Cannot fault Colin and his team.

My Mother had multiple issues with her roof, and had tried another Company on several occasions, without success. Colin was recommended to us and he reluctantly took on the corrective work which resulted in a completely new roof having to be installed to ensure that it was fit for purpose. Having tried in vain to rectify the existing roof, Colin took into account this failed remedial work when quoting for the larger job. Derek, Dylan and the team carried out the works during a period of mixed weather and I was sent photos of the work as it was completed - excellent Communication and meant I didn’t have to be present throughout the works. Thanks also to Maryann who was very efficient and helpful any time we had to contact the office.

Would definitely recommend and use again should the occasion arise.

Colin and Derek did a great job replacing and painting all guttering very reasonably priced. Easy to communicate with and cleared up after themselves. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others

We had an excellent service from Colin, Derek and Derek of L & E Roofing from initial enquiry through to completion of the work of quite a large roof repair. All emails were answered the same day, the estimate was very detailed and Colin gave us a daily update, with photos, of the work as it progressed. All the workmen were friendly, helpful and arrived on time/as stated. The area was left tidy and clean at the end of each day. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and indeed intend to take out their maintenance service contract.

Chimney repair, ridge tile replacement, flat roof repair, slates replaced.
From initial contact with Colin to the completion of the work, we’ve been delighted with the high level of customer service and excellent workmanship.
The roofers turned up when they said they would. If there was any change of plan, Colin always let us know. On site we had no complaints at all. The roofers were polite, hard working and friendly. We’d certainly have no hesitation in recommending L&E Roofing Contractors.

Over the last five years, since moving into the house, I have had the extension re-slated, the flat roofs of the garage and bay windows re-felted, a velux installed in the loft, repair work done on the main roof and chimneys, the 1930s garden pavilion re-shingled and twice a year maintenance checks carried out, which have identified genuine problems (e.g. with patches of harling) which would have become very much worse had they not been dealt with extremely efficiently and quickly. I have been consistently happy with L&E Roofing - the speed with which calls are responded to (e.g. after damage caused by high winds) is really quite something, and the personalised quality of the service-provision is outstanding.

After high winds some ridge tiles had come loose and we needed all the ridge tiles checked as we were unhappy with previous work by another roofer.
Colin came promptly and discussed the job, advising that all the ridge needed removed, old mortar cleaned off and then reattached.
His quote seemed reasonable.
Work commenced a few weeks later (it had been stormy so he was very busy)
The team of roofers were very pleasant and helpful, informing us of what was happening at every stage.
Work was completed in a few days and the team made sure the garden was cleaned up
We are very happy with the work done and the attention to detail at all stages of the job

Colin responded very quickly to our concerns about a discoloured patch on our bathroom ceiling which appeared to be damp and after careful inspection he recommended an appropriate associate to identify and resolve the issue. We would highly recommend him for his knowledge, prompt response and professionalism.

Colin and his team did a great job replacing 40+ slates on a pitch roof, repointing two skews, pointing copes and waterproofing a portion of a flat roof which had failed. The quote was extremely competitive and Colin found a way to offer days that were suitable to both me and my partner. The team was very friendly, polite and made sure we knew what was happening at different stages (clear quote, emails, pictures, conversations, etc...).
The completed work looks great, the team thouroughly cleaned the work site and were very respectful of the property. I really hope we get a chance to hire Colin's services again next time we need work done to the property. Thank you guys.

Phoned L&E roofing Contractors to come take a look at my roof problems .
I had phoned 2 other Roofing contractors to no avail!
Colin came out when he said he would and provided an emailed quote by that same evening .
The quote was very fair for the amount of work and awkwardness of job needed .
The work was done to a very high standard ( my husband is an architect ! ) we were both delighted by the service provided by L&E Roofing .
We would highly recommend and use again ...

Very professional, trustworthy company - guttering replaced, roof given a service with minor repairs advised as being required (so no unnecessary work undertaken), as well as repairs to the garden wall, all at a very reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend L & E Roofing - Colin and his team are friendly, offer good advice and do what they say they will do, when they say they’ll do it. Excellent service and value for money.

Silver cowl had to be re-situated back onto the top of the chimney after working loose in the recent storms. Also had several tiles replaced at the same time. Colin responded quickly to my emails and did the work within a couple of days which was much appreciated.

We have a contract with L & E to look after the roof, guttering etc. A leak has appeared in the roof beside a dormer window. This has necessitated re-slating of part of the dormer and re design of the valley between the dormer and main roof.
The work was carried out in a day by L & E and has fixed the problem

The roughcasting had come loose on my chimney due to the weather.
I convinced myself the whole house was needing re-done and was letting my mind run wild about the expense.
I phoned L and E at 3pm and he arrived first thing next morning to assess the job.
Mr Edwards quickly assured me that the job wasn't as big as I had first thought and talked me out of having the whole house done.
An estimate was sent within 2 hours and upon acceptance, Mr Edward's had his staff along making safe the loose roughcast as I have small kids running wild.
2 days later the scaffolding arrived followed by the squad from L and E who had the job done in a day and a half.
I'm delighted with the work done, overall cost and the time it took to complete.
Mr Edwards is a thoroughly decent bloke, polite and professional and I will have no hesitation to call upon his services again should the need arise.
Highly recommended.
Thanks again.

Clearing of blocked guttering and re attachment of a vent cover on the gable end of the house.

Colin and his staff were brilliant. Quote and work explained were very clear and they worked quickly without any issue and made sure everything was tidy before leaving.

Will certainly use them again.

Colin and his team arrived promptly on the date agreed.
The work that was carried out was to replace the Welsh slate under Velux window, remove all rusty ridge straps and supply and fit new galvanised ones and to fit back a lead capping piece which had fallen off. All valleys were painted , lead gutters cleaned out and all debris removed. A tidy job.
All the work was carried out by Darren and Dillon who worked consciously, were very polite and competent. They are a credit to the business.
Colin and his team will be returning before the winter sets in to repair and re-point the sandstone on my cottage.
I would recommend Colin and his team to anyone who wants a professional job doing with tradesmen who know their stuff.

Very pleased with the service provided by L & E Roofing. Colin provided a prompt quote for re-slating a 4m x 3m lower section of leaking roof, to include new close boarding where necessary, breathable membrane, new lead work and overhaul of the old cast-iron skylight. The two actual ‘workers’ – Derek and Dylan – were very good and the ‘new’ roof looks fantastic. Although I knew some of the close boards were rotten and needed replacing, when the slates were totally removed it was obvious that far more boards needed replacing than were originally quoted for and a price increase was justified. Throughout the five days it took, Derek and Dylan worked hard all day, kept me updated and were pleasant and polite. Colin, who always responds quickly to emails/requests, was also a regular visitor. At the end they cleared up all the mess, took down the scaffolding platform in case the scaffolders were slow coming back, and left me a happy customer. While it has taken some months from quote to completion (weather, work load, holidays etc played a big part), I will want L & E Roofing back when it is time to overhaul the next section of my 150 year old roof.
