I have used Hellings Brothers for some years. They are by far the best roofers I have ever come across. Always excellent quality work, great service, professional and good value for money. I would recommend Hellings Brothers. Don’t waste time looking elsewhere you won’t find better.

We have used Hellings Brothers for a few years. They have helped many times after bad building works. They have worked various parts of the roof. The work has always been to a high standard and sorted out the problem first time. They are very organised, on time, tidy and very efficient. The quotes have always been accurate. If they haven’t got time they will help out with a solution until they can return. Will very happily recommend them. I even got them on WhatsApp.

Thank you for the kind review. We are glad you are pleased and that our work has always been upto the standard you’d expect. It’s fair to say we can’t always sort out a problem first time, water can be a tricky thing but we are persistent and pride ourselves on persevering to always solve any leaks. Thank you again for your review. Much appreciated.

The four man team was polite and informative, with clean and tidy work, and clearly experienced at roofing. We have used them before for work and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Chimney repair

We are very pleased with the work by Glen and Sam . They repointed our chimney, and chased in lead flashing. They also repointed the main ridge of the roof. The work was completed to a high standard, both men working on a very hot day. The price was as quoted. It was worth waiting six months from quote to completion as we are very satisfied. They are both pleasant and polite. Left the working area clean and tidy.

Fixed the roof while the sun was shining

The roof of my 1930s suburban semi was showing signs of wear and tear and I had discovered water stains on the purlins in the loft. I feared I might need a new roof or a substantial roof overhaul. I called in Hellings based on their reputation as a Which Trusted Trader and as a fairly local family firm. I'm so glad I did. They responded to my enquiry promptly, came and inspected the problem within the promised 10 days, and assured me the roof was basically in good condition with just a few tiles, hips and bonnets in need of replacement or repointing. I was concerned that they had a six month waiting list - a testament to their popularity and that the three Hellings Brothers undertake the work personally as a team. However, as mine was a small job, they were able to fit me in within a couple of weeks. The guys turned up on time, carried out the work as specified without fuss, answered my questions clearly and courteously and cleaned up impeccably afterwards. Their professionalism and friendliness was matched by the clarity of their paperwork - a transparent quotation, proper contract and detailed invoice. A less scrupulous firm might have taken me for thousands. In the event, my bill was in the high hundreds. I shall certainly ask Hellings Brothers to quote if I need roof repairs in the future.

Thank you for the review Guy. We appreciate all the reviews, especially such a thorough one. We often find roofers would prefer to just say a new roof is needed as firms often have large work forces they need to keep busy. We’d rather maintain a roof as it’s usually more cost effective for our customers. We are always here if you need us.
Exemplary roofers

The 6 month wait to have Hellings Brothers carry out various roof repairs on our 90-year old roof was more than worth it. They did an excellent job. Work included repointing hips and ridges, replacing broken tiles and adjusting others, repointing and reflaunching a chimney, lowering the height of another chimney and leading over, fitting a section of gutter as well as general gutter clearing and flushing of downpipes. The work was done quickly and relatively quietly with all rubble swiftly cleared and there was no disturbance/damage to the surrounding garden. Communication with Hellings Brothers was excellent from first contact and dealing with Sam, Leigh, Glen and Ben was an absolute pleasure. If we ever need any roof repairs again we won't even think of calling anyone else. Thank you for exceeding our expectations and for matching our request to repair our roof rather than replace. You truly do your profession proud.

Ours was a small job but a very necessary one. Despite their busy schedule Sam managed to fit us in! He came on time, was so pleasant and polite and more to the point has done an excellent job. Site was left tidy and clean before he left.
