Shepherd Roofing Limited

The team replaced missing tiles from my roof, corrected a leak coming in x2 velux windows and replaced a flat felt shed roof that was in bad condition. Arrived punctual, left after clearing all debris. Thanks again!

Shepherd Roofing carried out a roof replacement on my house in March of this year.
Initially I asked for an assessment of the state of the roof, and was given advice time to decide what work I needed done. Every step of the work was done as planned, keeping me fully informed. Craig and his assistants were polite, friendly and sensitive, careful not to cause too much disruption, and repectful to my neighbours. The job was completed within the time expected and the site was left clean and tidy.

I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Shepherd Roofing to anyone needing roof repairs.

I have used Shepherd Roofing for 2 major jobs, in 2021 and 2025 which consisted of a complete reslating of the front and lateral elevation of the roof of my C listed Victorian house.
I have been very satisfied both with the operation of the job itself and the outcome.
The timescale for the job was clearly communicated, once on site the roofers stayed until the job was completed and very helpfully if the weather or some other issue prevented them being on site I received a text message to notify me and when they would next appear.
On 2 other occasions, after storms, I contacted Martin as slates on other elevations had been blown off. He came the same day and used a drone to inspect the damage. On 1 of these occasions we were heading off on holiday the next day. He facilitated repair of these emergency situations rapidly and sent us photographs to keep us informed whilst we were not at home.
Quotes were neither the highest nor the lowest we received but the service and quality of the workmanship was outstanding.
This is a trustworthy, local company who I am confident to recommend and will continue to use.

Shepherd Roofing fitted eave guards to our slate roofs to prevent wind up lift, installed a new ridge system and reinstated slates where the previous GCH boiler flu exited the roof (we had an Air Source Heat Pump -ASHP) installed.

Martin and his staff work to very high standards and I would recommend them without hesitation - and I am very particular about any work I have done to our property.

We have had issues with our dormer bungalow roof leaking for years and have had several roofers look at it and do work, however they never managed to fix the problem. We had seen the work undertaken by Shepherd roofing on a similar property around the corner and were impressed with the final result so we asked them to come and provide a quote. Craig was upfront from the start and provided full explanations and photographic evidence of the issues with the roof. Unfortunately as work began more issues were uncovered but, again, Craig was always upfront and explained full costs of any extra work required. The whole team were friendly and considerate when undertaking the work. The final result looks great and has a 25 year guarantee so we now have peace of mind that we have a watertight roof. We would highly recommend Shepherd roofing if you want to ensure high quality materials and work.

We have had the roof replaced, new lead work, soffits and gutters.

They are diligent, respectful, hardworking and trustworthy.

There dedication to ensuring the smallest detail has been completed is brilliant. They have completed the work to the highest standard, ensuring that we were kept informed throughout.

Highly recommended

Two horizontal and two hip ridges were replaced with dry ridges, rotted timber and many slates in poor condition were replaced. Shepherd Roofing’s willingness to source matching Welsh slates when other roofers would would not is a reason for rating them highly but also the problem-free and timely way the work was carried out.

This is the second time we have used Shepherd Roofing, in this case to completely replace the slate roof at the front of the house. As well as the slating, the job required some quite complicated lead work, and also complete replacement of the sarking (the need for this was discovered when the old slates etc were removed and we were given a separate estimate). The work was completed to a very high standard (as was our previous job) using the highest quality materials, was on budget and we were given a written 25 year guarantee. The work was finished fairly rapidly as the weather was generaly good. The roofing team were very professional, punctual and tidy and take great pride in their work. Mr Shepherd has a policy of offering advisory comments when the job commences, pointing out areas where work might be required in future. This was invaluable during our first job with him. Overall we are very satisfied. Shepherds are not the cheapest, but are probably the most reliable and dependable.

New roof to property with new lead works fitted and welded. I can confidently recommend Shepherd Roofing Limited for their attention to detail in all areas. Martin, Craig and Sandy were knowledgable and kept me informed of what they were doing and when it would occur. It was evident that they are a customer focused team. The quality of the materials used was first class, and I was briefed on possible choices, costs and longevity considerations before I came to a decision on which tile to use. At each stage of construction, I was informed of what was to be done. Given the extremely wet weather which happened in November ‘23, the work progressed quickly and my roof was watertight at all stages. All old roof materials and debris were removed promptly.

Carried out a small repair to my roof , by cleaning out gullies extremely professional , happy with work carried out.

Needed some repairs to the roof due to very bad storm. They got back to me very promptly and came out as soon as possible. Price fitted the job and quality of work was a very high standard. Will use again if need be in the future. Recommended to my family and friends too.

Listed property.
Replacement cast Ogee gutters and re slating roof.

From initial assessment and tender through to completion of works was very impressed with the service provided. This is a very professional company. Martin kept me informed about the work regularly. If for any reason( weather usually) they would not be on site I received a text or call explaining reasons. Any question I had was answered promptly and reasons for suggesting certain remedial works explained clearly. At no point did I feel pressurised or uninformed.
The tradesmen on site were all highly experienced roofers with decades of experience who clearly took pride in their skill. I was frequently invited up on the scaffolding to have the latest step in the work examined and explained.
I was delighted with the result and feel I paid a very fair price.
Following completion I had further contact with Martin to check all is satisfactory.
In summary a very professional, trustworthy company, experienced skilled roofers and a very content customer

Shepherd Roofing replaced an area of the Practice roof over a three week period. The service provided was outstanding from the initial planning phase to finish and communication throughout was excellent. The whole experience including the co-ordination of other tradesman, who were all very professional, has been seamless and we are extremely happy and impressed with the end result. Work was completed within the timescale initially given to a high standard. We would not hesitate in recommending Shepherd Roofing to anyone looking to have work undertaken.
