S Allison Building & Roofing

Stuart provided an excellent service. He was quick to contact me when I enquired through trusted trader. He turned up when he said he would and kept us informed of progress at all times. Would definitely use him again and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Chimney repointed and ridge tiles fixed as well as other work completed on roof. Stewart did an excellent job for us. He got back to me quickly after my initial call and communicated to me what work would be carried out and when. The quality of the work was to a high standard. I can thoroughly recommend S. Allison Building and Roofing and would use him again.

Response to my phone call was excellent as there was rainwater coming in through the chimney flashing! He arrived quickly and the quote was done immediately and repair work carried out a few days later. Other problems with loose ridge tiles sorted out as well. Very pleased to have Mr Allison doing the work. A very reassuring experienced roofer who was able to not only mend the roof but gave us advice about looking after a roof on a bungalow where moss is a problem. Fully recommend this trader for his knowledge and skills.

Stuart didn't supply the cheapest quote, nor the most expensive, but he seemed a genuine guy who knew his stuff. (I've used a 'cheap' roofer in the past [not Stuart, I may add] and was left with a bad patch-up job after I was told that more work was needed than originally quoted for.)
Stuart listened to what I was wanting done - to clear off the cement on both sides of a gable end replace with new in order to prevent water leaking into the house - then did it and did it well.
Stuart is easy to get on with and a hard worker and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I recommend Stewart very highly. He took our horrible, broken-down outhouses, waved his magic wand and turned them into a beautiful summer house, with a perfectly-tiled roof, shining white walls and French windows. He also fixed the gutters on our cottage, far better than I have ever managed to do. Stuart is a hard worker, fine craftsman, master builder, great company and man of integrity - and if you ask him nicely, he may bring his very smart and friendly dog along.

Quick to respond to enquiry. Work completed to high standard. Would highly recommend.

Our roof developed a leak, dripping rainwater onto a bedroom ceiling. Urgent action needed to stop damage developing into expensive repairs. Contacted Stuart on a Saturday and he promised to arrive later same day to perform an initial assessment. He arrived, took a look and promised to return following day to perform further investigation. This he did, detected the problem and carried out the work. A simple repair in the end, needing a new roof tile to replace a broken one not visible from ground level.

I was impressed with Stuart’s friendly, professional attitude and approach. At all times I felt I was in good hands. When Stuart promised to attend he kept his promise and communicated well. His charge for the work was fair. I would use Stuart’s services again without hesitation.

Repairs to slate roof, chimney capping repair and repair to rainwater guttering. All work requested has been completed within the originally estimated time and with only a minor cost overrun due to extra materials being needed. The job was done promptly, efficiently, with friendly enthusiasm. All areas of the work were cleaned up after completion. Very satisfied with the work and the way it was done, thank you. I will contact Stuart first when more work is required.

We had missing hip tiles replaced and Stewart also went to great lengths to source and replace wrong sized hip tiles which had been put in place previously. Also had chimney stacks covered with caps and spikes placed on chimney to prevent problematic seagulls from nesting.
Stewart was very efficient and timely with his quote and starting the work. Keeping myself informed of all the works being carried out. Would definitely recommend Stewart to others.

Emergency clear out of moss along edge of roof. Stuart came out on a Sunday morning to do the work. On time and did a swift job. Advice on future prevention of moss build up.
Do not hesitate to contact him!

Stuart carried out all our external work including removal of old rhones and fit new rhones front and rear plus new straps at the rear; paint all new rhones and downpipe; chimney cap; fill in around windows front and rear; repair and patch harling; patch front plinth with apoxy mortar.

All work completed to an excellent standard.

Great to have such a knowledgeable, reliable and friendly builder and roofer. Stewart is extremely helpful and has an excellent eye for the aesthetic as well as for the practical requirements of specific repairs - and for the overall look of the complete job. If you need reassurance and a good reliable job (and good value) - call Stewart.

I would certainly recommend Mr Allison for any outside work you might need.

He came promptly and gave a very competitive quote for the repair of botched repairs someone else had done. He cleared the old stuff away, replaced the rhones with cast iron and fixed broken roof tiles.

He worked In an orderly and diligent manner, coming when he said he would and was very happy to tell me what he was doing by way of the work.

If I ever need any more work on my house done, which no doubt I will, I will certainly contact Mr Allison as my first port of call for help with all building / outside work.

Very capable and friendly company .

Remove gutter, clean, straighten brackets and replace.  Repair connection to down pipe.  Check and clean all gutters using hose.  Gutters at 3rd floor level: Very helpful - responded quickly to request and discussed options and costs.  Carried out work quickly and professionally.  Offered to check all other gutters and clean these without being asked.  Cleaned up after completion.  This is the second time I have used Mr Allison - would recommend highly.

Investigate and repair leak in and around skylight window on roof.  Remove and renew skews on front and back of roof: Stuart completed an excellent roof repair. He was always prompt and kept us fully informed on the progress of the work.  He cut no corners on the job making sure that the repair was done correctly.  I am confident that his repair will be long lasting.  I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart to anyone who requires roofing work done.

Re-slating after rot found under old slates following leak: Excellent work, have already recommended.

Fitted lead covers on the copes of my house.  Supplied and fitted new rhones.  Replaced missing and broken slates: Over many years Stuart Allison has completed many repairs to my house including re-roofing most of it.  His work is always of the highest quality - he is never content with just a temporary patch job, but always prefers a long lasting permanent repair.  Whenever I have a problem he comes straightaway, even at weekends.

Slates replaced, chimneys re-pointed, valley gutters replaced: Excellent work.  Delighted and would highly recommend.
