Highlights
“Professional, quoted for the scope of works required and willing to adapt based on further assessment. Good time-keeping, friendly and polite manner from the colleagues that completed the work. Quotes were presented in a logical manner, nothing ‘hidden’ and payment was easy to complete. Good contact throughout and willingness to adjust the quote with changes - nothing seemed too much trouble.”
“I had a very positive experience with this company in getting the spray foam professionally remove from the bungalow roof. The person who came to view and estimate was very knowledgeable and I received a quote quickly. The team that removed the foam worked very hard and did a fantastic job in cleaning up and hoovering once they had finished. I received the inspection certificate promptly after settling the invoice. I would recommend this company. They were originally recommended by our local estate agent, where one of their other customers had recently used them and then had no issues selling”
“I contacted Countrywide Roofing & Insulation after researching companies to remove open cell spray foam insulation from our loft. This company were professional with all their communications and gave written confirmation and quotes, so there were no hidden surprise expenses. The team carrying out the remove were equally as polite and professional and did a sterling job of removal and clean up dispite the cramp and claustrophobic crawl space in our loft. Very impressed with the work carried out and every stage of communications with Countrywide, no pushy hard sell the price quoted was the price”

Ricky and the time did a fantastic job sorting out the mess that was left behind by the cowboys who sosay took the spray foam out. The people who said they had taken it out, had not but left a terrible mess. Ricky and his team worked tirelessly for 2 days and did a wonderful job. Hoovered up and left everything tidy. I would definitely recommend

Generally very pleased with work carried out , workmen always very pleasant, site left tidy.
Several years ago, we purchased government approved spray on Insulation. We were then informed that leaving Insulation on our house would condemn the roof and leave it the house unmortgageable. We scoured the Internet to get suitable company as we had several charlatans come and try to rip us off. The work took 3 days and everything involved was first class. We would highly recommend the company and to be honest we used Check a Trade to choose the company in the first place and it proved worthwhile
Great service from getting the work looked at and quoted for to getting the work completed, the lads worked hard removing the foam residue and left the area tidy upon completion, very happy with the service we received. Thanks Dave
Countrywide are a great firm to do any of your roofing work
Countrywide have just replaced our entire roof and I must say it has been a very positive experience from start to finish. They have been very thorough and well organised, ensuring that all the required trades were available when required and kept us well informed throughout the job. All of the team were polite, friendly and considerate given the significant job that was done. The finished job looks great, has been completed to a high standard and at a great price. I would not hesitate to recommend Countrywide to any of my friends in need of a great firm to do roofing work.

Brilliant company with amazing staff. Very efficient, polite, professional and hardworking. It has been a pleasure to have such a great team in the house. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone. Many thanks.
Scene to remove spray foam from my parents loft. The workmen were polite and explained the method of work etc. Work carried out as agreed.
Contacted Countrywide to get a quote for spray foam removal. Surveyor came and inspected loft and gave a very realistic quote. A team arrived on time on the arranged date and did an excellent job keeping us informed throughout the process. They cleaned up thoroughly afterwards and after payment to the Company the certificate of compliance was received. I would highly recommend Countrywide to anybody seeking removal of spray foam insulation.
We had our spray foam removed. From getting a quote to completion , the customer service team were efficient and kept us updated via phone and email. Ashley was very prompt at coming out and surveying the job beforehand. Was open and honest, even went the extra mile to keep an available slot open for us as they were booked up for the next few weeks. The two guys that came and completed the job were friendly and left the house at an acceptable standard .
I'm extremely happy to give Countrywide a positive review because from my initial enquiry to the completion of the work everything has been dealt with in a very professional manner. All appointments and installation dates were adhered too. All staff that I have spoken to have been very helpful, friendly and polite. The installation guys were extremely friendly, polite, professional and happy to answer any queries I had. Any mess was cleared before leaving every day. Having had bad experiences with other companies this was an absolute blessing. I will be happy to recommend them to anyone.
Contacted Countrywide for a quote to remove spray foam insulation from our loft. They (unlike other companies) sent out a surveyor who gave us a realistic quote which we accepted. A date and time was arranged and a team came out exactly as specified. The removal of the foam was expertly done and the entire place cleaned to remove any traces of foam deposit. Payment was only requested after the work was done and a certificate issued which any mortgage company would accept as compliance of foam removal. I would highly recommend this Company to anybody.
After worrying for months about having foam removed from our roof, and after being hassled by several cold callers, decided on using this company after reading many positive reviews. After initial contact, a surveyor visited two days later. After undertaking an extensive inspection of the roof, the surveyor advised on exactly what work would be needed, and gave us a detailed breakdown of the potential costs involved. A fabulous three man team undertook the work. We are very pleased with the results, and can highly recommend this company.

The whole process from start to finish was absolutely easy and very stress free. Having been gullible enough to have cell foam installed in the first place and enticed by government grants I was very wary about having to have it removed. From my first telephone call after an internet search an appointment was made for someone to come and assess the cell foam itself. I was given a date and details of payment. Steven and his colleague arrived promptly on the day and time arranged. They worked extremely hard and even used the industrial vacuum after to clear all the debris that remained.
I can't fault the service offered by Countrywide in our case in any way. Acting on behalf of my father we needed spray foam removed from the loft ASAP. Frederica came promptly to do a survey and was very thorough and reassuring. We booked for the work to be done and Ricky and his two colleagues came to do the work this week - even arriving on Sunday to get a head start. After a check before proceeding they worked their socks off (team of three) and completed the work to a high standard inside two days and tidied up well afterwards. Lovely guys. Many thanks

The survey and offer for the work was done in a thorough and timely manor . I didn't feel pressurized and and had a weekend to decide to go ahead . The guys who came to do the work were polite and efficient even when they had to work until nearly 10pm to complete the clean up at the end of job . Would recommend and they were cheaper than high pressure cowboy who also quoted .

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.
