I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A.I.M North Ltd. This is an excellent firm.
Phil and team did a good job of window fascias at height, and also (I noticed) gave the gutter a clean while they were there (a wee freebie?). They re-arranged their schedule to fit around the window fitters.
Phil was really easy to communicate with, comes across as trustworthy, straight talking, can-do. I'd had quotes from other firms, who didn't have the quality of customer interaction (it seems like quite a 'macho' job, but there's no 'macho attitude' or patronising chat from Phil, which is appreciated).
The job was fairly priced and materials receipts were provided (so costs were transparent). Be careful who you go with in Edinburgh - one of the quotes was almost twice as dear as A.I.M North Ltd.
Good work Phil and team!

Phil and a colleague repaired cracks in several of our chimney skews, cleaned the gutters, and replaced slates. (It's one of these complicated Edinburgh tenement roofs.) Obviously time will tell how well it was done, but two weeks later there are no leaks despite heavy rain, so it looks good.
Excellent customer service all the way through: Phil came for an estimate, listened (which is remarkably unusual for tradesmen) to what we needed, gave a reasonable estimate in good time, showed up when he said he would, actually seemed to enjoy the work, and answered some questions even after we had paid up. Sent some photos with the both the estimate and the invoice, which was also appreciated.

Slates replaced, re-pointing to mortar around chimney. Cleaning / clearing chimney gutter.
I am delighted that AIM North were recommended to me by a friend. I can’t fault their service at all! Phil came to review my roof the day I called then e-mailed a quote with photos. Work was completed quickly and photos taken to show repairs. I would highly recommend AIM North! So pleased with their service from start to finish and quality of their work was fantastic.

Our roof had slates missing and a suspected issue with our side chimney. On contacting the company, Phil responded quickly and provided a reasonable quote for the work expected. He arrived on time to undertake the work and his communication was really good throughout, keeping us up to date on what he was doing and where works were needed.
Despite difficult weather conditions, Phil and his team mate completed the work quickly and safely. He had a really professional, friendly and pragmatic approach to the work needed & I wouldn't hesitate to use him again if we need roof works doing in the future.

We were very happy with the work undertaken by Phil. Very professional and slick organisation, they clearly know what they were doing and have left our gutters beautifully cleaned out ready for winter. They even sent us photographs of their work.
Very highly recommended

AIM North Ltd were brilliant in the work that they did. They were helpful and most importantly straight talking. They told me exactly what was needed and provided advice on what needed to be done.
On top of this they were professional, friendly and communicated extremely well with me.
I would highly recommend this company especially for somebody that doesn’t have all the knowledge or understanding regarding roof and guttering repairs and maintenance.
I am always extremely worried about cowboys and have been caught out before. AIM North are not cowboys. Thank you

Phil sealed a hard-to-access leaking pipe for us and inspected our roof to give us an idea of condition. He was professional, polite and really knew his stuff. I will happily use AIM again in the future.

AIM carried out a roof repair to a tenement block for me in Dundee. Slated repaired, repointing work, re-sealing of a skylight and clearing gutters. Even repaired a down pipe for no extra charge.
Really professional job and excellent communication from start to finish. Would definitely use again in the future!

We had a leak in our skylight. Phil came to have a look at it and arranged a date that was convenient for all. A great job and a friendly and professional guy, explained everything he was doing, showed photos of the work done at the end. Job was quicker than expected so the price ended up as being less than the original quote. It's been pouring this week and no more water coming in so the job has clearly stood up to stress testing. Would absolutely call Phil again if there was any work to be done - a complete gent. Highly recommended.

Phil Norris carried out harling repair on external walls
The work was very efficiently and economically done and I am very pleased with the result
The contractor cleaned all surrounding areas thoroughly and he was most helpful and courteous throughout. I could not expected a better outcome and am glad to have used the Trusted Trader scheme
I would have no hesitation in recommending this contractor again and would the company if circumstances required
