A great job completed and on time too.

Phil communicated fully from start to finish, issued a detailed report before undertaking the job with a full breakdown of costs and images of the issues that needed to be resolved.

The work was undertaken swiftly and efficiently with a follow up report and images of completed work.

The overall cost of the job was half that of the next quote with exactly the same results.

Highly recommended trader!

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

Phil did an overhaul of our tenement roof. He was thorough and professional and did some extra pointing without charging us. We have used Phil"s services a number of times and will continue to do so. Thoroughly recommended

AIM North Ltd are the best roofers I’ve used in over 40 years. As well as communicating well and doing a good job when they said they would, they did additional last minute work repairing a patch of damaged rendering and removing several bags of rubble and tangled wires - at no extra cost. Highly recommended.

I discovered areas of damp within my house, linked to the roof. After contacting Phil having found his details online, he (incredibly promptly!) came to have a look and assess the work that may need doing. From the moment he arrived, it was obvious he was incredibly experienced and he made a full assessment of the likely scope of works including removing courses of the roof tiles, replacing a perished membrane and solving an issue of water ingress around the window 'shoulders'. The quote AIM provided - which was incredibly reasonable and amazing value for money - arrived quickly and provided a full breakdown of the work they proposed undertaking and a solution to the water ingress around the windows. Despite the fact they were clearly busy (there were a number of days of storms and high winds which will no doubt have set them back with their volume of work), Phil and Trevor arrived to carry out the work within the timescale they had quoted, and they were able to do it without the need for scaffolding which also represented a huge saving on the work. They were prompt, efficient, incredibly tidy and organised, and a delight to have working on the property. I was kept informed about the job throughout and I am incredibly pleased with the standard of work undertaken. Now my neighbours are asking for AIM's details as I have one of the best looking rooves in the street! It's rare you find such quality tradesmen and I can highly recommend AIM.

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.

Review Comments
In short, great service, very professional, helpful and reliable.
Phil was recommended by a friend and his team have done two jobs for us to date.
The first was a tricky job involved lifting shiplap boards to reinstate lead flashing (incorrectly removed by a previous roofer). Very tidy result.
The second was to restore a bedded verge on our roof, which solved a problematic leak.
Even when very busy he managed to fit us in.
Phil communicates really well at all stages - during quotation visit, arranging work, and emailing helpful photos of roof condition before and after work.
He listened to my novice questions and offered pragmatic solutions.

I thoroughly recommend AIM North.

From start to finish, the team was professional and very relaible.

Phil provided a clear and detailed quote and kept me informed throughout the job of what stage the team were at.

All of the repairs were completed to a high standard (slates replaced, old aerials and cabling removed and rendering on chimney face replaced).

This is the second such job that Phil and his team have completed for me within a tenement builidng and I would highly recommend his services.

We’ve had various work done by Phil and the team, including slate repairs, metalwork, lead seals and gutter cleaning. Every time the work has been done to a really high standard and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
The price is always good (as far as roof repairs can be!) and they are very good at responding quickly, quoting and getting the work done. They’re always willing to explain and show the finished work, and I’m grateful to have found a roofer I trust.

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!

Phil helped us fix a cast iron down pipe which was split and leaking. Without needing scaffolding they repaired the down pipe with a fibre bandage system via rope access. They checked the down pipe internals with a camera. Prompt, friendly, very happy and will use again.
