Shepherd Roofing Ltd

Replacement of very old slated roof required bespoke craftmanship in lead, slating, zincs, uPVC and guttering work. Full coverage of lead coping is a big maintenance advantage over other contractors. Plus we had a reliable, attentive, skilled team, quality material and excellent guarantees - a complete service.

Sandy and Martin did a great job completely re-slating my roof. The lead work on the coping stones was excellent. The more modern extension also had its flat roof replaced. The standard of workmanship throughout was first class.

Excellent service from start to finish, we were kept well informed through the work scope, great advice on working with corrugated sheets and leak prevention. All materials supplied were of The highest standard resulting in a flawless leak free end result, I couldn’t recommend shepherd roofing and slating more 5 star company five star rating.

I recommend Shepherd Roofing. Am very glad that I chose them. Old tiles were stripped off and then replaced with new ones over a breathable membrane. New guttering and PVC soffits. The old wooden facia on dormer window was replaced with a PVC one plus its flat roof was renewed. I hadn’t intended replacing my 3 Velux windows but removal of tiles showed the biggest one needed this so did all three. Sourcing new windows of the correct size held things up a bit...as did the weather! Everything, however, got done in the end. Martin, Sandy and James are a great team. Any questions or concerns which I had were immediately addressed. The scaffolding was removed immediately. Great! Very happy. Thank you.

Shepherd Roofing stripped existing tiles and boards and replaced with new ones on a bungalow. Replaced gutters and downpipes. Fitted PVC soffits. Flat roof extension and garage roof overlay. Also Slate roof replacement at a previous property with dormer roof. Very professional from start to finish with friendly informative updates from Martin as to timeline of work. Sandy does a great job of making sure everything is done correctly and professionally. Very pleased with result of a tidy watertight roof with guarantee. Reasonably priced. Highly Recommended roofers.

Excellent job by people who take a pride in their work. Kept me involved at every stage. Work was done within agreed Schedule and cost. Considerate of myself and my neighbours. My new roof looks great. Highly recommended.

Martin Shepherd and his highly competent team have just completed a challenging job on my house with multiple skill sets required , including slating, stonework, guttering , lead work ( exemplary) and more. They were straightforward, professional, paying close attention to detail and clearly taking a pride in their work. They were entirely reliable with clear communications throughout, on budget and on time ! I’m very pleased with the work they have undertaken for me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.

Martin, Craig and the team have just completed roof repairs to an extension at the rear of our house where water ingress has been causing problems for some time. The job included full replacement of lead flashing, timber repairs, and re-slating. Excellent quality work with great attention to detail and care taken to match the style of the existing roof (random widths, diminishing courses). Communication has been excellent throughout, with Martin following up on any queries promptly and keeping us notified about the scheduling of work.

Three days after I moved into my house the roof leaked - I had suspected I would need a new roof and this proved to be the case. Martin quickly did a temporary fix and scheduled the main work within eight weeks. Storm Amy caused a further major leak just before the work started, and in fact they brought forward the start date. My roof is part-tiled and part flat, it was a complete replacement. The quotation was detailed, and the reason for additional work was clearly explained. The team were brilliant and battled continual heavy rain and some very cold weather to complete the job. The weather caused the job to take longer than expected but Connor worked through a couple of weekends to make up time. Martin made frequent visits to check progress and responded quickly to any queries from me. Communication was excellent throughout.

From first meeting through to completion of job - re-tiling of whole roof and replacement of guttering and down-pipes - they could not be more helpful. The spec was clear and the work done on time and to a high standard. All through they explained what they were doing and why and always showed me the materials they were using.

A quality all round service provided from the initial assessment of the roof to completing the last cut. Pricing was competitive, realistic and good value. Martin and Sandy are courteous, friendly, highly skilled and have a wealth of experience which they demonstrated by the quality of the final product. This is the best finish I have seen on a dry ridge roof, the mitres are phenomenal! In addition to the quoted scope, during the stripdown several problem areas were found on valleys and the lead work due to previous short cuts. These were highlighted quickly, solutions offered, clearly explained and incorporated into the job without adding to the duration.

They Came quickly to do the job. Worked very hard on the day. Both men were very pleasant. Highly recommended.

First-class service on all fronts: friendly and prompt communication (my e-mails were being answered on a Sunday afternoon), quick response, and top-quality workmanship. Martin and Sandy were excellent: they turned up when they said they would (even a few minutes ahead of schedule), explained clearly what they were going to do, and repaired our roof to a great standard. Martin even took the trouble, once they had completed the job, to give us a few useful tips on roof maintenance. Thank you very much, guys, and keep it up: you are a true gem of a company and a credit to your profession.

Am pleased to provide a positive review for Martin and the team at Shepherd Roofing Ltd. A repair and replacement job for my part-flat/part-pitched roof. Quality work. Tidy and efficient team. Good communication and helpful advice from Martin throughout. Delivered on budget. Had to reschedule of some dates due to poor weather but this was well managed. Happy to recommend.

Shepherd Roofing quoted us to replace old cement verge and replace with grey dry verge, also repair / replace ridge tiles. The work was carried out quickly efficiently over two days with the area being left as they found it. The work was done six months ago and it’s as good as the day it was done. We would highly recommend this company and team of workers. Neil @ Val Dunshalt, Fife.

Shepherd Roofing fixed a problem with my roof a year ago. Other problems developed and I decided that my 50 year old roof was needing replaced. Craig gave me a quote for the work and what I was quoted was what I paid. No hidden extras. I was kept updated about when scaffolding would go up, tiles to be delivered etc. Craig and the lads were respectful, hardworking and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. My new roof looks great. Many thanks lads.

Shepherd Roofing costed the work required to remove chimney, retile the whole roof, replace and fit new PVC cladding, soffits, facia and guttering to our mid terraced house. They also re-roofed our canopy and replaced the guttering on that. The quote Martin gave was the price we paid. There was some other building work which I wanted done at the same time and Martin Shepherd was able to suggest another tradesman who could do the work when the scaffolding was up, which was duly done. The price we paid was exactly what Martin quoted, there was an initial delay in starting because of the vagaries of the weather but we were visited by Martin and Craig in person who kept us informed of what was happening throughout. All Martin's team were well mannered and professional, they took pride in their work and the finished job is excellent. They even came back of their own volition when they realised they did not clean the newly fitted cladding and gutters. There was some initial problem with the old guttering that Martin was able to resolve, by making some changes when fitting the new guttering, he noted a possible issue for our neighbour and said should this occur he would rectify it, a leak was noticed which was fixed the next day by Craig, to the delight of the neighbour. They took care of our property and left the site tidy and safe everyday, taking away old materials daily because of the limited space on site. I would recommend Shepherd Roofing to anyone.

Shepherd Roofing replaced a tile roof for us and removed and refitted solar panels and replaced a flat roof and velux window. Work was done to a high standard and as originally quoted. Martin kept us up to date with everything throughout the process. Excellent job well done would not hesitate to recommend Martin and his team to family and friends.
