I had a rainwater leak through a dormer roof. Following contact, John attended within a couple of days carried out a thorough survey of the rear roof of my cottage, finding a number of broken and displaced slates and a broken cement skew at the base of a chimney. I received a prompt and reasonable quote for the repair work which was undertaken three weeks later. Johnny and his colleague did a thorough job,explained what had been found and dealt with and checked that I was happy with the work. All debris was removed and watergates and gutters cleaned. I would certainly use them again.

They examined roof round tall chimney - located the faulty area - - the ceiling had fallen down on the landing below. - a lath and plaster ceiling. Workers went up and properly examined and made safe the roof and sealed the leaking area extremely well.. Quick, efficient and very thorough and pleasant.
I Intend to have them in future to examine and check the whole roof of this old house every Autumn.
Since the above I have had them back to completely seal leaking guttering which has been bad for a number of years .

John and his team carried out refurbishment work to the roof of our recently purchased house after we discovered some leaks during the winter. Some timber and felt was renewed, broken tiles replaced, the verges were repointed, fascias repainted or replaced as necessary, and finally new gutters and downpipes were installed.
John's team are friendly, hard working and were happy to oblige when we kept thinking of more jobs that needed done.
I've used J&D roofing in the past, would use again, and would certainly recommend to others.

Replacement of valley gutters, pointing of ridges and chimneys. J & D Roofing and Building Services provided an excellent service with knowledgable, reliable, friendly and helpful staff. All work was carried out to an extremely high standard with care and attention to detail. Cost was exactly to the estimate that had been provided with extra remedial work carried out at a very reasonable price. This company takes a real pride in its work and I would have no hesitation recommending John and his team to others.

Attended promptly when I became aware of damage to dry verge caused by high winds. Became apparent that underlying problem was poor quality work carried out by a DIFFERENT company a few years ago (who had falsely claimed to be a Trusted Trader) As I have used J & D roofing on several occasions since, and been very happy with their work, I took advice to have all the dry verge replaced, which they did promptly.

Garage roof recovered.
Quick response to request for estimate then offered a date to do the work within one week. Removal of old felt revealed that some woodwork needed replacement. This was done and the job completed within a day. Standard of work looks good and site left clean and tidy.

Replaced a flat roof in just over a day. Very friendly and efficient. Apart from the new roof, you'd never know they'd been here! Very pleased.

Blocked down pipes were cleared. Given the heavy snow and freezing temperatures I was impressed by how prompt and efficient the trader was.

Really happy with the work J&D did repairing a leak in our roof in Gullane. Prompt, thorough, and great value.
We also took the step of recommending them to an elderly friend who had some problems with leaky roof and overflowing drains - she asked us to pass on her thoughts because she was thrilled with their work, their concern for her (especially during Covid) and their attention to detail. She will use them again, as will we.
We would absolutely recommend J&D to others - especially anyone a little hesitant about asking for quotes and worried about being taken advantage of. This is a company who we would recommend both for their excellent work and their great customer service, and we are still giving out their contact details to friends.

Cutting a long story short, I called John out when plumbers sent by my insurers twice failed to find the source of a water coming in through my wall and ceiling and said the problem was the roof. It took John just a few minutes to find a leaking heating pipe and no evidence of water coming through the roof.
I reported this back to the plumbers, who out came out a third time and still insisted there were no pipes in my attic just cables and that this was a roof issue. I then phoned John who spoke to the disbelieving plumber and quickly came out a second time to confirm.
The upshot is that a different plumber quickly fixed the pipe by which time had been leaking for over three weeks. Thank you very much indeed.
