Flat roof on dormer and kitchen done quickly, efficiently and with skill.
We were kept well informed with problems discovered during work on both roofs. Photos, and descriptions were presented plus inspection by self were a continual process of progress during the work
The written contract of work and verbal description and state of progress by the foreman was faultless. The weather could have been better, but the workers battled on and completed the work quicker than I had anticipated.
Their attention to safety was admirable, as was their removal of debris. I look forward to the work of slate replacement due in April and my wife and I have full confidence in the companies ability.

Having tried to employee 4 roofers, over a 9 month period with each of them letting us down, I contacted Ian Barrett Roofing Ltd online and within 90min Jackie called me to get more details and arrange an appointment. From that point onwards, our experience has been completely different, Ian was honest from the outset regarding his pricing and the timescales, setting clear expectations. Clearly neither Jackie or Ian can control the weather, which delayed the start, however we were kept informed and work started ASAP. The onsite team were just brilliant and although the second member changed daily, Jock ensured there was a consistent delivery. A great work ethic, consideration and quality of workmanship was demonstrated by everyone over the 3 days. Finally, a key part of any trade, is the tidying up after the days work or when the job is complete, this was done to a standard I've not experienced before and I really appreciate it. Thank you everyone at Ian Barrett Roofing Ltd...

I had one tile on my garage roof split and break due to frost damage. After my initial call, I had a couple of chaps appear within a few days. Jackie phoned in advance to let me know what day. It turned out to be an edging tile that was damaged, so Jackie sourced one locally and the roofers went off to collect it. They were back promptly and had the new tile in place in no time at all. The tile was at the top of the roof and held in place by the ridge tile, and so it required a bit of re-cementing. All in all a good job done by two good tradesmen. No complaints at all, oh, and the price was very reasonable.

Everything about the process, from getting the initial quote to the work being completed on time was extremely professional. The work was done to a very high standard.
What I didn't expect when I got the final invoice was that it was less than initially quoted as Ian and the team had found they did not need to put in as many roof vents as initially thought, which was extremely honest of them.
I can't recommend them highly enough.

We had a section of roof which was not coping with the water from heavy rainfall. Ian Barrett assessed the work required and had his workmen attend timeously as arranged. The workmen were thorough and carried out the work as recommended. At this time it all seems to have been successful, however rainfall has not been heavy as yet.

I had slates come off in the recent storm, neighbours were pointing it out to me and 'roofers' had started knocking on my door offering to fix it. These were clearly chancers and it made me feel very nervous about opening the front door in my own home. I rang a few people I found on google but they were all booked. I got Ian Barrett's number from one of these, and checked them out online and saw they were a Trusted Trader. Jackie in the office was very clear about how busy they were and how long I might have to wait, I agreed to be placed on a list. As it happened a couple of the guys were nearby at that time and come straight over to have a look and replaced the slates there and then!
Honest and straightforward people with the skills to do a job. It was a flat rate for a very quick job but this was made clear to me, I don't have these skills, they do and the visible fix of no slates in the gutter stopped the cowboys knocking on my door.
Use with confidence.

I have been very pleased indeed with the total re-roughcasting job, with additional cladding, done by Barrett to my home. The quality of the finish is excellent and has been much admired by neighbours and visitors. It would have been useful to have been warned about the extent of the work area so that I could have removed and saved some of my garden plants but I cannot fault the quality of the work done, and I certainly would recommend the company to anyone needing such renovations.

I contacted Barrett Roofing to appraise the roof on my house and to obtain a cost for replacing the guttering around the house, with regards to the roof I was unsure if it required to be retiled.
Following the appraisal of the roof Ian advised that there was no requirement for the roof to be retiled, Ian advised that the roof should be cleaned down to remove the moss and replace any broken tiles.
I have found Barrett Roofing to be an honest / professional company that I wouldn’t hesitate to use again if required & would certainly recommend them to anyone requiring work to be done.

The boys left our garden neat and tidy following completion. Thanks again to Jock, Brad & Rhyce.

Each day started with an explanation of the task being tackled that day and a chat about our thoughts on the task. Each day ended with a summary of what had been achieved and some photos of the completed task. Any questions from us were answered with clear explanations of how the jobs were carried out.
The team turned, got on with the job, no fuss, no drama. Tidied up behind themselves. Said goodbye and confirmed they would be back the next morning.

After having tried for 13 months to get local roofers in Anstruther/Pittenweem
to come to inspect my roof with not one coming back to me or inspecting work needing doing, I decided to contact Ian Barrett Roofing in Leven, this was at 8.30 one morning this week, spoke to very friendly lady on the phone explaining my problem and asking if they would be willing to come along, inspect the roof and quote for necessary repairs, I was advised they were very busy but she would arrange for someone to call hopefully within the next 2 weeks.
At 10.30 same day I got a call telling me that a couple of their tradesmen had been rained off a job and that she had arranged for them to call and see what was needing done, arriving at 12.00hrs they set about looking over the roof, replacing missing tiles, fixing loose tiles and cleaning weds etc. from gutters. after completing at my house went along and did inspection/repairs on a rental property we have in Anstruther.
I will certainly use this firm again. BRILLIANT SERVICE.

Diverse range of jobs completed to an excellent standard
Roughcasting Cement repair absolutely perfect
Roof inspection revealed 4 tiles needed replaced and heavy build up of moss on North Facing section cleaned - again perfect
Roans cleaned and new ones installed where necessary
All work was completed to an exceptionally high standard and where applicable tested to ensure that repair / replacement achieved the desired result
Weather conditions were far from ideal but the workforce remained unphased and retained a cheery outlook throughout.
All debris was removed and my property was left tidy and with the exception of the new fittings and improved appearance you would not know that they had been there , unlike many previous contractors where I had to clean up afterwards.
I have no hesitation in recommending this firm , the level of courtesy , ability and attention to detail has renewed my hope that there are still good trades people out there who care about their customers and the quality of their work
I will definitely by utilising their services again

Re-roofing of house including removal of previous structures. We had a great experience working with Ian Barratt and his team. From the outset, communication was excellent and we were informed in good time of planned work, which was always commenced when indicated. The work spanned several weeks and was carried out by a number of members of the team all of whom worked well and efficiently with care and attention to detail. It was a pleasure to have the guys on site, particularly through very wet and very cold spells of weather - throughout there was no loss of effort or good humour or the feeling that we were being looked after ! We are delighted with the results of the labours and the cottage has taken on a new lease of life with its clay tiled roof. Based on our experience I can thoroughly recommend Ian Barratt roofing.

I used this Company after reading online reviews, here and on other sites. They fitted a single ply membrane to a summerhouse roof, and sweated on felt to two shed roofs.
I was kept updated with dates, times and the time scale for the work throughout.
The work was carried out when they said it would be and both the membrane and felt are really well done. They were cheery and professional and they left the area clean
I would have no hesitation recommending this Company.

Ian Barrett's diagnosis and remedial work at my home was spot-on.
Other tradesmen never visited, and those that did had given estimates for their so-called solutions which would have been of no help and wasted my money.
I owe a great debt of gratitude to Ian Barrett Roofing.
Thanks again.

Ian and his team removed and replaced two old pan tile roofs, a flat roof and inserted three new skylights. All under minimal supervision as I don't live locally. I left them to get on with it and that's exactly what they did. Reliable, pleasant and skilled, I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Ian & his team did an outstanding job on our roof back in May and I subsequently listed a well deserved glowing review -
We further managed to secure their services to apply new Harling to our bungalow - this work having just been completed.
I can only reiterate my praise for their standard of work and professionalism throughout. Being ex trade myself now retired, and a specialist at restoration work I am indeed somewhat pernickety on standards.
All I can add is that they have excelled in every aspect of the project.
Everyone now thinks we have built a new house !! The overall effect & finish is superb.
One word descriptors don't do enough to describe what I now dub "The Barrett Team experience".
Professional, craftsmanship, pride in their work, polite, tidy, communicative, sense of humour, punctuality, competitive pricing etc etc etc
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
A job indeed well done

Extensive new lead work on a roof and bay window, partial re-slate at one part of the house and complete re-slate with new lead skews and flashing at another part. Georgian farmhouse with some parts over 200 years old.
“Thank you for the excellent job you have made on our farmhouse roof. No easy task - the front section revealing rotten sarking and the back section being completed in the midst of horrendous weather!
The finished result looks superb and will keep us watertight for many years to come.
Your workforce are a real credit to you. Everyone who came on site was polite, professional and friendly and always well presented and courteous. Smart, clean vans too - a small thing perhaps, but a sign of a company taking a pride in it’s image.
I much appreciated the effort the boys made to keep the place clean and tidy while they were working and also their advice to watch out for nails on the ground once the scaffolding came down.
The lads were a pleasure to have around and I actually quite miss them being here!”

Had my roof cleaned by hand with a wire brush as tiles were very porous. 3 tiles were replaced and pointing carried out at the apex. Very pleased with the price which was over £100 cheaper than other companies. All debris was taken away and work done to a high standard. Very quick from request to completion - so reliable- and would definitely recommend.

Bought the property one year ago when we moved back to Scotland knowing that some work was needed on the roof - now retired ex trade myself I knew exactly what work was required - dormer roof repairs - new flat insulated roof to both sections, replace 'cheek' slates with high quality plastic t&g + insulation, new leadwork to gullies & flashings, some new guttering and other small incidental repairs/replacement slates to main roof.
I ran a successful business for 30 years in renovation & restoration work to listed buildings with recommendations throughout keeping myself and team very busy with no need to advertise.
I cannot praise Ian and his team high enough for every aspect of the works they have completed - exceptionally high standard, always on time, excellent communication throughout and an absolute joy to have on site.
A very competitive price and within budget.
Indeed a rare find who can be trusted throughout.
A measure of their professionalism & care must be highlighted in that I arrived home the other day to find some of the team on site - they were just passing and noticed a dislodged slate up on the roof which they were rectifying as a matter of course.
I am now trying to book Ian and his team for further work, but as always when you are excellent at what you do you are inevitably very busy.

Excellent and efficient work. Complete re tiling , guttering etc on a five bedroom detached house in 2016.
I added a 15% tip when settling the invoice as I was so impressed and felt he had undercharged.
Ian Barrett refused to accept the extra beyond his quote.
I used him again subsequently to replace cast iron guttering etc in a three story grade B listed property and again work was excellent.
A refreshing change after several disasters with other tradesmen.

Ian and his skilled and friendly team replaced the large and complex slate roof on our traditional home in the East Neuk. The quality of work was excellent and the job was done to budget. It was completed on time and minor follow-up snagging has been done promptly.

Ian and his team re-roofed our property and roughcasted the walls with rendering done on the facia brick we wanted covered.
Roughcasting and roofing can cost a fortune and Ian's price was the best we'd received in a competitive market. The guys were professional, efficient and let me know updates every day on what the next step was.
The amount of people stopping us to comment on our property is amazing and I know Ian has had more enquiries for jobs by everyone seeing there workmanship, in my opinion that speaks volumes. I'd definitely recommend Ian and his team.

I hired Ian Barrett in to do a flat roof of a working space I had created at home. I literally cannot fault this company at all. From the get go they were friendly and professional and unlike other tradesmen I have encountered in the past it appears there has been no corners cut. The works man ship left behind is nothing short of perfect and it was all completed in a timely manner. Could not have asked for a better company to do the work. If I ever need a roof repair in the future I won't be looking online anyway. That's for sure.
Thanks again Ian and team!

Lat year, we contacted Ian and his Team and following a complete Roof Inspection, we engaged him to carry out urgent repair work, which we agreed and identified would improve and strengthen the roof.
Ian and his Team, in particular Jock, Brian and Kev got started very quickly. Their attention to detail was inspiring. Throughout the work, they continually reassured us and they kept us informed all the way, showing us photographs before and after. The quality of the work was outstanding and came in at the price estimated / agreed. Prior to completion, they carried out a full and final check of the roof and completely cleared and cleaned the site.
I have known Ian for many years and watched him and his business grow. The entire Team is very experienced and excellent and I would strongly recommend them. Ian said at the very start of the work, that no roof will ever beat him, so don't try the rest, get the best, Ian Barrett Roofing.
