I've looked to Jason and his team for regular checks and maintenance on our roof for a number of years now. The service is excellent in terms of both the advice given and the quality of any work required. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

A few months back I used this firm to replace and repair some cast iron rhones. They also replaced some timber fascia and added UPVC cladding on the gable end of my house.
Right from the start I felt at ease with Guy and Jason and was given confidence to use them after looking at the reviews on here.
The work was completed on budget and on time but there were a couple of residual leaks the next time it rained.
They sent out an extremely professional tradesman to remedy the issue. Rather than do a quick fix he found the root cause and fixed it. Not only that but he took photos to show me his work.
Although I was initially disappointed that the work had issues (turns out this was due to a now ex-employee) the fact that it was fixed to such a high standard allows me to highly recommend this company. And keep in mind that 90% of the original work was perfectly fine.
They are easy to deal with, commercially competitive and to work to a high standard.

We needed roof slates to be replaced, and a gutter re-aligned. After I left a message, Jason called me back the same day, and visited the next. He sent on the quote on the day of the visit. Alan and Frank completed the work over two visits (afternoon, and first thing in the morning), and left the area very tidy.
Really good experience dealing with the firm all the way through.

Jason and his team were excellent from start to finish. The communication was clear and quick with regards to any query I had throughout the job and even though some companies may have deemed my job to be too small (changing our garage roof and guttering work) the guys took obvious pride in their work and were efficient, thorough and cleaned up after they had finished too. I would recommend them and use them again.

Great job and completed very quickly when my chimney/roof was leaking around Christmas time.
It was a fair price and the customer service was excellent.

This was a small repair to a roof area of my rental flat. Some tiles had moved/broken and needed to be replaced. The job was done quickly and without fuss for a good price. This is the second job they have done for me and each time has been a very good experience. I would recommend without hesitation.

Friendly, professional and easy to use service from an excellent company. Staff are always very helpful, taking the time to explain anything I don't understand.
A reasonably-priced quote was sent very quickly with full photo documentation on what needed repaired and why. Because I had asked several different companies for quotes, it was very reassuring to know that GW & JS Construction are on the ball with providing accurate photos and quotes as soon as they can.
I'm very happy with their service, and I'll be using them again in the future.

I’ve used roofers for years but have finally found the best firm in Edinburgh. The service from them was excellent, having sorted all of the agreed damage plus a little more on closer inspection. Alan and Frank were professional and friendly and Jason followed up brilliantly to make sure the customer was happy. What more could you want?

From first contact to arranging a visit to the house to gauge the scale of the work, issuing a quote and executing the job, the whole experience has been smooth, fast and excellent. The team arrived spot on time, did a thorough and professional job and I will without doubt call on their services again in the future, very happy with the performance and value for money.

Contacted GW & JS Roofing and they came to see the job required within a few days. And then we’re able to completed the job a few weeks later, even though it was a small job for them. The two men who did the work were excellent, on time, did the work quickly and cleaned up afterwards. Would highly recommend.

Great experience from start to finish!
Jason came round to inspect the issue a day or two after I called and then gave a quote for the works the following day. He let me know the lead time for the job which was also pretty much bang-on to the day work started.
Alan and Frank carried out the repairs and took multiple photos showing the before/during and after stages of the repair to indicate exactly what work had been carried out.
Would definitely recommend their services and I'll be giving them a call in the future should the need arise!

I'm very happy to recommend Jason and his team. They quickly identified faults with the chimney stack and rear guttering, both were leaking badly.Through photographs I could see exactly what needed done, this was discussed clearly with me and backed up by detailed estimated e mails.
The work was carried out as soon as possible. At all times my e mail was answered promptly. I never had to worry about anything.
Once finished the steps and patio were swept clear of all debris created and I was shown what had been done.
This was especially important as the house is owned by my elderly Mum who doesn't cope with repairs or tradesmen.

The proprietor came when agreed to prepare an estimate , submitted an estimate promptly (at a reasonable cost) , and had the work carried out efficiently at the agreed time.
I plan to use again!

I find GW & JS Construction Ltd extremely professional and efficient.
The directors are personable, approachable and easily contactable which I find particularly reassuring. The workforce are so helpful, obliging and talented.
External stonework at my property in the New Town, which required renovation, was the work of craftsmen. I am delighted with the results which has received many compliments.

I have appointed GW & JS for a number of small roofing projects in recent years, and indeed previously appointed Jason's prior company to many roofing projects for many years before.
Both Jason and Guy are extremely personable individuals, with a wealth of knowledge and experience between them. I have always found them to be Client-focused and diligent: my Client feedback has without exception been more than positive, and every project that has been undertaken by them has been completed to a very high standard, and within budget. They are a company who endeavour to maintain their excellent, long held reputation, and are happy to go "above and beyond", in order to satisfy their Clients.
GW & JS are the only Company who I now consider to undertake roofing projects for my Clients, and I highly recommend them.

I used GW & JS Construction Ltd to carry out rhone replacement and roofing work. They were superb to deal with and would recommend them 100%. They are a friendly yet professional organisation, who carried out the work required to a incredibly high standard. 5 stars for everything - a great company to deal with.

Repair of considerable wear and tear on our Edwardian stone built house built in 1905.
The company was very professional in its approach.
We were provided with numerous photographs of work needed and also again when work completed.
The team carrying out required repairs were excellent, on time, friendly and professional and anything that perhaps requiring extra work, in our case the
cupola was fully discussed before being undertaken.
We were also impressed by the trouble Jason took in keeping us fully up to date with progress and timing of when the team would arrive.
Our thanks to Jason Guy and the rest of the team for their enthusiasm and skill in completing work required.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the company for their excellent work

Communication throughout the project was exemplary as was time keeping. The actual work was carried out by a professional and courteous team who completed the task quickly and tidily. Although this was not a large project the high level of service provided gives me the confidence to both consider this company for larger jobs and to recommend to others.
