Matt and his colleague did an excellent job on the roof! They were very professional and responsive from the get go - from the quote stage all the way through to completion. They worked very quickly, and really went above and beyond to make sure all aspects of the work were spotless. We really appreciated Matts transparency and he was very communicative and helpful. We would 100% recommend him and his company, and all around they were just lovely blokes!

After being let down by multiple roofers I was lucky enough to come across Matt's details on Google, and I'm so pleased I did. From the first contact on the phone Matt was helpful, friendly, efficient and most of all professional. Matt carried out repairs to our flat roof to a really high standard, everything was cleared away and cleaned to a shine. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Flat Roofing Specialists, Matt is fab!

Highly recommend this company, Matt managed to fit in a small job for me today, replacing half a dozen missing roof tiles on my house in Hythe, after finishing off a much bigger project in Folkestone. Very professional and I will definitely call Matt again.

The service I received was exceptional on such short notice. The professionalism demonstrated prevented further damage to my house which was greatly appreciated. Furthermore, there was no hidden cost associated with the works which reflects a high standard of transparency which was refreshing. Based on this positive experience would 100% utilise in the future

Although our problem did not involve a flat roof, we received a prompt response to our contact about a leak in our bathroom ceiling from an area of the loft we couldn't get to. The problem was quickly identified as coming from faulty connections on the soil pipe. It was fixed immediately and the connection sealed to prevent reoccurrence. We thoroughly appreciated being kept in the loop throughout in such a friendly way. Consequently we were confident that the problem had been resolved with care and thoroughness. We would recommend contacting this company.

Did a great job on our roof fixing damage caused by bad weather. Really friendly and reliable service, I found it easy to trust Matt from the start - the work exceeded expectations - looks as good as new, you would never know there was any damage!

"Storm Ciarn hit over night Wednesday, contacted Matt on Thursday afternoon, Friday morning Matt had completed our roof repair! I don't leave reviews often but this certainly warrants one. Thanks again Matt"

Matt and his workers replaced my old, leaky flat roof with a nice glass fibre one. The work was done quickly, tidily, professionally, and at a very reasonable price. I can recommend this company without reservation.
