Eddie and his team were brilliant when they replaced the thatch on our medieval barn with clay tiles in July ’23 …so it was a 'no brainer' to use him again to re-roof our 3-bay garage. As usual Eddie was completely reliable and straightforward. Despite adverse weather the works were finished to the highest standard, promptly and as quoted. His hardworking team typically friendly, conscientious, efficient and tidy. The additional carpentry necessary to replace previous bad joinery was superb. All in all very happy.

The job was to re-felt a large flat roof extension, with a PVC surround. With five people working the job was completed in two days and come in under quote as there was an unforeseen problem. There were a few other issues on the main roof, which were dealt with as well. Altogether very helpful and a pleasant crew to have around.

The work carried out by Traditional Roofing involved preparing and repointing the top 17 courses of brickwork on our chimney stack, applying a water seal and installing a solid fuel cowl to the chimney pot. Eddie and his team carried out the work promptly and efficiently and according to the quote details and cost. He was very professional, gave clear information and timely communication. Before and after photos of the chimney were provided. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this trader.

Replacement roof and flashing

I employed 2 roofers prior to Eddie. Neither resolved a recurring problem on a section of roof and despite efforts to ask them back, they never did. So I was wary asking another roofer. However, Eddie is completely different. He is refreshing and reassuring. He understood my concerns and genuinely listened to what I wanted done. He also didn't do anymore than was necessary. We agreed to replace a section of roofing (to include new flashings etc) and to repoint a chimney (which was repointed badly by one of the other roofers). Eddie and his employees were polite, friendly and incredibly tidy in their work. I have no hesitation in recommending him and the team and will use their services again when needed. Thank you!

Make no mistake …Eddie is the real deal. Having wasted months dealing with an assortment of roofers messing us around ...(some not bothered or courteous enough to return my initial email enquiry …others unable to keep a simple appointment) ...Eddie was like a breath of fresh air. He was reliable, professional, enthusiastic, prompt with his estimate, had 30 years worth of experience and had a completely realistic approach to costing. We wanted a dependable company to replace the worn out thatch roof on our medieval barn conversion with clay tiles and to add roof lights and 'Traditional Roofing' were the ones entrusted with the job. The transformation to our roof was stunning ...no easy task as the roof had a characterful 200 year wane to it, furthermore his workforce were friendly, skilful, hard working, polite and tidy. Very happy and thank you guys, thoroughly recommended.

Eddie and team reroofed our house during a renovation and extension project 4 years ago. The quality of the product used is excellent, he and the team were able to come up with innovative yet simple ways of joining the extension and the main house taking account of the unique shapes and requirements for roof lights. We recently had a small issue with a slate and the team came round and fixed it on a Sunday, quickly with no fuss. Can't recommend highly enough.

Eddie promptly replied to my initial enquiry and from then on we have been impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of both him and his team. The quote was reasonable and laid out exactly what needed to be done to ensure our cottage roof became watertight again. The work was planned in a difficult week of both high temperatures and pouring rain. Nevertheless they worked long hours, when the weather permitted, so they completed the work quickly. They arrived punctually in the morning and every evening and at the end of the job, the site was left very tidy. We would highly recommend Eddie's business to anyone who has a roofing problem.

From start to finish this company was extremely professional, as well as being friendly & helpful. Eddie (the owner) even came early Sunday morning when my loft was flooding (hence the chimney repair he had to do). He swiftly set up scaffolding & did work immediately after. He even came back to do extra bit he noticed which wasn't on original estimate. He also brought me milk, eggs & loaf as I was stuck in. I was most impressed.
