We are delighted with the work provided by Ben. Katie was very helpful and always promptly replied to emails and voice messages. We would be happy to use Herkomer Roofing & Building Services in the future and would recommend their services.

Ben came to assess the situation and gave me a very fair quote. He set the date, completed the work on time and on budget. The work they completed was excellent; they were tidy, efficient and very pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend Herkomer Roofing to anyone.

An Excellent Service

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.

Fantastic work

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.
