Gallen Roofing repaired the roof on my dormer extension where I had a leak, replaced several slates and cleaned the gutters.
Dennis came very quickly after my request for an estimate. He took several photos of the roof to show me where the problems were and what was required.
Although I had to wait a few weeks for the work to be done, I am very pleased with everything. Again, Dennis took lots of photos, both during and after the work, and went through them all to show me exactly what they had done. He then sent me the photos for future reference.

Review Comments
Denis came swiftly to my aid after two of my zinc valleys were letting in water. The slating prior was very poor and the old valleys were showing signs of decay.

When Denis came originally, his knowledge, expedience and kind nature truly was leaps and bounds above the rest. I had numerous companies come out to view the issues and I can say almost every one didn’t have the answers I was looking for like Denis did. Nor did they seem that interested, only caring about the next house they were viewing.

Denis provided me with clear and detailed information and advice on what I should be doing. He gave me different options instead of just a blunt quotation. He also provided me with pictures and videos of the areas of ingress so I could visibly see and understand the exact problems on my property.

After receiving my quotation very promptly, with the different options. I decided that I would replace the bottom section of zinc valleys and re slate a half of my pitch which was needing serious attention!

The men were here, on time every single morning for 3 days. They hardly took a break and when offered a cup of tea they were politely declining to crack on with the job at hand. As you can see pictured below, is my new section of roof. The valleys look brilliant and the slating is awesome. Still can’t believe how they can cut the slate so straight!

If you have the opportunity to see this message, please go with Gallen Roofing. They are a wonderful, family run company and I wish them nothing but the best in the future! If I ever need any work done on my roof in the future, I won’t hesitate to ask!

Thank you so much, from the Craig family.

Excellent customer service! We've had Denis out a few times now for repeated leaks and each time he's been really thorough and explained everything really well. He's able to come by quickly and shows photos of what's going on in the roofing space and on the roof.

We live in a three-story block, and we had a roof leak. We contacted many companies; however, only Gallen Roofing met our expectations. Dennis, who came to provide the quote, was punctual, polite, very informative, and professional. He put a lot of effort into assessing the situation and even agreed to conduct a water test to ensure our satisfaction after the job was completed. His team is also easy to communicate with and friendly. Highly recommended - a true professional! Thank you.

We would use again, without hesitation. Denis was super enthusiastic, and knows his stuff. He'll show you loads of photographs which is (a) interesting, and (b) great at building trust about the scope of the work.

What was refreshing was he didn't try to upsell us. Our problem was water was sometimes running down the walls, near the chimneys. He showed us photos of the water pitting on the lead, which needed replaced due to age. Then, Denis almost seemed sorry to advise us we should also get the saddles rebuilt, if we wanted long term reliable waterproofing. We already knew how much it can cost to do short term repairs every couple years, so it made sense for us to rebuild now, to a high quality. But I'm glad it was (a) our choice, and (b) they didn't try to sell on replacing the whole roof.

After we agreed the quote, the work was booked in. It was carried out by him and his team, to a high standard. There were no nasty surprises.

It was reassuring to see, again from the photos, that the new bits were built high quality and to modern standards. For example, the contrast of the new felt to the old perished felt, and the battens which weren't there before. (Photos of before, during, after). Soon enough it rained, testing that the roof was indeed fixed.

From first contact with Kerry to Denis visiting us to quote we were so impressed by their friendliness and helpfulness that there was no doubt that we wanted them to carry out our roofing work.
Denis was with us for 1 week and he was as helpful, friendly and professional and the work was all carried out to our satisfaction.
We would highly recommend Gallen Roofing for all your roofing works.

Had some repair work done to my roof. The hatch and skylight had suffered from the weather and were leaking badly. Denis came out to see the job, explained the repairs, and quoted.
Excellent job, and I would recommend using him again.
