Reroofing a 1970's house with pitched roof and felted flat roof in winter
Customer Service
Quality

We had several leaks. A local roofer advised us tiles had slipped after the battens below them had rotted away, to get 3 quotes for re-tiling and remarked that no-one was short of work then. FRBS appeared promptly and gave a quotation. He said that once the roof was stripped other repairs might be seen to be needed. We accepted and were told he'd be back to us within 2 weeks with a start date. A day or two later we phoned him as we were worried by wind and rain forecast. The next day he told us he'd rescheduled a job, so we'd be next, timing depended on weather etc,. Three days later we got a phone call around noon to ask if they could come and erect scaffolding, within the hour. Once our roof was stripped, many of our roof timbers turned out to be rotten. We were given a quotation for the extra work, more than doubling the first quote, but after we had seen mobile phone video of what was needed. We also opted for a sloping tiled roof rather than treating the flat roof, when agreeing the extra timber work. The work was carried out well. We were waterproofed when necessary, successfully. Good quality branded materials were used. The work was managed throughout by the director alongside his other jobs. Once we had 3 teams, from separate company vans, working on different tasks. They were all polite, competent, tidy and cheerful, even on a rainy winter day when a team loaded 3 pallet loads of roof tiles up to the top of the scaffolding.

I was very impressed by the work carried out on my neighbours house. I approached James and asked him for a quote to replace the tiled roof, remove the damaged roughcast and re roughcast the entire house. I was also having problems with a leaky flat roof on my garage. James was very polite and provided good advice to solve this problem. We agreed on a price and the work commenced quickly. Despite the poor weather his team of builders carried out a very professional job and I have received great comments from other neighbours who have admired their work. I would have no hesitation recommending this company to other customers.

James and his crew re-rough cast and re-roofed our house and garage in a timely manner with the minimum of inconvenience to us. The work was of a high quality as were the materials and I can only praise the speed, efficiency and attention to detail of the hard working work force. After a thorough examination of the property, a price for the work was agreed and this budget was adhered to throughout the job. We were constantly kept up to date with the job's progress and notified of any possible changes to the schedule. We are only too happy to recommend FRBS Ltd to anyone who is looking for someone to complete this type of project.

We have just had our roof renewed and full house roughcasted by FRBS, Jamie and his team have done a wonderful job. Jamie kept us informed of progress and work included treatment and removal of wet rot in attic, this was done fast and efficiently. The boys worked as a team and were mannerly. The work has been done to a high standard and we are delighted with the finished product. All materials have been removed from site. We were delighted and the work was done to a very high standard and very efficiently. Well done Jamie

FRBS came highly recommended from friends and they didn’t disappoint. James came out quickly and quickly worked out the cause of our issues with a wall at our home. Was able to give a very competitive quotation and started work within a week. His team turned up on time and completed the work in just two days, to a very high standard. All the work was explained to us at every stage and this gave us confidence we were getting value for money and a job well done. I would recommend FRBS to anyone.
