I only needed a small job done and, unlike many other companies, they didn't see this as an opportunity to discover additional work. They were punctual, efficient and easy to deal with. Very pleased with Portobello Roofing and more than happy to recommend them.

Review Comments
Large flat garage roof completely replaced; all timber support structures with rubber sheet roofing. Work ethic and quality was generally excellent using quality materials even for the more mundane consumable items (e.g. stainless steel screws/nails where appropriate). Tidied up well on completion of works even though old roof covering was unpleasantly sodden and very messy during removal. To be highly recommended for such works.

Portobello Roofing have done a few small jobs for me at 3 different properties and I've been very happy with them. They were quick to identify what needed to be done in each case and explained fully what work would be required. Turned up when they said they would. Professional, tidy, friendly and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

My experience of using this trader for re-covering my dining room flat roof was a very good one, they came when they said they would come, did the job professionally, and tidied up after themselves.

They arrived few hours after I called them. Althought full repair wasn't possible they fixed it temporarily and gave us advise what to do next. Also they surveyed our roof and spent almost an hour giving us possible options to solve existing problem. Very friendly and knowledgeable guys. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with roof problems.

James and his team have done several jobs both large and small for me over the past 5 years with the most recent being in October 17 and I've always been very satisfied with the quality of the work and the price. Highly recommended.

James and his team re -roofed or house in slate. The house is about 150 years old . I found James to be very open and honest about all of the options and costings relating to the roof and chimneys. We are delighted with the standard of the workmanship.

Portobello roofing clearly take pride in their work and they restored some of the original, decorative woodwork, before painting it.

I am very happy to recommend them.
