Gutter replacement - job done
Customer Service
Quality
Value
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.

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.

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.

Rapid Storm Damage Repair with a Smile

Early 2024 and a storm dislodged a concrete ridge tile which bounced 4 times before coming to rest. Each bounce led to about 4 broken tiles, and water ingress into my loft in a difficult place. Leigh and Sam attended and repaired it very quickly, quicker than other roofers which I'd contacted. Their quote was very competitive, and they worked quickly, cleanly and without a fuss. Considerate, and respectful, these chaps were first rate. As for pricing, very fair, and the price and estimate tied in with the work that was required. A good experience, and I'll be asking them to do some other routine repair work that'd been reluctant to get done before.

Replacement of ridge tiles damaged in storm

I have used Hellings Bros previously and didn't hesitate to contact them again after suffering some roof damage during storm Henck. They responded very quickly, came and gave quote, arranged to complete repair, turned up as arranged and completed job within 5 days of first contacting them. Very efficient, good communication and polite. Final invoice as per quote. Would thoroughly recommend them and use them again.

Thank you for your kind review. We were happy to help. Storm Henck( strange name for a storm!) did a lot of damage and we tried to prioritise those with holes in roofs etc, especially if there was risk of more falling debris because the roof was compromised. We were pleased to get your roof back to ship shape. Thank you for choosing Hellings Brothers again. Here’s hoping the storms pass you by next time.
Very professional, thorough, polite and friendly, quick and detailed quotation, and a good price - highly recommended.

We had work undertaken including repointing of ridge tiles and chimneys, new and re-levelled guttering and downpipe repairs, new airbrick rain covers fitted, and repairs to wooden and tiled gable frontage, including fixing and painting. Leigh, Sam, Glenn and Will all arrived on time and well prepared, were extremely polite and friendly, and informed us at all stages what they were doing, and how - which is really appreciated and often missing. All the work was completed within the day, and with the weather closing in; despite the time pressure, everything was done thoroughly and with care. We will definitely use Hellings Brothers again. Thank you, lads.

Thank you for your lovely review. We try to offer a good standard of care and attention to all our customers. Yours was a particularly involved job, being as we we were working on so many different areas of your home. None of it huge things, just lots to think through before we arrived, making sure we had all we needed. Having a team made up solely of family means we work well together with complete trust and this helps a lot, especially on the more complicated jobs. It all came together nicely, well ahead of the forecast weather thankfully. Please don’t hesitate to call again, though I imagine the overhaul your roof had, will mean we may not see your for a good while. Kind regards, Hellings Brothers.

Thank you for the kind review. We like to show as much of our work as possible. Both by photos and showing the actual damaged roof parts we strip out to replace, if possible. It’s always very satisfying to correct a leak, and we enjoy helping customers have water tight roofs. We are glad you don’t have any more water in.
