Heavy winds had disturbed the cement skew of our cottage, meaning it needed to be replaced. The team from Compass worked through some very cold days to rebuild the skew and now it looks good as new.

We have a bad water leak from our roof which resulted in water ingress into two flats. I phoned Kelly at Compass roofing and she had trades there the following morning and repaired the defect. Cant thank them enough.

We have an old and complex roof. Compass advised that the rear section needed replacing and the other sections could be repaired. The work included stripping the rear roof faces, re-slating, new gutters, repairing flat areas, lead work and replacing the cupola.
We are very pleased with the result. The men were very professional and tidying up every day. They kept us posted on progress and provided photos of before and after.
We would definitely recommend them.

Wooden fascia on porch replaced, gutter re fixed to fascia & painted. A bit of a delay initially to get a quote as they were busy but once I confirmed job the work was carried out very quickly & satisfactorily. Appeared expensive for work needing done but fairly comparable with other quotes.

We had a small leak in our roof caused by a number of slates being our of place.

Compass looked at the job when they said they would, and they actually sent us a quote!

When we accepted, they arranged the scaffolding for access, got the work done quickly and quietly, and left everything looking neat and tidy.

Compass inspected, promptly estimated and then carried out a downpipe repair on the tenement building I live in.

I can have no objections to either the efficiency of their scaffolding contractor or the speed with which the work was carried out .This was a trouble-free building repair and a smooth and professional transaction. The work was performed to the highest quality and in a timely manner.

Would have no hesitation about engaging them again for any work on downpipes, gutters or the roof itself.

We used Compass for some routine maintenance work on our tenement. Compass were helpful while arranging access for the cherry picker. From the initial visit to quote and once on site the whole team were friendly, professional and efficient and took the time to answer our questions properly. We were very pleased with the service overall and would use them again.

The work involved was a roof repair where there had been water penetration.
I found Compass Roofing Ltd extremely efficient and easy to deal with. Their workmen were efficient and considerate, and the work was carried out promptly and speedily.

I had an issue with a leak in my roof which was causing water to come through into the house via the water trap and valley of my dormer window. I called several companies who had given me various quotes and probable causes for the issue (including one the wanted to rebuild half if the roof).
I was recommended by a work colleague to try Compass. They came around and within minutes had worked out the leak was due to a slipped slate and broken slate, as well as debris in the valley of the dormer.
The quote they gave me was great and was for replacing the damaged slates plus any other broken/slipped slates, cleaning out the gutters and providing the roof with a detailed inspection.
The work was carried out within the next few weeks and has sorted the issue.
I cannot recommend this company enough the work was quick and completed to a high standard plus all communication has been speedy and very helpful.

Damaged chimney removed. Very slight problem with what looked like leaking cement....difficult to explain....but whatever it was rain has eventually washed the “ stain” away. I was quickly reassured this would not have compromised the roof re storm proofing.
I definitely would use the company again. Everyone including especially the office team extremely helpful.

I had my roof repaired after damage caused over time and by the storm. It was a very busy time for all roofing companies however Compass Roofing were able to come out and do emergency repairs within a week before completing the full job within the month. They communicated with me very well and were extremely helpful. They also carried out the work for over £1500 less than the company that gave me my first quote. It was my first time dealing with a roofing company and I can't imagine using anyone else in the future. Would highly recommend.

Compass did extensive roof work for us. It was efficiently done in a short period of time. Kelly kept us informed about what was happening and when and it all went as planned.

compass repaired damaged exisiting sofit and replaced to a higher standard and refurb the paint work, their workman ship was excellent, the office handled the quote, and booking really well and kept us well informed with the long covid delays. the building is a 4 story block and they manage to use a cherry picker with very little distruption. Every person i dealt with was kind, polite and patient. i would definately recomment this company for roofing work and we as a block will continue to use them as required. Nothing but praise for them
