The Original Roofing Company

Having noticed some loose tiles and a crack in a chimney flaunching/render (and being unable to get a word-of-mouth recommendation for a local roofer) I searched the internet and found details for the Original Roofing Organisation. Chris came round to assess the work needed and gave an approx. a quote which he followed up in writing soon after. I found him to be approachable and genuinely interested in making the roof watertight. He was able to fit me into his busy (rain-affected) schedule and the work went ahead and was completed in several stages - the repairs involved repointing the ridge and hips, relaunching and render repair to two chimneys, replacing broken tiles and organising scaffolding. I felt Chris went the extra mile to get the work finished (and scaffolding removed) in good time before Christmas. His son and the rest of the roofing team were friendly, hard-working and happy to answer all my questions and concerns. The scaffolders were courteous, tidy and fast. I will use Chris again for any further roofing work.

Chris was fantastic! We wanted to get our roof completed before Christmas & Chris went out of his way to ensure it was.

Performed major roof overhaul, consisting of repointing all ridges, repair flat roof, replacement chimney flashing, reflaunching chimney tops, repair render on all sides of one tall chimney stack, painting two chimneys, refit soffit boards and replacement broken and missing tiles. Professional execution of the work and effective dealing with additional requirements and issues as work progressed. Dedication to and pride in high quality of performance of the entire team was noteworthy. Pricing fair, considering needs for additional work and final repairs after removal of scaffolding (performed promptly). Very satisfied customer!

Having suddenly found myself with a major problem with the roof, Chris came over within an hour on a Sunday afternoon to offer advice, which was invaluable. I received a quote the following day for a number of options and I decided on a complete re-tile. Work commenced the day after giving my go-ahead. Any questions were answered to my satisfaction and I was offered multiple choices on tiles with explanations of their pros and cons. The workforce were polite and considerate and the work was explained to me in detail. Despite periods of bad weather which hindered progress, the work was completed on schedule. The end result looks great.

Chris was really honest with the work that needed doing and was reassuring after having messed around by dishonest roofer in the past. Carried out the repair with a quick turnaround and a really fair price.

We had a leak in the boiler room just before Christmas. Chris Marrable responded very quickly to my initial approach and was able to get someone out to investigate and repair the leak ( a problem with the roof valley) relatively quickly, despite the fact that it was the holiday period.

Chris was really helpful throughout: he made time to come and survey my problem, even when really busy. Communication was great. When the job changed - through no fault of anyone - he readily moved work around so he could complete my roof repair rather than rebook me in for a later date. His colleagues were helpful and friendly and were really respectful of my house and space when I wasn't there. Finally, they did great work - to time and to budget. Would recommend to anyone.

This is our first time to use this Company Cris and his team came across as very knowledgeable friendly and trustworthy, they installed 4 vents in our roof the were punctual friendly and tidy having had bad experience in the past we were nervous on deciding who to call, Cris put our minds at rest by his friendly knowledgeable and efficient team we would have no hesitation in using this company again.

I had an emergency roof problem. Chris was very prompt to come and assess the job. He advised me accordingly and gave me his honest views of the problem. I decided to have the whole roof renewed which was completed to agreed schedule, budget and more importantly to my complete satisfaction with the reassurance of their guarantee. Chris and his men were polite, professional, helpful if I had a query while the works were being carried out and kept the channel of communications open all the time. The company is to be commended for their professionalism, reliability, attendances and care. They took great care of the house while carrying the job. The aftercare was very good and they left the house in a clean and tidy state. I settled the account on completion of the works and there was no pressure put on me during the course of the works. I will strongly recommend this company to anyone. Well done Chris and you are a credit to your company.
