J W Scudder Roofing Ltd

John Scudder was very professional. We needed our rear extension re-roofed and he advised there were three options but recommended the cheapest as the most suitable. His team were very efficient and the job was done on time with minimal mess and disruption. The job was done six months ago and there have been no issues. It has been looked at by a master builder, who is doing a different job for us, who commented on the quality of the work.

Family company. John's son, together with Reece, proved to be very hard working and completed the overlaying and water proofing of two flat roofs in one day. Found them to be competent, tidy, polite and the company dependable.

John and his team have just finished work on our roof, loft and guttering. They run a really professional and friendly outfit which i will be using again next year for future work. They work quickly, tidily and efficiently. John also stuck to his original quote even though there was additional work discovered; one of the jobs was to board out the 2nd half of our loft. John originally quoted for continuing the boarding on top of the existing rafters. It wasn't until work started that one of his team realised they would need to raise the height of the rafters so that the boarding would continue at the same height as the existing side. We were consulted as soon as this was discovered but the extra work was carried out at no additional charge because of the minor oversight. As they needed access to the property time constraints were quite difficult on my behalf to find a window of opportunity to be around so they could carry out the work. John was very accommodating and understanding with my situation and we were able to arrange a perfect slot for both of our schedules. We are very pleased with the work carried out and would highly recommend them if ever asked for a recommendation.

We have used this compny on two occasions. The first after we had received an expensive quote from another company which proved to be excessive. John Scudder analised precisely what was wrong and two of his men carried out the work within a few days which has proved extremely satisfactory. On the second occasion, a small gutter problem was identified as the cause of damp ingress and minor work was carried out on the spot. It is a family business with smart vans and staff who do not look for work that is not required and just give honest appraisals. They are very professional and a breath of fresh air in an age frequented by many cowboy operators.

John Scudder heads a small family roofing company. When invited to give an estimate for the complete renewal of three sections of tiled roof, he had a close look at the existing structure to ensure there were no underlying problems and gave good practical advice. Having accepted his estimate (the middle of three obtained) and agreed a provisional start date, I was kept fully informed of plans and, despite the wet weather in April, the start was only delayed by a few days. Once the work began, the team arrived promptly each day, worked diligently throughout taking their lunch on site _ and needing only a regular cup of tea to sustain them! The work was carefully planned to ensure that the roof was always watertight when the team were not on site. All the tiling was completed to a very high standard and additional insulation was laid to comply with current Building Regulations. The site was cleaned daily and scaffolding and skip were promptly cleared on the first working day after tiling was completed. Finally, a ten year NFRC guarantee was given and a Building Regulation Compliance Certificate was received. A very professional job completed with the minimum of fuss. Highly recommended.

John ScudderÍs team have done an excellent job of re-roofing our Victorian house. The house has an attic floor with dormer windows and the work included installation of roof insulation. When asked to estimate John was helpful with advice on options, provided costs for alternative, showed us examples of different tiles, indicated the likely timetable and timing, and warned of weather risks. John was quick to inform us when the initially agree start date had to be put back by a week. Once a start was made, the work was completed very efficiently without a break. The small team on site were very friendly, kept us informed of progress each day and worked co-operatively with another contractor who was installing a shower room on the top floor at the same time. The inevitable mess and debris around the outside of the house was regularly tidied. The original estimate was very competitive against other quotations and there was only one very small extra agreed at the beginning when the roof could be examined close up from the scaffolding. We are very pleased with the new roof and the way it was installed and would thoroughly recommend John and his team.

Mr Scudder completed a roof overhaul including re-bedding all the ridge tiles. In addition he remove and re tiled a roof. Very good and clean job. Would recommend him to others and would be happy to use again.

Mr. Scudder quoted half the price of other tenders to replace an asbestos garage roof with a boarded & triple sealed waterproof membrain. The work was carried out in one day, in an excellent manor.
