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
Customer Service
Quality

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.

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.
Excellent roof repairs.

Hellings Brothers completed the works (replacing an old Velux window where the flashing was leaking, fixing and repointing the lead work on a rear chimney and replacing the strip flashing on the front chimney) in a professional manner and even came in under the original quote. I was impressed by their punctuality, clear explanations, unassuming attitude and felt I was in safe and trusted hands.

We are here any time you need help.

Excellent Service - quick, efficient and reasonably priced
The brothers repaired a leaking flat roof and blocked drainpipe. They literally came the next day after I called and it was sorted. Great work, very polite and clear transparency on what was needed and cost. I would highly recommend them.
