Returned home after New Year to find damp patches in my kitchen. Contacted Portobello Roofing following a friends recommendation. They came out to inspect and quote within 2 days of my phone call and then carried out repair one week later. Photos were taken and they also identified some work that will be required in the future. Friendly, reliable and professional, will definitely use again,

Review Comments
Had an intermittent leak in living room ceiling which our usual roofer could not find the source of. He eventually said to get a second opinion. Portobello Roofing came out, pinpointed what they thought was the issue - blocked channels around a dormer, resolved it and then said they would wait 2 weeks before issuing the invoice, to ensure problem was resolved. This was about 4 weeks ago when we were having a lot of heavy rain. We've had no further issues and I'm very impressed with the service and problem solving.

Portobello Roofing carried out the work at my home in a professional, business-like manner. The quality of workmanship was excellent. They attended when they said they would and the work was carried out to my complete satisfaction. I would not hesitate to recommend them or use their services in the future. The price they charged was fair and reasonable.

Portobello Roofing Ltd were great from start to finish. We had a leak in our roof over the New Year period and the team were quick to get out to see what damage was done. Price was good and we have had no issues since the repair. Would use again for sure.

If you want a roofer who is really nice to speak with, arrives when they say they will and do a great job then go with Portobello roofing (don't look any further). These guys are my roofers from now on. Very happy.

We contacted James from Portobello Roofing because one of the storms had caused the lead flashing on our roof ridge to peel away. It wasn't an emergency, but we wanted it sorted before it got any worse. That was on a Saturday afternoon. James came round on the following Monday and had it fixed within half an hour. They repaired the lead and also put in some sealant to ensure it is weathertight and secure. They did a great job, very promptly and with no fuss. the cost was very reasonable and we are very please all round.

James & co, did an excellent job cleaning out our well needed clogged up guttering.
We had originally asked him for a quote for removing moss off the roof! He was honest enough to tell us it didn’t actually need done and explained reasons. I respect honesty and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for future work and have no qualm in recommending them.
Many thanks Linda

Short notice roof repair after Storm Arwen damage. Rapid response, estimate and roof repair completed in good time, to a high standard and according to estimate. James and his team communicated well throughout and we would not hesitate to recommend or use Portobello Roofing for future works.
