About

The business was founded over 32 years ago by Derek Little. A film cameraman and mountaineer in a previous life, Derek became a roofer as a way of making a living in his local area of London. In 1985, he set himself up as a one man outfit, and was a familiar sight on roofs around Stoke Newington.

After two decades of roofing experience, in 2006 Derek incorporated his business as The Roofing Crew Ltd. The company continues to provide top-quality roofing services across London.

It is a business that has been built on word of mouth. In fact, around 40% of the work we do still comes from recommendations, a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship, hard work and honest pricing.

The Roofing Crew carried out a reflashing of the walls of the main roof. Derek provided a comprehensive quote and even though there was a long delay from our side (getting all the Leaseholders to agree), once we agreed to use the Roofing Crew, work started quickly and was completed on time. I found Derek's guys to be pleasant and efficient. They turned up every day and just got on with the job. I just wish other traders would take a leaf out of their book.

I've had the Roofing Crew work for me on two separate jobs over the past twelve months and both times, I've found their work to be a very high standard. Derek has been been a huge help and the guys who work for him have done their jobs efficiently and effectively. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again.

I have a side extension to the house and the box gutter is 5 meters long. Derek came and then provided a very detailed quote for the work. The work was to take 2 men 4.5 days and the supply and fit price of the quote was exactly what the final bill came to. I have been in the building trade my whole life and knew from my discussions with Derek and his quote that he also know exactly how to do the job. It is great that Which have a Recommended Trader which turned out to be exactly what I needed.

Derek from the Roofing Crew was very clear about explaining the work that was carried out; he told me that my slate roof did not need replacing but only repairing (unlike another quote I received). His team were punctual, polite and professional.

Derek and his colleagues inspected my roof after I consulted them about long-term gradual water ingress into the ceiling. They showed me by way of many good photos the nature of the likely problem at the edges of the roof and assured me that the rest of the roof was fine, only the edges needed reinstating correctly. At no point does Derek ever upsell a job to cost you more money, such as by encouraging work that is not necessary. Communication was good, and I understood the problem. The job was completed with very little disruption over two weeks, while they coped around poor spring weather. This has been the third roof I have had worked on by the Roofing Crew, and I would not hesitate to recommend them on all bases. I shall be consulting them about yet another roof at work quite soon!

The Roofing Crew replaced a valley on the roof of my house which is more than 100 years old

I contacted Derek Little on the advice of a neighbour who has recently had a similar repair carried out by The Roofing Crew. Just talking to Derek over the phone made me feel confident that he would do an excellent job as his wide roofing experience was obvious. A detailed quote arrived very soon together with photos showing what needed replacing on the crumbling valley. Two of his crew were soon on the job and they kept me fully informed on how the job was going. They did everything that was set out in the quote and when the job was completed I was asked to pay precisely the total on the original quote. Also a second batch of photos appeared showing the new valley. Having The Roofing Crew on the job was a painless experience and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

A new flat roof that seemed simple, ended up being a really tricky job. But nothing phased Derek and his team. His depth of knowledge of working on every sort of roof under the sun over 30 years or more filled you with confidence. The whole team were polite, hard working and did a great job. I can't recommend them highly enough.
