Report
Highly recommended! The two workers who carried out the job were courteous and polite throughout and clearly explained what was required. Without any fuss, they removed the tiles, replaced the underfelt, fascias, soffits, and guttering, and de-mossed the roof. They reused the existing tiles, replacing only those that were damaged. The site was cleaned daily, with all debris removed. It was immediately clear that they are thorough and professional tradesmen. Thanks to SFPRwe would definitely use you again if we ever have any roofing issues.
