Really good experience and came to quote same day I called them. We agreed what works had to be done and a date. Arrived on the agreed date and completed the agreed work quickly and to an excellent standard. Excellent people and Company to deal with and highly recommend them.
I hired Tom too do the UPVC cladding ,Fascia & guttering ect , the job started on the 19.6 and completed today the 23.6. First class job, excellent workers, clean & tidy , very easy too chat with, I would highly recommend this company too anyone .
Excellent prompt, efficient, friendly service. Very pleased with work and job was completed on time.
This is now the third time Forrest Roofing has undertaken work for me, and it's due to their professionalism and very high standards of workmanship that they will always be my roofers of choice. This job was a complete roof replacement. James and Tom worked incredibly hard every day and they respected my property as they worked. I am delighted with the final result and have complete reassurance that the roof will be sound, waterproof and last for many years to come. I can highly recommend their skills and services to anyone looking for competent roofers. Thank you Forrest Roofing!!
Another job well done from Forrest Roofing. James and Tom and very easy to have around your property, work very hard, and deliver good results at a good price. From initial phone call to initial visit is very quick, usually just one or two days. Quotes are communicated clearly and, if any additional work is required after initial investigations, James and Tom show video evidence of the damage or work required so that you can be confident that you’re not being scammed. Everything is tidied up thoroughly after any work is completed. Forrest Roofing has done work for me three times now, mostly at very stressful times, and they can be trusted to go a good job. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

They contracted me quickly interested in the job. A few days later they arranged a day for the work to be done. Luckily they were nearby and contacted me to do the job a day sooner. They were quick and got my roof fixed. They were friendly and I would contact them again if I need any more work done.

From the word ‘GO ‘ Forrest Roofing meticulously worked through each task starting with the Quote for Cleaning and then Painting our Roof. The Owner Andrew explained each stage that the work involved and how long it would take and clearly answered any questions that we asked him. When the work began, his Team covered the garden bushes and flower boxes with Tarpaulins to protect them and worked solidly throughout the day, finally sweeping and hosing everything away on the Ground. Painting the Roof with 2 coats a few days later we had a BEAUTIFUL ROOF . 1st CLASS Workmanship from FORREST ROOFING
Verified by CheckatradeReplacing two layers of felt on a flat roof and soffit and facias.
Forrest Roofing supplied a quotation quickly and once accepted they turned up one week later to do the job which was completed in one day. I'm very happy with the quality of the workmanship and materials and once finished they left the site clean and tidy, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would recommend them for any roofing job. A professional outfit.

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.
