I am very pleased to leave this review for the excellent service and high quality work carried out by Herkomer Roofing. From the initial contact through to completion, the team was professional, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. They communicated clearly at every stage, arrived when they said they would, and completed the work to a very high standard. The attention to detail and pride they take in their workmanship were evident throughout the project. It is refreshing to work with a company that combines expertise with genuine customer care. I would not hesitate to recommend Herkomer Roofing to anyone looking for dependable, skilled, and trustworthy roofing professionals.Excellence

Garage roof repair

I recently noticed a water leak coming from our garage roof and on inspection I realised the roof felt and flashing was in a bad state of repair and desperately needed replacing. I contacted Herkomer roofing services and within a day or so Ben arrived to have a look. He told me what work would need to be done and due to the weather conditions and other work commitments he would not be able to fit us in for several weeks. I received a proper written quote from Ben the next day via email setting out the work needed to be done and the price which we were happy with. After about three weeks they contacted us to say they had prioritised us and due to a break in the weather could come and sort us out in the next few days. There was a team of three that worked very hard and they managed to complete the work within two days. Ben invited me up on the roof to show me what they had done. After a good inspection I was very pleased to say they had done a cracking job replacing the felt, lead flashing, guttering and fascias etc and I was very happy. An excellent job. Throughout, they looked and behaved in a professional manor and were very respectful. Before they left, they made sure the site was left clean and tidy. I could not fault the service they provided and would highly recommend them.

Excellent Workmanship and Service
Herkomer Roofing replaced the facia boards and guttering on my house and I could not be happier with the results. They have made my house look great, I can’t believe the difference it has made. Ben was a pleasure to deal with as was Katy, and his team that came to do the work were extremely professional and hard-working. The quote was reasonable, everything was left tidy, all of the rubbish was removed and I cannot fault their service and professionalism. I highly recommend this company.

Herkomer Roofing provided by far the best quote for the work we wanted – full roof tile replacement, new guttering and loft insulation – and then more than delivered in terms of quality of workmanship and service. Every step of the way Ben and Katie were very quick to reply to any questions about what we needed, including excellent support with ensuring building control attended at the right time. Their friendly, responsive service gave us great confidence in the work they were planning to do, and we are delighted with the end result. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Herkomer Roofing and they will be our first choice for any future roofing requirements.

Ben has done roof work for me previously. My 100-year-old roof needed complete replacement this time. As always, it was a quality job done with maximum efficiency, completed on time at a competitive price. He has an excellent team and is very straightforward and reliable. I strongly recommend them for any roofing work.

I recently had the facia boards and guttering replaced at the front of my house. The quote given was fair and I was very very happy with the completed job. My neighbours comment how nice the front of the house looks. Ben did a great job, everything was left clean and tidy afterwards and all rubbish was removed. All phone calls and emails were dealt with promptly. Highly recommend!

We had our entire roof replaced by Herkomer Roofing in February 2025, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Ben and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and tidy. They completed the work to a very high standard, and their pricing was excellent. We highly recommend Ben and his team to anyone in need of roofing services. Fantastic job, Herkomer Roofing!

From the outset, I had trust that Herkomer Roofing would do an excellent job and provide a super service. They did not disappoint. A local, established company with a reputation they care about. Ben and Katie kept us informed of progress through the job. They turned up promptly, every day, were self sufficient, clean and tidy. Logistically, everything happened at the right time and the job was completed on time and on budget. The roof looks superb and we can tell it’s going to last for many many years, without problems. It’s always feels a risk getting roofing work done. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I would definitely use Herkomer roofing Ltd again. Alex and another man arrived on time and got straight to work. They were professional and worked quickly, tidying up as they went. Couldn’t fault the communications between myself and Katie, who arranged the visit. They replaced my rusted cast iron down pipes with new plastic ones and took away the old ones as requested. Very reasonable pricing too!

Ben assessed the flat roof on my garage straight away - it had been leaking badly for a number of years. He took a lot of trouble to confirm the presence of asbestos and then took all the appropriate steps to ensure that the roof was removed, and disposed of in compliance with Government regulations. The work was carried out promptly and efficiently and I now have a dry garage. He, and his assistant went above and beyond - clearing vegetation, and helping to clear the garage. They arrived on time each day and took great care to complete the work in spite of adverse weather conditions. Great praise is also due to their office manager, Katie, who was helpful and efficient throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben and his team.

We have used Ben on several occasions but most recently he replaced a flat roof for a pitched roof. The work is fantastic, the quotes provided are always clear and prompt and the work is always completed on time. We are so happy with the work Ben has completed. It has made such a difference to the house. Not only that, Ben leaves everywhere tidy and cleans up after he has finished. We absolutely could not recommend him enough.

I chair the Finance Committee of Bushey & Oxhey Methodist Church. A neighbour reported an iron down pipe was leaning away from the wall at the side of the church over a passageway and towards an adjacent building. Ben called the next day to assess the situation and established it was a disused oil vent pipe. A reasonable estimate was immediately given and accepted, pipe and old fittings promptly removed and the brickwork made good. Last year major work was done promptly by him after gale damage to flashing on the spire and tiling and flashing on the church roof under insurance cover. Following further rain a return visit was made promptly without charge to add to adjust the flashing on the church roof. Other routine remedial work last year to a leaking flat roof and clearance of blocked guttering has also been done to our satisfaction.

Unreliable
Ben promptly came round in Oct 22 and gave a quote for fixing a leaky roof. He advised he was taking bookings for 2-3 weeks ahead. I called the day after receiving the quote but was told the earliest they could fit me in was 3 months later, for a job that would take one day. Reluctantly I agreed to the date in late January that they offered me. Didn't hear anything further until mid January when they emailed and said it would now be at least end of March before they could do the job, blaming poor weather, staff shortages etc. I emailed back asking if they could confirm a date, to which they replied they could no longer carry out the work that they had quoted for. Can't comment on whether they are any good at repairing roofs, but their shoddy customer service means I cant recommend them.

The trader replied (on 05/04/2023)
Hi We do understand your disappointment and we did email you at the end of January to apologise for the situation that arose. I am a little surprised that two months later you have decided to leave some negative feedback as I have previously explained how we got to this point. this isn’t how we normally operate at all. Unfortunately due to the recent weather,delays on projects And staffing issues we had to minimise the upcoming work at that time as we wouldn’t have been able to fulfill it to a high standard. We are a small business who likes to give a good service but due to high demand we do have to prioritise and just aren’t able to be everywhere. we are just not comfortable subbing work out and potentially giving you an inferior result. Katie did notify you at the time of booking how busy we were and if it was urgent then you may be better looking for someone with more availability. unfortunately we are governed by weather also. I can assure we didnt take the decision lightly but with so much pressure on us at that time we had to do what is right for us. Again we can only apologise for any inconvenience caused. Many thanks Ben

I contacted Herkomer because they were recommended by a neighbour having a similar roof replacement. Ben turned up when he said he would was very professional and answered my queries. Timely quote and very competitive price. The team turned up when they said they would, got the work done despite very hot weather. Kept me informed about the job. Ben explained options carefully and at the end explained what they had done. It was a painless experience and i believe it is a very good job. I would highly recommend this company.

Professional and most satisfactory experience
The job entailed replacing guttering, fascias & soffits and renewing flat roof. Arrival times were prompt and the job was finished on budget and well within the agreed schedule. Both tradesmen were friendly, answering questions and communicating in all instances where it was necessary. An additional extra small job was also carried out promptly without any fuss. It was a pleasure to do business with Herkomer Roofing.

A great job re-felting the garage roof

I required re-felting of my garage roof - the existing roof was literally peeling off and required immediate replacement due to the poor weather. Herkomer Roofing came to have a look within a day of calling. The work was scheduled accordingly and they arrived promptly on the day. The old roof was stripped and removed. New felting was applied. They estimated a little over a day to complete and finish off for a double length garage. The job took just over a day as scheduled and looks great. They did a fantastic job laying the new felt and finishing off the trimming. The guys were very friendly and courteous and didn't leave any mess behind. I am completely satisfied with the job and would not hesitate to use or recommend them for further work should it be required.

I have used Herkomer Roofing at least three times now, and each time Ben has been fast, friendly, and very efficient. He has given me accurate estimates and explained why the work needs to be done, and how he plans to do it. He has replaced missing ridge tiles and roof tiles (no mean feat on a three story house), cleared gutters, and replaced a whole flat roof for me. I have every confidence that he is a completely trustworthy and reliable craftsman, and I would have no hesitation in both using Herkomer Roofing again, and in recommending them to others.

We have used Herkomer Roofing Ltd for over 10 years for various repair jobs some big some small. We've just had a new flat roof replaced as we had a leak recently. They arrived to do the job when they said as they always do. They don't overcharge, their work is excellent, they take care and don't leave a mess. They will also have a good look around and fix other tiles that they see need sorting out if it can be done at the same time. Ben and company are extremely trustworthy take pride in their work and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

I had a hole in the roof and Herkomer Roofing were there in under 24 hours, and not just to do a temporary patch up. Full job done in no time at all, and the price rather stunned me as to how reasonable it was. I wouldn't use anyone else.
