Having used Keenan Roofing in 2005 to re-cement the gable edges, I returned to the company for a complete re-tiling of my house and separate garage roofs. I was given good advice about the various tiles available, received a very clear price with schedule of payments and a timetable (depending, of course, on weather conditions) for the works . In conjunction with re-tiling, I was having in-roof solar panels which meant that communication and liaison were crucial. Julian recommended a company as my power supplier was currently not supplying in this area. Liaison at all times was excellent. His team (Vernon, Doug and Tom) were a real pleasure to have around and worked very hard and were always polite and cheerful, despite the vagaries of the weather. Despite some heavy downpours the works were completed in the anticipated time. The entire project was well managed and I would certainly recommend this company.

We highly recommend Julian Keenan and his excellent team for any roofing project. We have just had a large leaking roof in our old house, with a complicated roof structure, completely stripped back to rafters and renovated, upgrading insulation, repairing numerous lead valleys, replacing tiles where necessary and repointing chimneys. We had 8 roofing firms come to the house to quote for the job and Julian was the only one who actually quoted and was prepared to take us on! His communication was excellent, he stuck to the agreed quotation, was very clear and fair about when staged payments were due and did not ask for the final balance until all work was signed off by building control, scaffolding down, skip removed and they had done an amazing job of clearing up. It was a costly building project for us, but having seen how much work has been done by a team of 4 roofers continuously for 4 months, with extensive double tier scaffolding all around the house, and all the new materials that were needed, the price was very fair. Julian's team (Tommy, Vernon, Duncan and Kiefer) were a pleasure to have around, arrived promptly every day, worked long hours in appalling weather through the winter, but remained polite and cheerful in spite of the challenges they faced. We have already recommended them to other people locally who noticed the work going on over the last few months. Outstanding experience and remarkably stress free given the size and duration of the project.

Called Keenan Roofing as had a leak around my chimney breast. Needed to have a scaffold erected for the work to be carried out, this was put in place on the Friday and work was carried out on the following Monday. Scaffold was taken down on Tuesday so very little inconvenience. I was shown photos of the work carried out which is always good when you can't actually see it for yourself. I used Keenan Roofing some years ago and was just as satisfied then. Would definitely recommend them.

Roof Leak from air vent

Roof vent had been previously removed by another roofer but was not completed properly as evidence of leak persisted with evidence of staining of ceiling below. Called Keenan Roofing and spoke with Julian, explained the situation. Scaffolding was erected and repair was carried out by Vernon from Keenan Roofing. The repair was completed in a professional manner, the tiles were removed and new breathable membrane and batons fitted, and tiles were replaced. This was not a big job but had to be done due to staining on ceiling. I am very pleased with the outcome and although it hasn't rained yet I am confident of the outcome. Hats off also to Law Scaffolding who erected the scaffolding with minimal damage to shrubs below

Julian and his team did outstanding and excellent work in replacing my roof which was suffering from numerous problems. It was completed to time and as per quote. Noticeable was the fact that things happened when they were said they were going to happen! The work was complicated by the presence of solar panels on the roof. Julian engaged a solar panel company to remove and reinstall the panels before and after the roof replacement. This company was excellent too. Julian and his staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

Quotation
We needed an indication of costs to strip out spray foam insulation and replace an existing roof with a new roof on a property we do not yet own. Julian was extremely helpful and went out of his way to provide us with an estimated cost, even though we were unable to get him access to the property at this time.

We urgently needed to get our main roof repaired as we had a leak coming from somewhere up there. We called out Keenan roofers who were able to come out quite promptly and asses the situation. They gave us a quote and within days were able to get the job done. I can’t say how impressed I am with their workmanship and attention to detail. This is not the first time we have used Keenan roofing as they also did a fantastic job on a new build that we had done a couple of years ago on a garage and study extension. Highly recommended.

Following heavy rains recently we noticed water coming in and we contacted Julian who swiftly came and assessed the situation. The roof needed to be stripped, new battens (that were in a bad way!) and felt laid. Julian and his team managed to use the existing tiles which saved money and Julian ensured the work was done as quickly as possible. He was extremely helpful and kept us informed of the situation (even when he was supposed to be on holiday). His team have done a fantastic job for a very reasonable price (and to budget). I would highly recommend Keenan Roofing.

Julian and his team roofed our home in November 2016. It consisted of a large pitched main roof, dormers, porch and a flat roof. The guys that worked on our home, turned up on time, worked effectively and quickly, they were polite and helpful. Julian was quick to cost our job, competitive and honest. He even answered my calls!! Our builders delayed Keenan roofing from completing the roof, Julian and co were professional, understanding and (unlike the builders) true to their word and returned to complete the work. The roof looks amazing too, thank you. Would recommend without hesitating.

Keenan Roofing recovered my roof in September 2016 - a fairly straightforward job but as it was my first 'big work' on the house I met with lots of roofers before I chose Julian and his team. Julian is very knowledgeable and open - giving honest advice on various options and making time to discuss any concerns without putting any pressure on. The whole team are reliable and professional. It is clear they take pride in their work. They were polite and kept the work area neat and tidy throughout. I'm really pleased with the excellent service from Keenan Roofing and would recommend them without hesitation.

We had to have a new roof in April 2014 when we moved into a large roofed farmhouse. Julian and his team did the job and of course, with such a large roof and particularly with the seam between the chimneys and the roof, a leak appeared after about 7 months. We told Julian and he set up the scaffolding and set to the task. Now ...no leak but he ensured the scaffolding remained until some heavy rain just to make sure. What I'm trying to say is that he will ensure the job is perfect and even come back after some months to make sure of this...at no extra charge. He does guarantee a good job. The trouble is that we have more jobs and he is very busy and as the jobs are not urgent we would much rather wait for him ... if the job were urgent I am confident Julian will prioritise and ensure he gets to us as quickly as he can. Thank you Julian

I called Julian Keenan to investigate a serious leak in the roof of my house. He quickly identified the cause and advised me on what was needed, which included the reconstruction of a dormer flat roof with a new fall and gutter, and renewal of a large part of the pitched roof with new felt and battens. His quotation stated clearly what was included. Julian and his excellent team worked hard, aimed for the highest standards, and were always cooperative and friendly. The work was completed in the time agreed, to my complete satisfaction. He claimed no additional costs, and left the site clean and tidy. I would be happy to employ Keenan Roofing again, and can give this firm an unqualified recommendation.

I contacted Keenan Roofing to replace a ridge tile dislodged by the recent storms, having found their details through Which Local. Julian came round promptly and gave a reasonable quote for the work; he took the broken tile to find a match and returned as promised later that day to complete the work. Once up there, he identified that two more tiles had been cracked, probably by the dislodged ridge tile on its way down. He showed me photographs, and agreed a price for their replacement. Again, he had to go off to find a match, but came early the next day to fit them. Although I didn't get other quotes, I was happy with the service and the price and would go to Julian again.

After asking several companies to quote, only Keenan's and one other responded. The work involved correcting a poor job made by another roofer I contracted at the start of the year (well a bodge being honest), needing a new lead slate to be properly fitted around a soil pipe that penetrates through the roof tiles. This also necessitated stripping and re-tiling ridge tiles around the location. The whole job looks to have been well done and tested in the recent downpoors. I've also asked Julian to quote for remedying a problem I have just noticed with one of the roof verges.

Julian provided a written quotation within 1 day of his visit to my detached house. The job entailed removing the mortar from the front and rear verges of the concrete roof, together with the failed undercloak. A new undercloak was fitted under the replacement extended battens. The verges at the front and rear were then re-mortared. The Ridge tiles were also removed and cleaned of mortar, which was only present at each end of the ridge tiles at the joins. The ridge tiles were then refitted with a full length of mortar underneath each ridge tile. Julian and his team provided protective sheets to protect the brick drive and the sandstone patio from debris, this worked very well. They cleaned up after completing all of the work which was achieved in a single day. I would recommend Keenan Roofing for their high standard of workmanship . A 10 year guarantee is also provided.

Problem with crumbling ridge tiles on a clay tile roof. Got a number of quotes from local.which recommended roofers. Julian Keenan gave the best price for replacement with clay and we agreed a date to do the work, a number of weeks after quoting as he was busy. Came as agreed, did the work, result excellent and in keeping with the existing tiles. Cleared up afterwards and removed old tiles. You would only know they were here because the roof looks good. No hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.

I had to call a roofer for my mother who is elderly and partially sighted. Mr Keenan rang her by return, and arranged to come and view her property the next morning to assess the frost damage to her roof. He quoted a very reasonable price (under the insurance excess amount!), went off to buy the tiles locally and had completed the work before lunchtime. Thank you, Mr Keenan.

I got 3 quotes to replace the tiled roof on my small 4 bed detached house, and settled on Keenan Roofing. Apart from giving me the most competitive price, they also seemed the most interested in the work...although Mr Keenan pointed out that he would not be able to start for a few weeks as he had existing commitments to fulfil. Their work was excellent, the finished job look great and the chaps were a pleasure to deal with...always keeping to time and keeping me informed as things progressed. I was so pleased with their work on my house roof that I asked them to give me a price for the flat roof on my garage and dining room (I had been thinking about getting it repaired for ages) That quote was also very competitive and they were able to start the work a couple of weeks later...so I accepted. The weather caused a few delays during both jobs, but the chaps got on with things whenever practical. They were very easy to deal with, extremely polite throughout, and cleared up properly when they finished. Couldn't praise them highly enough...no hesitation in recommending them...first class!
