"Jimmy and his team recently fixed a leak in our conservatory roof. He came the same day to assess the roof and helped with interim damage control, and his team arrived the next morning to fix the problem. Everyone was really friendly and professional, and they waited until after the next rainy day to make sure the leak was fixed before requesting payment. Overall a very positive experience!"

"We had a leaking gutter and bay window. After an initial assessment, it became apparent that the problem was larger than we thought, and needed more than a quick repair. Jimmy took time to go through our options, made recommendations and followed up with a comprehensive package of work on the gutter, roof and brickwork. We were very impressed with the skills of his team, who completed the work professionally and to a high standard. They tidied up after themselves each day, did a brilliant job and even painted the window sills for us. Very highly recommended!"

I booked an appointment with James to view the job. He gave me a quote and we booked for work to be completed . The whole job was stress free as they arrived on time, kept me informed, and provided an invoice. I had brickwork replaced and damp proofing. I will definitely use them again in the future

Quick response to enquiry and called in to assess work the same day. Open and honest discussion of options and an instant quote for scope of work agreed. Arrived on time with a small team who sourced materials from a local supplier they work with. Job completed in an hour or so. No payment requested until after the first significant rainfall to make sure the problem was resolved. Truly ‘old school’ builders.

Jimmy was very honest and knowledgeable about our problem. His team Craig and Steve was excellent and was very clean, careful and thorough with the repairs, cleaning as they went and left everything super clean and tidy afterwards. They even replaced the broken and slipped tiles with restored tiles so that it would be sympathetic to the rest of the roof! It’s hard to find a specialist to trust for historic properties, I will definitely be asking Jimmy and his team to help me out again for other areas of the property.

This is the second time we used Old School Builders for their roofing expertise. Jimmy always kept us up to date with what was happening with the external scaffolding company and Jimmy’s team replaced our damaged roof felt promptly. Couldn’t recommend their services enough.
