I booked John in a while back to advise on a leak we had in our bathroom. He was booked up until the following year and still managed to find time. He came over and spent well over half an hour looking at the outside roof and the bathroom. He cleared growth and mud from the roof and spent time advising on how to rectify the problem myself - saving money and a long wait for his availability.. He’s pleasant, very easy going experienced and extremely knowledgeable. He wouldn’t take any payment from me. No wonder he’s booked up for several months! I thoroughly recommend - if he has time and availability.

From estimate to completion the honesty, professionalism and quality that John and his team bring to the job are second to none, with passion for their trade evident in the workmanship of the finished job. Polite and punctual throughout the work with regular updates. Absolutely no surprises regarding pricing nor changes. Totally trustworthy. John has a natural easy way of explaining all aspects of roofing without coming over all technical and will not try to create nor fabricate work that is not needed, quite the contrary in fact, very refreshing to hear these days. We will definitely use the services of John Couzens for any future work should the need arise and are very happy to recommend his services.

John couzens created a lead roof on a new bay window and tiled a new oak porch. The lead roof is beautifully done with a lead Tudor Rose, the company’s logo, attached. The tiled roof looks good and the professionalism of the team is obvious. John himself was really helpful and the team were polite and a pleasure to have at the house. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

100 year old roof and valley replacement
Customer Service

Had the original lead valley on our lovely 100 year old house replaced,under the advice of a 'roofer', with a GRP (fibreglass version) when we first moved in. Years later, we discovered dampness in a bedroom cupboard and through further investigation found the valley had been leaking, through the floor and onto the ceiling below. Called John Couzens for advice and asked for a quote for this work and for re-doing the whole roof at the same time. Agreed a date and the work began. John and his team stripped the roof of tiles and battens and installed insulation to the inaccessible parts of the roof space. They then removed the existing cracked valley and rotten timbers. The team then felt/battened and re-tiled the roof as well as re-building the wooden valley structure prior to installing a beautiful lead version. The project was finished on time (give or take a few days due to weather and supplies being delayed) and the quality and detailing is truly outstanding. John and his team were friendly, approachable and knowledgable throughout. I would heartily recommend.

Our 100 year old roof was in need of a complete renovation. John couldn’t have been more helpful. He was thorough in his assessment and great at advising on the best way to do the job whilst saving us money. Work was carried out on time and with professionalism. The attention to detail was second to none and they went above and beyond to make sure the job was done to the highest of quality. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again. Highly recommend to anyone.

John turned up when he said he would and gave us a detailed quote for a new roof and a realistic time scale. His team were a pleasure to have working on our bungalow. They were clean and tidy workers, very polite and respectful. The workmanship is first class, with a lot of attention to detail. I would highly recommend them.

What started as a problem with pigeons under the solar panels and some loose tiles turned into a new roof due to rotting battens. We now have a smart new roof and no pigeons or gulls. The work was done very efficiently with the minimum of disruption and mess, despite the impending pandemic lockdown. The workers were unfailingly friendly and helpful. The minor snags after the job were rectified promptly. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Major problem with flat roof above bedroom. Quick estimate and date fixed for work. Weather delayed start by one day. Completed on 2nd day. Fantastic service and John kept us updated by phone and text. A few days after completion the roof was checked and two tiles replaced where scaffolding had broken tiles.

John Couzins roofing company recently completed re-roofing my house in Chesham, Bucks. John Couzins and his team originally replaced the whole roof some years ago but due to a really serious fire the whole roof needed to be replaced. John did such a fantastic job the first time I was delighted to get him to do the job this time. John and his team did a fantastic job the attention to detail, the professional manner in which they conducted themselves was brilliant. The standard of work particularly the leadwork, slating and pointing is a sight for sore eyes, really well done. There innovative ideas in improving the existing structure was really appreciated. John Couzins and I agreed a price and work schedule and the company worked to it doing a great job. If you can this company to work for you you will be as pleased as I am.

We engaged John's team to install lead and iron work to a party wall between our house and our neighbour's property which was suffering damp. The quality of the lead work and the iron work is simply excellent and in keeping with the the age of our property which is in a conservation area. Everyone who worked on the job was very courteous with ourselves, and also very respectful of our neighbour's property as the majority of work needed access there. The work was carried out in a highly professional manner, and the team cleaned up and squared away all tools and materials each day. The final finish looks great and we do not hesitate to recommend John's work. We plan to engage further work with John in the coming months.

We had 6 traders look at our roof and out of them all John Couzen was head and shoulders above the rest. He had the most professional and practical solutions for quite a complex job. It was obvious how much experience he had and there was not any problem he couldn't talk us through and solve. He doesn't just do one type of roof, he works out and chooses the best type for your circumstances. I am so grateful for the great job he and his team have done and at a reasonable price.

I have used this roofing contractor twice and have found his work exemplary. The "Kout Peg" tiled pitch roof on our first extension blended in perfectly with our Edwardian house. The flat lead roof on the second extension, I have yet to see its equal.
