We'd had a few issues with other roofers. Finding Ian was like a breath of fresh air. Honest, hard working and very skilled. Highest recommendation - just wish we'd found him sooner!

Report
We've used Ian and Co for a few jobs over the past few years - from patch-up jobs to a whole new roof. Ian has always been the one to visit and quote and he has offered the best-suited solutions for us every time. He works flexibly to our needs (and still manages to finish on time!) and is incredibly accommodating (letting us pop a few things in his skip most recently!). Everything is included in the first quote, even the extras such as the skip and scaffolding which some companies can "miss-off" and add on at the end, making your final quote a bit heftier than expected!
Anything that does need to be added on (e.g. a few replacement tiles) is always agreed with us first. They always do a really thorough and professional job at a very reasonable price and we'd recommend Heritage Roofing to anyone.
