About

G.S Roofing is a family run business established in 1975 by the current owner and Managing Director Mr Gordon Strank. G.S Roofing as been operating from our current office and yard since 1985 and became a member of The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) in 1988.

Having been based in Wimbledon for the past 30 years, many of our customers have been through recommendations, and there are few roads left in the area where our roofing work cannot be seen.

We are willing to take on work ranging from small repairs to complete new roofs; Flat, Tiled, or Slated, and to ensure piece of mind. (An insurance backed guarantee is also available for new roofs.)

We have a team of reliable and experienced employees who carry out all our work including scaffolding. Many have been with the company for a number of years.

Our office is open 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and our friendly staff will be happy to help with any enquiries, or to book a free 'no obligation' estimate.

In 2013 GS Roofing was very busy so Gordon Strank himself arrived and completed an excellent repair on the top front dormer window. In 2019 a storm had damaged the guttering of the back addition to the house and the ageing roof had a lot of moss to be removed. Unnoticed by me, but identified by Mark Bennett, the party wall cement was also damaged and flaking. In addition the cover on an air vent was missing. He & Stephanie organised the quotation and its subsequent amendments - all completed amicably and helpfully. I scheduled the scaffolding with Mark for joint use (not at the same time) with a double glazing company to install a new window (any scaffolding by the glazing company was not allowed to be shared). Colin, assisted by a younger Mark and Jack, set up the 2-story high scaffold and the planned work completed on time and checked personally by Gordon Strank. The window was fitted the following day. The day after that, the scaffolding was taken down by Colin & the younger Mark. Thus, having visited the top of the scaffold 6 or 7 times, the project was a great success with all planned work finished to my complete satisfaction & there was no consequential damage. Since I am not an experienced purchaser of roofing works I felt a minor possibility of having paid a slight premium (hence the 4* on value and perhaps I am being a little unfair) but my trust in GS was proven and I have no cost complaint to make! My sincere thanks to all the team!

Cancelled the day he was due to start
Work booked in for a couple of weeks following a visit and quote for a repair to a GRP balcony. I confirmed the start time on the previous working day with the owner directly and then he never turned up. When I called to find out what was happening someone in the office said "he has decided that he doesnt want to do the job" and "he is not available to talk to you". He never called back to explain! Fortunately I managed to find someone else to do the work a couple of weeks later - turned out GS Strank were going to use the wrong product and were quoting twice as much!

Unfortunately on this occasion we were unable to meet the customers requests, due to our working procedures and practices. (This was clearly explained and our apologies were expressed by our Manager when he called the customer. No deposit was paid, No invoices where sent, and NO work was started)

I have used GS Roofing three times in recent years to do work on the roof of our Victorian house. They have re-rendered parapet walls, rebedded ridge and hip tiles, and removed moss. On each occasion they responded promptly to provide advice, written quotes and subsequently carry out the work required. They provide their own scaffolding, which I believe is advantageous, and clear up after themselves. They turned up when they said they would, and informed me of any delays due to bad weather, etc. All their staff, including scaffolders/roofers and those in the office are helpful, polite, friendly and pleasant to deal with. Their charges seem reasonable, and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

G. S. Roofing did an excellent job on some guttering that needed replacing with a better design. Gordon met me to assess the work and discuss various options. His experience and knowledge were very evident. The quote was produced quickly and the company’s customer service was superb as they made every effort to accommodate my particular requirements and circumstances. The office staff were fabulous, very helpful, considerate and very efficient. The work was completed on time and as specified to a high standard.

We had our main Roof retiled about 10/11 years ago by G S Roofing and am I glad I kept the card they gave me. Our small roof that is over our lounge window started to leek. Contacted G S Roofing on Monday, Mark from GS came on Tuesday to see what work needed doing. Wednesday 0815 team turned up, up went the scaffold. Mark returned with the type of roof tiles we wanted. Went shopping on Friday when we returned they had finished, had I not seen the work you would not know they had been. All rubbish taken plant pots put back Great Service. Highly recommend to all.

Gordon, Stephanie and the team provided a responsive, flexible service and were able to put a completely new roof on our house quite quickly after storms had caused massive leaks. Their advice was thoughtful and the installation was done without fuss. The roof is top of the line and looks fantastic! We decided to take advantage of the scaffolding and repaint the trim and door. Painting and scaffolding are all done under one roof, making things seamless and really good value for money. I would definitely recommend them highly.

Our London roof was leaking and needed the leak to be identified and new slate tiles fitted. This was not an easy job as the source of the leak was not easy to identify, and our tiles are brittle. It also involved coordinating their work with other contractors who were doing work on the building exterior. They worked well with the other contractors, completed the work for the price agreed, did not cut corners, did not pull out until the work was properly done and inspected, and acted with integrity throughout. The lady who organised the administration is very efficient. I would recommend them.

We needed to replace our flat roof and a section of guttering and also to have the loft windows painted. Gordon Strank arrived when he said he would and provided a detailed and reasonable written estimate for the work required. His company did the work quickly and efficiently and the workers were consistently polite and friendly. As distinct from other companies, GS Roofing informed us if they were going to be late and their office people were always helpful. The morning after the work was finished they took down the scaffolding in two hours. We received a ten year guarantee a few days later. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

This company just repaired some badly leaking gutters on my mother's 1905 house. I can understand why previous reviewers praised their work. They are professional, tidy and quick. They spotted extra things that needed doing and discussed solutions with me before getting on with them immediately. Put dust sheets down immediately and carefully carried ladders through a narrow terraced house. Very reasonable price. They turned up on time for both the estimate and the work. Their office staff are also efficient. Yes I would recommend them.

Sorted out our and our neighbours joint roof problems, did it when they said, diplomatically and cheerfully, caused no damage despite having to take all the scaffolding through a small corridor/house and having a very unhelpful neighbour on the other side with a flat glass roof around which they had to put the scaffolding; they protected the neighbours glass and took the protection away at night. We were relieved he dealt with the right problems unlike other builders who convinced our neighbours incorrectly the chimney was falling down.

Our guttering was old and needed replacing and we obtained various quotes. GS Roofing turned up on time to provide the quote free of charge and the pricing and work suggested seemed the most appropriate and we proceeded. Work was carried out promptly, professionally and to specification. And they even kindly filled in the holes on the weatherboard that hadn't been apparent when the old guttering was in place where squirrels had been getting into the roof. Two problems solved at the same time. Thanks. We would use again and would recommend. A local builder we were using at the time also said the company was known to him and well regarded.

As a local builder I have recommended GS Roofing to several friends and customers. They have consistently been very professional, competitively priced and above all very friendly and easy to deal with. Their 10-year guarantees mean what they say and on the rare occasions when a return visit has bee necessary, they (and especially their managing director Gordon) couldn't have been more willing and efficient in sorting out any problems.
