G. S. Roofing (London) Limited

I had huge confidence in GS Roofing to remedy a leak coming from a shared chimney stack which had entered our kitchen ceiling. The rain earlier this year was relentless, and I was told by Stephanie from the office that there were a lot of inquiries from callers who were asking for emergency call outs. Despite this, she kindly arranged an early visit. Two levels of the chimney stack were both repaired and new lead flashing replaced. There were some other repairs that were made on the flat roof which were also remedied. I am very satisfied with all these repairs and would be very happy to recommend GS Roofing. A lovely family-run business with professional, highly skilled roofing experts.

I found GS Roofing (London) Ltd. through Which? Trusted Traders. The initial survey was carried out by Gordon Strank, the firm's Director, and I received a written estimate for the works to be done shortly thereafter. After comparing and weighing up prices and reviews against those of other roofers, I accepted their estimate to rebed the gables at the front of my house, replace broken and missing tiles, and repoint all the ridge tiles. The firm has it's own scaffolding and so they were able to erect, and then after completion of the work, dismantle and remove the scaffolding quickly. The roofers were quick and thorough. I am very happy with the finished result - they all took pride in their work, and were helpful and professional and a pleasure to do business with. I noted that the firm's Director, Gordon Strank, kept an overview of the works, with an eye for detail. The firm is insured and is particular about the safety of it's staff, which I applaud. My roof and gables are now wind and watertight and the area has been left clean and tidy. I am very satisfied with their work and would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.

Next door neighbours had common chimney stack removed, but the repair on our side had been very badly done. G. S. Roofing completely replaced the felt, tiles, flashing and gutter. They also cleaned the roof of moss and checked it. An excellent, neat job that was all done in one day. I will definitely use them again.

We called G S Roofing having found them on this site. We needed a slipped tile replaced. They attended for the quote at the agreed time, and gave us a good quote. They then attended and carried out the work efficiently. Cannot recommend them enough. Friendly speedy and reasonably priced service.

I can highly recommend GS Roofing. They removed 2 chimney stacks and carried out repairs to another one and I am very pleased with their work. Gordon gave me very good advice and offered options for the repair work. He is a "hands-on" boss, who goes out of his way to help and I really appreciated this. Stephanie runs the office and she is extremely efficient, communicates well and is a real pleasure to deal with. They are a well-established company and I can confirm they deserve their good reputation. They will give you a fair price, helpful advice, good support and do a thoroughly professional job. Would I use them again - yes definitely!

Gordon Strank was one of several roofers I asked to visit, quote and identify the problems of a roof which was still leaking after a previously recommended trader had installed a new one, but which had failed to remedy the problems. I had various quotes and suggested solutions, but G.S. Roofing were very convincing and quoted a good price. Additionally, Mr Strank was so adamant that his work would rectify the water ingress that I had been suffering for 3 years, that he insisted he wouldn't take payment until I was satisfied the leaks had been addressed. I had previously had 2 other roofers trying to remedy the problems, including the one that wrongly advised getting the new roof (and who then never rectified the situation). I was beginning to despair and water had started to flood into one of the bedrooms. I was also very sceptical that this would ever be satisfactorily resolved. It is now nearly a year later and G.S. Roofing's repairs do indeed seem to have fixed the problems. It has taken me a long time to fully trust that this is the case, after all my previous experiences, but so far so good. A big thank you to Mr Gordon Strank. Work carried out was new leading to the ridge, dressed into the brickwork and building up flaunching to a chimney stack with bedding in clay cowling.

Gordon and his team came in to do some lead work on a gulley and a number of other fixes to stop some leaks. Everything was done absolutely on time and to a high standard and, although both they and we identified other things that needed doing along the way, we were always given the choice as to whether to proceed with them or another firm and given clear guidance on the cost. The estimate was met therefore and there were no surprises so on time and on budget. I mean it as a complement to say Gordon is “old school” - he filled us with confidence in his knowledge and approach and we were reassured that he and his team would do a good job and could be trusted. Stephanie in the office is also a delight to deal with and very efficient - clear, helpful information was given; messages were passed on and responded to in a timely manner; and Stephanie’s approach is a perfect blend of professional yet friendly. I would happily recommend Gordon, Mark, Stephanie and the team.

Gordon Strank, the founder of this company, works still within the family. His daughter runs the office. Which means that you can always get hold of someone and there is no messing about trying to contact a mobile number. We had a box junction between the eaves on the semidetached house, leak during that week of heavy rain, end of January beginning of February. I called four trusted traders, and the only one I could get through to was GS roofing. Messages left with the others elicited no replies. My house is only 20 years old and this is the first time there has been a roof problem. Gordon came when he said he would to look at the roof, bringing a ladder and inspecting it properly. He said he would fit in the repair between bigger jobs. And weather permitting. Gordon came twice more, the second visit was cleaning the roof and then he was rained off. He returned during a period of dry weather the following week and everything was completed within 2 1/2 weeks. I also was given a guarantee for three years. We had one other estimate for this work. It was not quite a ‘like for like’ quote, this roofer wanting to replace the whole structure at a hugely higher price. Gordon was confident that the repair he used for the lead would be weathertight. The roofing company is a member of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC).

My job consisted of a retiled roof, new fascias, soffits, barge boards, guttering & then painting of the house (front & back). Work was carried out to schedule (in the middle of winter) and to budget/quote. All workman were friendly, punctual and tidied up each day. Any questions were promptly answered by the office staff. Highly recommended

We've had long term problems with our guttering, particularly where it met our neighbours. We'd had several attempts at patching it up, but decided that we needed to replace it to sort the situation. We'd used Gordon and GS Roofing before for a problem with our extension roof, so although they weren't the cheapest bid decided to go with it. Your roof is an area it is best to get right! They fitted us in, and came and did the work. When we caught up with Gordon, he let us know that in the end they hadn't had to replace that much of the guttering as it was in great shape. They just put right what was wrong, and came up with a much better solution for the back, where we had had issues with drainage. The bill was about half what we were originally quoted, so in the end it was a great deal too. We got a guarantee for some time to come, which reassures me - after all our past problems - that we can go back to them if something should go wrong. All in all, I've had two great jobs from them.
