dulcet69 23-07-2007, 12:07 Hi someone has been recommended to us and he is coming out tomorrow - I work with his partner and understand that he is very good, fair priced and an honest bloke. Will let you know what we think when hes been out. regard sue
fordstar 23-07-2007, 12:15 thanks sue would appreciate that!!
bloody weather!!!
Stuart from All Build Construction has just done our flashings and lead bay roof - very good, and half the price of the other quote from a well-known firm (Former James Bond, first name Timothy). Think his number is 07984880806 - though haven't a card to hand, so might be wrong.

Unfortunately good and cheap don't go hand in hand, I can thoroughly recommend Sothall roofing and Martin Brooks, with a roof it's not worth taking risks and you do get what you pay for.

The ones who grin at us from all those free glossy magazines we keep getting pushed through our letterbox! Frankly, I find the pair of them quite scary.
I've used http://www.cdroofing.org.uk/
before and they seemed to be quite good.Arrived as promised and did a good job(lead flashings)
hillsbro 05-01-2008, 18:40 As "Twitcher" noted, good and cheap don't go hand in hand, but I'd recommend Crofts of Dykes Hall Road. It's an old-established family business - Simon Croft's great-grandfather was roofing new houses in Hillsborough in the 1890s. Website: http://www.f-croft.freeserve.co.uk/
my partner is a roofer . what kind of flashings, please specify .

sheffandy 06-01-2008, 10:22 Search on sheffield forum for the thread on Martin Brooks Roofing.
This thread should help.We did use them and they did a first class job putting right a job that someone made a mess of.NEVER spend cheap on a roof is my advice.
pippadoll 06-01-2008, 10:45 We used Martin Brookes six years ago; they were fantastic in every respect. But not cheap. Not sure if they do small jobs.
Twitcher 06-01-2008, 11:01 I too had Martin Brooks roofing some years ago, superb job but not cheap, however I am sure (having an acquanitance who works there) that their main work is now commercial, ie churches schools etc. Give them a call they're very professional and it's worth a quote for comparision and they'll tell you exactly what you need. We had one roofer who said he wanted to put concrete tiles on our house (slated at present) it was clear that the structure could not take concrete tiles (marleys) so get the best advice and go from there.
matandtam 06-01-2008, 19:15 Would very very strongly recommend ABA ROOFING on 2746533. Carl has roofed three of our houses, and numerous freind's houses - and everyone has been pleased with price and quality of work. Most recently we moved to a large house - Carl's quotes mateched the average of the other three quotes that the people we were buying from got in. The big difference? They all quoted for replacing with the cheapest tiles on the market, but Carl used the cheap ones on the back of the property but recycled ones from the back and front made of Welsh Slate, so that the front of the house kept its 'appearance'. This was far more time consuming but has made a huge difference to the appearance of the house (and in terms of landfill!) - if we had bought new welsh slate, just for the front of the house, the cheapest quote was £7,500!!!! He also re-fixed some huge leaded work we have over our bay windows which none of the other roofers had even considered, and which we thought we would need a different builder for.
Really can't recommend him enough - very friendly, family run business (employs his two sons) - will give you a no obligation quote and be honest about when he can do the work - and will turn up then too!
