Aldridge Roofing (Suffolk)

Pantiles roof and beadwork on new extension - 6 different levels and stripping and replacement of old pantiles from old part of house and garages and leadwork.
New loft insulation in old part of house.
removal of asbestos sofits from old part of house (licensed for this).
Worked "beyond the call of duty" to get the extension roof completed before Christmas 2018.
Replacement of the old roof was severely effected (delayed) by rain - some of it very heavy. Despite the heavy rain we had no leaks when the roof was just polythene.
The rain delays were compounded by other jobs that were on at the time (also delayed by rain) making the completion of the job considerably slower than the forecasted time.
The fascia''s /sofits / gutters etc were completed/ replaced by different tradesmen (equally excellent) - so cost given not including this or roof tiles. High quality work and the team are real "grafters".
Like all small builders you have to share them with a number of other jobs which always makes for frustrating delays.
However this is acceptable if the quality of the work is good - which in this case is excellent and worth the delays!
We we unlucky with the weather which compounded the delays.

New felt roof on kitchen and garage which are joined together We are very pleased with the job Aldridge Roofing have done, having dealt with some very poor work carried out by others on this particular roof.
The service was friendly and professional. The job was completed quickly and we are happy with the results.
I would not hesitate to recommend Aldridge Roofing.

Stripped off existing shed roofs installed one layer of roof and torch - on felt 4mm
Torch - on - felt
Supplied and installed 5mt code 4 lead flashing to lobby. We have used Aldridge roofing before, we have no problems with them what so ever.

Removal of chimney, batten, felt, replace tiles and make good. Following significant rain, water had leaked through the old lead flashing surrounding an existing, bit redundant chimney.

Having tried a couple of roofing specialists, I called Robert at Aldridge Roofing who arranged to meet me on site.

From start to finish Robert was extremely helpful and we agreed that the best idea would be to remove the chimney rather than replace the flashing.

All work was completed as agreed to a high standard.

roof repairs excellent work, friendly and pleasant workers and work done in good time

Supply and fit of Velux Window Easy process from turning up to give quote to window being fitted.I actually finished up with a bigger window than I thought as Rob surveyed the roof and explained what size could be fitted. Estimate received promptly and answered my questions with patience. Waited several weeks for fitting and Rob confirmed the night before fitting what time to expect them. Window fitted well and sits perfectly in the roof. Neatly finished and care taken inside and out. Well impressed with finished window and area left clean and tidy. Highly recomended

1. Removal of redundant solid-fuel boiler chimney on flat roof.

2. Replacement of the flat-roof covering on a loft conversion with higher insulation Aldridge Roofing recovered the flat roof of our loft conversion over 15 years ago. This had lasted well with no leaks but, by 2019, the thermal insulation was well below modern standards and we decided to get it upgraded before winter. We got three quotes of which Aldridge was the middle price.

After quotes were in, we decided that we would have a redundant chimney that came through the flat roof removed (rather than repointed) and Aldridge quickly gave us a revised quote to cover removal of the stack and sealing the hole below roof level.

Wet weather delayed work although the scaffolding work was done quickly and professionaly well in advance. Aldridge made good use of lulls in the weather and all the work was completed in a little over three days.

Robert and Jason carried out the work safely and cleared all waste materials on a daily basis, they also arranged the inspection of the work and certification. Helen in the Aldridge office responded quickly to questions from us and was very helpful.

Emergency roof repair Polite, punctual and informative. Explained options and costs. Carried out the repair on the spot (leaking roof and we were expecting a downpour). Would defiantly recommend for any roofing problems and will use in the future for a permanent solution.

Replacement of broken roof slate which was causing a leak. THE WORK WAS CARRIED OUT PROMPTLY AND EFFICIENTLY.

Replacement tiles on a Grade 2 listed cottage at the highest point of the roof Mr Aldridge had done some work on our cottage before. We were so pleased with the prompt service and work done. We phoned last week to do another roof job for us. Within a week the work has been done for a good price without us even being there as it is our second home. We would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Mr Aldridges team were excellent and very professional in their work. They were personable, punctual and very neat in their workmanship. On the first day when they replaced our fibreglass flat roof, they worked tirelessly throughout the day and into the evening to make sure that it was watertight for us.

We also had all gutters and facias replaced, which they did efficiently.
They also had to remove asbestos soffits and replace them with UPVC ones. This was done safely and a copy of the disposal certificate was emailed to us.

They advised us of any extras such as where timber might need replacing and showed us where the wood was rotten. They treated our property with great respect and even took their shoes off when entering the house.
They also cleared up after the job was complete. We are delighted with the work that they did and would not hesitate in recommending them. An excellent job from start to finish!!!

Complete waterproofing and tiling of a new double garage/workshop with full hipped design, in traditional red clay pantiles (53 sqm of roof) We have used these roofers before on a previous project (House extension) and our builder recommended we use them again. We were happy to do this and were not disappointed. (NB there were some delays but this was not due to the roofers. We knew they would be fitting our work in alongside other contracts).

I had some concerns about the measurements at first but these were easily resolved after the boss (who also worked alongside his men on the job) carefully explained how they would overcome my concerns. We ended up with a great job!

We can recommend Aldridge roofing.

Replaced two slate tiles that had fallen from roof. Telephoned Mr Aldridge as found slate tile had fallen from my Dad''s roof when I called at house. Dad is currently in a care home so I needed the work done for him. Mr Aldridge sent a colleague to look at the roof that day & telephoned me that evening to give me a price & advise the work could be done in two days. I gave go-ahead as they had re-felted Dad''s Flat Roof last year & done a very good job. They e-mailed me pictures of work done & invoice. I would recommend them as dealt with both jobs competently & kept me informed as I live 40 miles from my Dad''s House.

Repair to gable end. We needed an emergency repair to our roof when a run of tiles slipped and were in danger of falling off the roof and onto the conservatory below. They came out quickly to assess what needed to be done. They agreed a competitive price for the scaffolding which was quickly put in place and the tiles made safe. Mr Aldridge explained what work was required and what it would cost. They kept us informed about when they were coming and rescheduling due to bad weather and came when promised. The team worked hard to complete the job. We were concerned that other parts of the roof had also deteriorated but Mr Aldridge did not feel any extra work was necessary. Everywhere was left clean and tidy and we would not hesitate to recommend Aldridge Roofing.

Broken roof tile replaced. Very prompt & efficient.
