work.

Chris and his colleague was very professional and hard working. It was a very hot day and the job was very tricky but they worked all day with hardly a break. And finished in the time they had quoted. I would highly recommend Chris and Iain for any roof problems and would definitely use them again.

They removed all tiles, removed degraded under-felt and battens and upgraded insulation to accessible roof areas throughout, and upgraded five Velux roof-lights which had not been properly installed originally. They also fully refurbished the roof and lead-work to a difficult dormer window that had become a favoured nest site for birds. The quotation was competitive but not the lowest and was chosen after recommendation and also confidence in my first meeting with Iain. As an ex CEO of a major construction company I was looking for certainty in outcome on quality, time and budget in that order, and Iain gave me that confidence on first meeting and did not let me down. The work was completed on time and to budget and included some extra works I requested which were completed within the original timespan and at a sensible price. I thought they would be good but they exceeded my expectations by keeping me well informed of progress, weather difficulties and material matters and being very nice people to do business with. Their approach to site cleanliness was excellent. They also impressed me by investing in young people through a roof apprenticeship scheme. All the team were very polite and considerate. Roof work is technically more challenging than people would realise or expect and needs consistent attention to detail by the installers. Iain's team soon demonstrated that I need not worry about any lack of attention to detail in their work. Very impressive.

The job was to replace the battens and tiles on a house over one hundred years old, stripping insulation from the tiles and replacing loft flooring and increasing insulation. I have used Forest Park Roofing before and know of their well deserved reputation. The specification was altered somewhat by me as work progressed. The final price matched the original estimate given various uncertainties in an old house. Our property is in a prominent position in an area used by dog walkers. They and our neighbours, one of whom is a builder, have all commented as to how lovely our new roof looks. From my point of view the whole rather complicated job from planning through to tidying up, cleaning the fascia and picking tile fragments from the lawn was very carefully done. Iain steered me through the choice of tiles and method of fixing, treated the woodworm and strengthened rafters where necessary. The tiles that were reusable were sold on to a reclamation yard and an appropriate sum credited to me. The finish around the outer tiles fits in nicely with a house over a hundred years old. Iain & Chris Bowers at Forest Park Roofing left nothing to chance and left us with a lovely roof with which we are delighted. I can strongly recommend them.

We needed our Velux solar windows mended. It was a small job and we were happy to fit in with his schedule. Iain called in to see us within a week. He explained what was required, gave us the quote and a fortnight later returned to complete the work 4m up in the apex of the room. We would certainly use him again.

Iain and his crew were professional and efficient. His quote was thorough and competitive and the guarantee was reassuring. His work was superb. Clean and polite they worked tirelessly in hot conditions. Explaining his methods and providing lots of evidence of his progress we were really pleased with the result. The test came this week when heavy rain and strong winds would usually have us looking at the ceiling and waiting for leaks but this repair was spot on. No leaks and a piece of mind going forward that enabled us to finally relax during bad storms. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone. To Iain and his team a very big thank you. Well done.

Really happy with the whole experience of dealing with Forest Park Roofing. Initial contact was made via email, which was promptly replied too. Site visit followed and questions regarding installation well answered. Competitive estimate followed which we accepted and schedule agreed. Any contact, whether email, message or calls were answered timely and communications throughout were excellent. The job itself was executed efficiently and professionally according to plan. No ‘extras’ were found during the installation and job was completed to initial estimate. We are really happy with the installation of the new Velux’s. All scrap materials were removed and the everything left tidy. I would have no hesitation with recommending Forest Park Roofing and cannot fault any of the service they provided.
