Hi all,

We’re looking for recommendations for a reliable roofer to repair or replace a flat roof.

We’ll need a company that can provide a Risk Assessment & Method Statement (RAMS) and proof of insurance.

We’re also looking for a company who can replace/update our ventilation system.

If you’ve used someone you’d genuinely recommend (and who turns up, communicates well, and does the job properly), please drop their details below or message us directly.

Thanks in advance!
