Had roughcasting replaced in a particularly awkward place. Colin came and gave a very reasonable quote. His workers came when he said they would. Due to location of damaged rendering they had to work off neighbour's roof. They treated the job with respect and took videos for me to show neighbours the work done and the fact their roof was intact after works to their satisfaction. They actually found issues with the flashing on neighbours roof which they repaired. After works they tidied up as completely as they could. During works Colin's workers were courteous and answered any queries.
Neighbours have commented on the job, both the works done and the matching of the rendering. One neighbour in particular asked about the East Lothian Trust a Trader sticker on Colin's works vans.
Happy with works done and would use L & E Roofing Contractors again and would recommend them to friends.

I have used L&E Roofing for many years, for routine roof maintenance and occasional call-outs for storm damage or leaks. They have always attended promptly, diagnosed problems accurately and dealt with them successfully.
Recently they have installed ridge tiles on our bungalow, to replace some ugly roofing tape which had been left by previous owners. The job was efficiently done over three days and we were delighted with the result which is a great improvement in the visual appearance of the house. Attention was paid to make the best match of new and existing ridges. At their suggestion, and at no extra charge, they also did some cleaning and painting work, mainly of a chimney stack which was long-overdue and has also greatly improved appearance.
Colin and his colleagues are always very pleasant to deal with, and happy to give advice on anything needing done.

Colin’s team completed gutter clearance for us and fixed some leaking joints on the guttering. Work completed promptly following quote. We will definitely use L&E again for future roof repairs.

Colin recommended changing our guttering for a larger profile which would help the water flow. I decided not to do this in the first instance, then Colin offered to clean out the gutters free of charge. This was duly done.

Colin arrived when he said he would and did a first class job. Hard to tell they had been as all work areas left clean and tidy - and old material removed. Would have no hesitation in recommending Colin and his team and will definitely use again for any further work.

Some of my roof tiles needed replaced or secured. Response to my request for a quote was dealt with with minimal delay and when a date was set for the work to be done, the roofers carried out the work exactly as I had expected. The men were polite, friendly and very efficient. They did excellent work and I would have no hesitation in recommending L & E roofing contractors to anyone and I would certainly use them again if and when necessary. Finally, a thank you to Maryann for her exceptional organising skills. Well done everyone at L&E.

Colin from L&E Roofing helped repair my elderly mum's roof earlier this year. The service was excellent. Very happy with service.

Colin was recommended to us by a close friend, and when he came to quote we realised that he'd been here 15 years before for work on the rhones. Good to get a company with a long established reputation.
We needed some repairs to valleys and chimney stack, and had some slipped slates. We also wanted our flat roof renewed before it started to cause problems, and to have some insulation panels added to try to cut our heating bills. He came back to us very quickly with a good price and was able to start work within a few weeks. The roofers were reliable and friendly, and we got daily photos from Colin of the work as it progressed (very helpful, as we can't get up there to see it for ourselves). The work was done on time and on budget - he even got the guys to fix a leaking gutter I just spotted during the works.
Only issue is the delay in getting the scaffolding down - but that's contracted to another company and they have been affected by Covid so I'm not upset about it.
We have recommended Colin to neighbours and family for other works.

Colin and the team did a roof repair to our block of flats, replacing all broken tiles, ridges, guttering, flashing etc. They also painted all new cast iron guttering and downpipes. They discovered cracked rendering on one of the chimneys which they promptly repaired. This fixed a leak which other roofers had been unable to resolve. Colin's communication and professionalism was second to none. He sent us daily updates and photos tracking the progress of the work. I am very happy with the work done by L & E Roofing and would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs roofing work done. We have finally found a reliable, trustworthy roofer!

Small repair to leaking guttering at the front of the house required. Colin responded to our initial enquiry straight away and arrived when he said he would. Friendly and helpful and completed the job in no time - without charging for the work! Would definitely use this firm again for any future work and highly recommend.

Had a leaking roof and contacted colin who was kind enough to visit the next again morning. He examined the felting and tests the drainage identifying that it was in fact a plumbing issue. Despite his time he wouldnt accept any payment instead suggesting a just leave a review.
Nice chap , really helpful. Would 100% use again

Could not be happier with Colin and his team at L&E Roofing.
My Mother in Law recently lost her husband and soon after the roof needed some urgent repairs (partly caused by another roofing company who did a bad job) which only added to her stress levels!
Colin was recommended to me by a friend who also had work done so I gave him a call to see if he could help.
He was very polite and respectful of the situation, gave great advice, provided a very competitive quote, delivered the job ahead of schedule and to a level of quality well beyond what we hoped for. He even carried out some additional works without charge.
No need to look elsewhere. Go with Colin and his team. You'll not be disappointed.
Cheers.

After dealing with 3 companies who did not repair the roof leak, my fault for not checking out Trusted Trader, I contacted L&E Roofing who replied quickly, came out to look at the job next day and while he was here I asked about painting the gutters and downpipes. He emailed a very reasonable quote within a few hours and fitted me into his schedule a couple of weeks later. Colin and his team are highly professional, reliable and trustworthy. A first class job and would highly recommend.

Colin and his team removed old cladding from the exterior of the house and replaced it with new. They also resolved a long standing window issue with a great fix. The work was organised and efficient and left in a tidy state. Great job and would recommend highly to anyone needing similar work.

Colin and the Dereks were brilliant from start to finish. We had an unusual half finished flat roof which needed finishing off. They weren't put off by this, gave a timely quote and fitted us in quickly. On the day the team arrived promptly and carried out the work to a high standard. Delighted with the work and would definitely recommend/use again.

The roof was cleared of moss and some gable end pointing carried out. The workmen arrived promptly each morning and worked hard all day. They were very polite and cleared up afterwards. Really happy with all aspects of the job.

Colin and his team were great. Provided helpful advice prior to agreement on the job which was very competitively priced and was left with a good impression.
During the job the guys were friendly, approachable with a good work ethic. They did a great job and we are very happy.
Was impressed with the clean up job they provided at the end which I thought was a great way to end the job. Would definitely recommend and would be happy to use them again for one of their other services.

Colin gave a very competitive price. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently. When asked to return to fix a problem due to high winds Colin quickly remedied the issue for us.
