G. S. Roofing (London) Limited

Gordon Strange of G.S. Roofing is a good, honest roofer. He called to estimate for additional insulation to add to our loft. He reported that we had sufficient, which was honest of him. He has just replaced broken tiles in our roof and checked it over. I recommend him.

There were three jobs to do; for one the firm did not have the right skills and helpfully referred me on to others who could help. The repair to a wooden window frame was completed promptly and well. My first enquiry to G S Roofing had been to clear roof tiles and guttering: this was a tricky job on two roofs and was done effectively, and in good time, despite poor weather.

Very happy with GS Roofing. We had them in to do a new slate bathroom roof and a new lead box gutter. Everyone involved was polite, professional and considerate and they worked hard every day to get the work done. In contrast to other companies they were great at communicating, and we appreciated the time they took to explain the works step-by-step as they progressed. There were no hidden costs and the job was completed for the money agreed. They were also happy to add extra jobs onto their sheet which we had not initially discussed. The company is well organised, meaning all questions are dealt with efficiently and quickly without you having to wait for days for an answer. The finished work looks neat and sturdy and they were happy to put right any small issues later on. We felt our house was in safe hands, and we want to say a big thank you to everyone who worked on it.

I was worried that my flat roof may need some work following comments by a previous builder a few years ago. I called G&S roofing and they were prompt and punctual in coming over to asses the roof. Once up there, I was told that my roof had no problems and it wasn’t necessary to do any work on it. I was both relieved and very surprised with how straight up and fair they were. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants an honest roofer and will certainly use them when the time comes to fix it.

We used GS Roofing to repair a leaking box gutter in our roof. Previously 2/3 companies had attempted to repair it but after doing botch jobs the roof was still leaking into our upstairs flat. Gordon and the team were very confident in their ability to stop the leak by replacing to box gutter, and so far so good! The work also comes with a guarantee which is great. A lady called Stephanie deals with the invoices and booking of the date for the work, she was really lovely, friendly and always replied very quickly. I'd definitely use them again and would recommend them to others.

I had a number of different roofing jobs, some of them quite fiddly (e.g. dismantling the precarious top of a chimney stack) and one of them requiring some diagnostic testing and assessment (unexpected damp in a party wall). Other roofers had given me assessments that seemed motivated by maximising the expense of the work to be done rather than by an honest view of what needed to be done. G.S.Roofing London Ltd gave me a clear and understandable view, a good price and a good window for doing the work. In the event, the team turned up on the days specified and worked efficiently and flexibly on the roofing and chimney tasks, picking up a couple of additional tasks on the way. They communicated well with me as the owner and with other workers (painters) doing work on the site. They were friendly and good humoured, working without complaint in very hot, humid and sunny conditions. They cleared up really well around themselves. The quality of the work is very high. It was completed in very good time. A more than satisfactory experience. I recommend them and will use them again in the future.

Contacting this firm, following an accident that left a gaping hole in a roof, resulted in prompt attendance to survey the problem, an offer of temporary covering, & two estimates: one merely to make good the hole, & the other (at my request) to bring the Victorian roof to better-than-contemporary insulation standards but within a conservation framework. Workmen arrived a fortnight later – in pouring rain – to erect scaffolding & to replace a previously-broken draincover. Day 2, a team arrived (in sunshine) & completed the major part of the work. During Day 3, I watched the meticulous workmanship in replacing the leadwork, & Day 4, a downpipe & another damaged draincover were replaced & the scaffolding removed. The workmanship is first class; the men cheerful, polite & respectful; & I have a 10-year guarantee from a firm in which I have complete trust.

We have a complex roof which had several unrelated problems. The team did a good job from start to finish. Came promptly to estimate, then swiftly to start work when we gave the go ahead. The work seems to have been done to a high standard. Left the site clean and tidy. I was particularly impressed with the care they took to identify and fix a problem that three other roofers have failed to fix.

GS Roofing had previously provided a good service in reroofing the main roof so we had no doubts about asking them to do a flat roof repair and some complicated chimney repointing. The work was fairly urgent and although Christmas was close a start date of 2-3 weeks away was promised. This was kept and the work finished within the estimated four days, just before Christmas. This was much appreciated. Gordon came out to discuss the work beforehand and we were kept informed of progress. The invoice was exactly as estimated without even a charge for a roof board that was needed although was separately costed in the quotation. Overall, a very good job was done, within the time and cost agreed. Thanks very much to GS Roofing Ltd!

Gordon Strank inspected the roof which was leaking, identified the problem and discussed what was needed. He avoided me having unnecessary work carried out. Before putting the scaffolding up they were careful to protect my neighbour's side roof and side windows. The work was then carried out very efficiently and the scaffolding taken down on the same day the work was completed. Throughout the process Stephanie in the office answered any queries I had very quickly and kept me informed of when the scaffolding and the work was to be carried out. They took photos of the completed work which were then emailed to me. Great service by all involved.
