Remove slates to both small slate panels, re felt areas. Slate the slightly larger area with welsh slates. Over whole pitch area, with lead dressed ridge roll to firstly act as a water check kerb and also to act as a lead ridge for the adjoining panel. Renew lead ridge crown with new lead allowing for all bossing and welding .
This was a tricky area to repair and after numerous other roofers failing to rectify the problem over the last 10 years, Wayne of Benson Roofing has rectified the problem first time.
He was very prompt and professional in all aspects of the project .
I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

We couldn’t be happier with the work we had carried out by Bensons Roofing Services. His first estimation was thorough and easy to understand. When the scope of the job increased, he kept us up to date at all stages of the process. His work has been of the highest quality, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in using his services again. In a city where finding trustworthy tradespeople can be difficult, Wayne and the Bensons team have been exemplary.

Remedial work to dorma roofs and general roofing maintenance/repairs - the work was assessed and the recommendations clearly justified and quoted as committed. The work was scheduled with consideration for our availability and the workers were prompt and considerate in carrying out the work. Care was taken to make sure that all aspects of the roof were checked over and when some small additional tasks were identified they were discussed and the work done within the original quotation. We were left feeling confident that the job had been done by experts and that we could rely on the work done. We will be calling on BRS again to keep the roof in good condition.

We needed some general maintenance work on our roof - repointing chimneys, hacking out and replacing a slew. Wayne came over and gave us a very reasonable estimate to complete the work, especially compared to the other quote we received. Wayne then arranged to start the work within a week. It was completed quickly and efficiently with no disruption to myself or my young baby. We would absolutely recommend him and shall certainly use him again.

Our shared roof needed a range of repairs. Slipped slates, leaking gutters, ridge repairs over bay windows and lead flashing repair. Wayne explained clearly what needed to be done, he turned up on time and did all the work to a high standard and for a good price. He followed this up with an email to check all the work was sound. It’s great to find an honest professional who cares about doing the job correctly. I will use him again and am already recommending him to others.

We had a roof inspection (house and garage). We had repairs to roof, sofias, fascias, tiles and full work done on garage roof (flat roof).
I was really pleased with everything and would definitely recommend Mr Benson. He was all the things you look for in someone doing work to your home:
friendly;
trustworthy;
good advice;
good value;
highly skilled and knowledgeable;
hard working (got the job done really quickly with no mess);
able to give a certificated guarantee for the work done on the garage which is very reassuring and useful for when you come to sell your house.

Excellent service provided to my elderly father. Carried out roof inspection & replaced broken/slipped tiles which had caused internal damage following heavy rain. I will definitely contact Wayne for future roofing repairs & advice.

Very happy with the service performed. Bruce explained in advance what needed to be done and why. The cost was very reasonable and the work was carried out very professionally and efficiently.
As I was very happy with the work I arranged for him to review and carry out work on my daughter’s house.
Have arranged for an annual review to be carried out going forward.

Wayne Benson and his team of roofers took on a difficult roofing job on our Victorian mid-terrace property which was damaged in the New year 2016 storm. First they came and did an emaergency repair very quickly and explained all he believed would need to be done. Because the property is owned by a charity, we needed to get insurance quotes and multiple bids. By the time all of that was in hand, the firm was completely busy with other storm victims. So we had to wait our turn. However the emergency repair held up for the necessary 3 months and the final repair was done quickly and efficiently and cleanly once they came.
I definitely recommend them.

Wayne was a huge help to us out when we were buying a property, with a few existing roof issues. He visited the property time and time again giving his professional opinion to our solicitor, before carrying out the work once we'd moved in. We won't use anyone else in future!

We have used Benson Roofing Services for a number of years to carry out an annual inspection of the roof area of our tenement and have always been very happy with the service they provide. I have always been happy with Wayne and the response time he takes once he carries out an inspection of the roof and then provides a detailed estimate of works required. Once the order has been placed the work is completed soon after. Would be more than happy to recommend Benson Roofing Services.

Wayne Benson has carried out a roof survey and various repairs at the this establishment. His standard of work and advice has been excellent on each occasion. He offers effective solutions based on his experience and vast knowledge of roofing materials. A first class and trustworthy service I would highly recommend. We will continue to make BRS Roofing our first port of call on every occasion in the future.
