The Roofing Crew Ltd

We highly recommend Derek and his Roofing Crew company- very professional, excellent, honest, hardworking and very fair. He and his assistant did an excellent job.

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!

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.

Great communication with Derek who thoroughly explained the work needed. His team were polite, friendly and clean in their workmanship. On completion of the job, Derek sent me photos showing the work done at various stages. Would highly recommend.

Derek project managed and his crew, his lads as he called them, repaired my roof. There was quite a bit wrong with it and more slates than quoted for needed replacing. However, he did not charge extra for them. His clear , detailed and very well presented quote was not the cheapest, but he inspired confidence and was so knowledgeable and passionate about roofs, he could easily write a thesis about them, that I chose him. I was right. He responded to phone calls swiftly, send the "crew" straight away to fix my TV cable which had been moved. He also sent me fifty before and after pictures. The crew, two of them, were courteous , cleared up after themselves, were efficient, knew what they were doing and were ready to go that extra mile. I would highly recommend The Roofing Crew.

I found Derek Little of The Roofing Crew on Which? Trusted Traders and he didn't disappoint. He gave me a very detailed quote for reroofing a free-standing garage, came a few days later and did the work in three and a half days. Now my garage looks so much better than all the others! He took lots of photos before and after, explained everything to me carefully, and was very pleasant. He even persuaded me to climb partway up his ladder so I could see what had been done! I would recommend him to anyone.

I used The Roofing Crew to overhaul a 1980s roof which was a mix of flat felted and angled tiled surfaces. They shared lots of photos from their initial survey and Derek took time over the phone to explain what needed doing and his recommendations. The work was completed as asked and they quickly came back to fix an error with the gutter fitting once I got in touch about it, without further charge.

About 15 years ago Derek Little solved a roof leak in our office after three other roofing companies failed. He did what was necessary at a lower price than the other three roofers charged for work that was poor. We have since used The Roofing Crew, on several occasions for small and major works. After decades in the business Derek has knowledge and integrity second to none. He is enthusiastic and meticulous about his work. He delights in explaining and showing photos of work that is needed and then the results of his work. I am writing this just after he has finished removing an old water tank from the roof of our semi detached house, removing rotting beams, inserting replacements, installing zinc over the area covered by the tank, repairing a brick chimney stack and replacing damaged tiles. All accomplished over 6 days by two hard working men. Derek provides photos showing what needs repairs, a detailed quotation, photos as the work progresses, and the completed job. The Roofing Team is meticulous, honest and a pleasure to deal with.

I called The Roofing Crew to check out what had been a leak, and perhaps still was, at the apex the roof of my house - a converted chapel. The first thing that impressed me was that Derek Little, the director of the company, praised the work done on my roof 20 years ago. In my experience traders normally criticise the work of previous workmen, so that immediately told me here was someone I could trust. The area around the chimney where the leak had occurred was thoroughly inspected and found sound, but he went out of his way to get his man to climb a tall ladder up to the double height ceiling of the chapel to check with a hygrometer that the area was now completely dry. Derek Little is a friendly person, alongside being professional, transparent and trustworthy. He goes that extra mile, which not many people these days, do.
