Others have done this sort of thing on here so I thought I would have a go!
Anyone recommend any good roofing contractors? I've got a leak and have also been watching too many programmes on "Rogue Traders". Smallish job I should imagine. Trouble is I don't know enough about roofs not to be fed bull****. |

I have used E W Malone Roofing for a small job and they were quick and reasonable.

The assumption made is a flat roof. That's what Malone and Co do. If it's clay tiles or slates you need a builder. There is some new technology about now which uses rubber rather than felt, tar and flaming torches. Easy Peasy DIY job no flame, comes as a single piece kit and has a fifty year warranty. I have used it and it was so simple and ended up with a perfect roof. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rubber-Roof-Kit-...=item416b0f1193 |

I was wondering what I could do to replace a traditional flat roof covering, yet again - the link was great, thanks for the tip! Newbury Roofing re-roofed my garage with felt-very quick service, used him as insurance company told me to & was not disappointed with result. Mark Martin has fixed tiled roof in 2 of my houses & done work for lots of friends & family-genuinely great job every time & always a good price, trust him to fix it without fuss. If it's a flat roof you want, we've just had an EPDM roof put on an extention having researched it & we're pleased with it so far. The builder we used was Roy Russell from Compton-he was brilluant, good price, great job, considerate, kept to time scale & delivered exactly what he promised.Top job. Good luck! |
