FRBS First Roofing and Building Services Ltd

We have a 1970s house with a lot of roof, which was redone about 2 decades ago. We have known from comments made and repairs needed that all was not good, but various tradesmen over the years have just replaced small parts. We asked FRBS to look at part of the roof where tiles were broken. They are a family business and every time one of them went up on the roof they took a video with a voiceover explaining what they were seeing and what the problem was, which they shared with us. That, and the fact that they were prepared to look at the bigger picture, has been a game changer for us. Though the job started as a few tiles and some pointing they were able to show us the need for a more comprehensive overhaul, which was not a surprise. As they have a precept that once they start a job they will finish it, they took it on wholeheartedly and gave us a new roof with beams and joists within a week. Incredible organisation and team work and tidied up every night and at the end. So we had an intensive experience of highly professional people who were friendly and accessible, have done a great job and whom we will use again and would highly recommend.

Very helpful on the phone in the office and came when they said they were going to. Had a small job the most roofers couldn’t be bothered to do. Would highly recommend

James and his team carried out work on roof the day following my call. The gutters and valleys were cleaned out and repaired by Conner and his young assistant. Both were very pleasant and all mess was cleaned after job completed.

Highly recommend this efficient and versatile firm who have a thoroughly impressive work ethic. Extremely pleasant to deal with and reassuring in their honesty about building issues.

We needed the gutters replaced and contacted FRBS. They are a local contractor and provided a quote immediately. The workers arrived within two days to erect the scaffolding. The roofers arrived a few days later and started removing the old gutters. They then installed UPVC fascia and soffit. Later that day they started installing the gutters. The job was completed the next day. The workers did a great job and went the extra mile.

A great team. They were very informative, friendly and quick. The job was for our elderly mother and they kept her and us involved from start to completion. A very professional business and would recommend their work. We were all delighted.

FRBS completed roughcast work on our house to a very high standard we were so pleased we asked them to come back and to roughcast a garden wall to match the house. The work was completed very quickly. The builders cleared all debris and cleaned and cleared their work space. They were friendly and hard working. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend FRBS.

FRBS has just completed a full overlay of my soffit and facia, along with replacing gable end caps for the roof and replacing all gutters and downpipes. Their approach and work has been truly excellent; completed on time, to the quote and technically "right on the money". I have had full discussions with both the FRBS owners and the guys on site on options and progress. Couldn't ask for more. Really pleased with the work and the house looks pretty good. Would recommend them to anyone.

FRBS is an outstanding company in regard to showing respect and ensuring they give you the best deal centered around you and your budget. The tradesmen that completed my work explained every step of the job and gave me choices, to which way I would prefer the finishing touches. They ensured that I was happy and even did some extra work, they really went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction with the work completed. I would definitely use FRBS again and I would also one hundred percent recommend them to friends, family and anyone else who may need building services. I have never before came across such genuine and decent tradesmen. I thank them so much for a wonderful job, stress free.

FRBS replaced most of my roof a few years ago and did a fantastic job. Having had some water ingress I called them again and they came out straight away and sorted the problem (build-up of materials in the valley leading to pooling). As before they were professional and friendly and most of all I trust them (having had many run-in in the past with cowboy traders!). I would thoroughly recommend them
