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.

Colin responded quickly and did an excellent job of replacing tiles on our roof. Would recommend as the charge was reasonable for the job done.

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.

Ridge tile and flashing repairs. Colin responded to our call very quickly and came down the same day to give us a quote. Repair carried out the following day. We are very happy with Colin's work and would have no hesitation in calling on him for any future repairs.

Colin came and gave us a quote very quickly which we accepted. The two guys who work with him were polite and worked right through until job was complete. They tidied up and took all the rubbish etc away. Very pleased with the job and would recommend them.

We had gallons of water coming through our ceiling during the recent spate of torrential rain. We were recommended to contact Colin by our neighbour. Colin came out quickly and went up to have a look. He ended up fixing a slipped slate, clearing out detritus from the top of the downpipe and repointing some adjacent stonework - all for a very reasonable price. Colin was polite and professional at all times.

Very impressed with the service from LandE Roofing from point of estimates through to carrying out the work. Colin responded quickly when my roof was damaged and prompt in providing estimates for repairs. He kept me in touch at each stage, providing photos of the damage and repairs completed. The work was done quickly and on budget. Excellent service

We engaged L&E Roofing to rectify work that had been carried out by another company that wasn't functioning. From the first contact with Maryann to the completion of the job, our experience was like night and day compared to the previous contractors. Colin gave us a very fair and honest assessment of this prior work and how to fix the issue. Derek and Dylan who carried out the work were brilliant; prompt, polite, tidy etc. They were here when they said they would be, a trait which is sadly very rare it seems. Throughout the job we received visual updates, which was good to see progress but also for peace of mind, knowing that this job was ding properly. I would highly recommend L&E, many thanks.

From first contact through to the work being carried out, L & E Roofing were first class. Clear communication on when they come to assess work, when and how long they would be on site, advise re work required with options and clear costings. Team worked hard on the job and cleared up all debris afterwards. All work completed to high standard.

Have used E & L roofing on several occasions and Colin and team have always done a great job, most recently completely re-rendering of our chimney and garage. Would recommend Colin and team to anyone needing roofing work done.

Recently had works undertaken to fit new fascias and cladding, replace our old guttering and sort the dormer window roof. Colin and the team were brilliant, particularly noting we live abroad! I had daily updates by way of photos and videos, and the team worked really hard to deliver a great quality finish for us. Really impressed - absolutely trusted traders and we will certainly be using them again.
