“The contractors, CG Roofing Specialists Ltd. undertook comprehensive refurbishment of an extensive tiled roof and chimney stack, including flashing repairs, refitting/repointing of tiles, cleaning, moss removal and moss prevention treatment. The work was carried out to a very high standard, consistent with the specification provided by the contractor. The site was kept clean and tidy at all times and all waste materials were removed when the work was complete. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this company.”

Highlights
“Craig is clearly an expert at his work. He and his team did an excellent job renewing two areas of flat roofing on our house that were getting towards the end of their life. He recommended the most appropriate and cost effective solutions for each. Sections of guttering were also replaced or repaired, again in the most cost effective way, and valley repairs were carried out very thoroughly. Everything was left vey tidy, as if they had never been there. Cost was as per the original quote and price competitive. Really impressed and would not hesitate to recommend to others.”
“Craig was recommended to us and he did a fantastic job. He kept us informed throughout, was always on time extremely polite nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend this hard working young man”

Craig and his boys have done a top job with the work carried out on my roof. Extremely tidy and very professional. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs and work doing to their roofs. Thank you once again!!

We would use Craig and his team again and would recommend Craig to any of our neighbours and friends. (And did so.) They did a good job (they know I was checking as the work progressed). Craig kept to his quote. Which was much better value than a number of others I had. Craig also made suggestions when quoting the job which nobody else had thought of and were great options we took up. Craig’s team were respectful and polite and given the job they were doing, they were tidy. The only issue for us was when the start date changing and how long it took.

Top quality job, great attention to detail. I did my research before I called Craig, I have an old Victorian property and wanted someone skilled at working with these materials. Very high quality skilled tradesman. Very satisfied, highly recommended.

Craig turned up when he said he would and provided a quote by the date he said it would be sent. The quote was very competitive. Work has been completed and so far so good.

Craig responded quickly to my request, assessed the work required and quoted me a price. He completed the work early the following week as agreed and the roof looks perfect, with all the broken tiles replaced and all debris taken away. It looks as if he hasn't been here at all! Great service and highly recommended.

Craig was very professional and performed an excellent job. He came round quickly to assess what needed doing and after receiving the quote we decided to get him to carry out the work. He arrived on time and work was completed as promised and would have hesitation in recommending him.

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
