I found the Helling Brothers , which are local to myself , via Which Trusted Traders. They are without doubt the most professional hassle free team I have come across. From start to finish (at first doing an emergency repair to the flat roof) They then carried out work for a permanent replacement to the leaded flat roof at the back of the property over the bathroom , plus replacing , at the front the gables. Cannot recommend highly enough and would never hesitate to use again.

After an initial inspection and agreeing that our roof lights needed replacing Lee and his team worked swiftly to make a good job of that and some minor repairs. Everything was clearly explained and care during the work and clearing afterwards left me admiring their professionalism.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Fitting roof lights is one of my favourite parts of our job, but pleasing customers is better!
Slipped tiles - excellent work

We thoroughly recommend Hellings Brothers. They have looked after our roof for many years and have always been reliable, helpful and prompt. On this occasion, they quickly and successfully responded when we had a number of slipped tiles which were the result of recent high winds. They got back to us with a quote on the same day that we contacted them and completed the work with the minimum of fuss a few days later. So thank you Hellings, for your efficient and professional work. Whenever anyone asks us to recommend a roofer, yours is the name that we give.

Excellent Work
I really appreciated having Hellings Brothers repair my roof. They were so patient with all my questions about it and then very efficient when they came to do the work.

Happy to help. It’s important we help customers understand what we are doing and that they feel at ease with us. We often use photos taken before and after the work is done to show customers how we have solved their leak etc. We are glad to have been able to repair your roof for you.

The estimate to repair the leaking roof was provided promptly and they arrived to repair the roof at the agreed time. The roof doesn't leak now. The invoice was for slightly less than the estimate. Hellings Brothers have a good reputation locally, and I'd use their services again without hesitation.

Gutter replacement - job done

Quote visit arranged by returned call. Professional quotation received soon after site visit. Although long lead time quoted (3 months) to do the job due to their work load, were courteous when called to arrange a mutually convenient date and time to do the job after 6 weeks. Arrived on time on the date agreed (2 months after quote to the day!) and completed the job. Tidy job and cleared after themselves. Looks good though not tested but I am sure they would return if needed but trust their years of experience that it will function as expected.

Thank you for the comprehensive review. We appreciate it. It’s important to us to turn up when we say, and do what we say we will do, whether that be to send a quote, turn up at a set time or fix a roof. Our customers put a lot of trust in us and we strive to deserve that trust. You make a good point about guarantees. Some firms offer fancy looking guarantees, with high claims. Ours are simply stated, but it’s of the utmost importance to us to honour them. Obviously we first aim to make sure you don’t need to call us back, but should you need to, we always aim to return at the earliest opportunity and rectify any issues. It’s how trust is built. Thank you again for the nice review.
Cleaning gutters and downpipes

My gutters were cleared of debris and the downpipes were checked for blockages and cleared at the front and the rear of the house. They were very efficient and tidy as usual.

Thank you for the review. Gutter cleaning may not be very exciting but it saves many problems down the line. It’s not the most glamorous work but it’s satisfying to see previously clogged and poorly flowing gutters work correctly. We suggest waiting till after the leaves have fallen to have gutters cleaned, so you get the most benefit. Thank you for choosing Hellings Brothers.

The Hellings Bros roofing were very professional, polite and fully open with the work they were going to undertake and also once completed. They were respectful and honest. Cleared and tidied. Arrived on time.

Thanks for the concise but glowing review. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to review us. You mention our tidying up. It’s amazing to me how many people are surprised at how well we like to tidy up. We see it as essential, not optional to tidy up well, but so often hear that builders can leave a mess. It’s not right to do a job and leave the customer to tidy up our mess! We are glad you are so pleased with our work and tidying. Don’t hesitate to call, should you need us.
Work to main shared chimney

I had a leak into the front bedroom by the chimney breast. Sam from Hellings Brothers came round assessed the problem and sent me an estimate within an hour. He explained that they were really busy but he would try and fit my job in as soon as he could. He was as good as his word and turned up on the date arranged at the time specified. Sam and his colleague removed the cement fillets from my half of chimney and fitted new lead soakers and new lead flashings. I also had some weeds growing around the chimney which they kindly removed as well as replacing three tiles for me. I was very impressed with their workmanship and the way he explained everything that they had done, with photos too. They were polite and very professional, I highly recommend them.

We found these guys to be exemplary in all they did. They completed the work to time, on budget and did a first rate job. They also left our place neater and tidier than they probably found it. Cannot praise them too highly. Extremely pleased with their work. 5 stars from us.
