Aldridge Roofing (Suffolk)

Roof on new utility room and blending into existing roof. Very efficient.
Very quick and tidy.
Pleasant personality.
Completed on time as agreed and did a small extra job not connected with above.

Pitched roof repair. Replace a broken tile and patch a small area.

I''ve used Robert in the past to do our flat roof garage, and some more recent repairs to the pitched roof, with this being the most recent.

I''m always happy with Roberts work, backed up with the slick administration from Helen.

Repair to roof Very good

We had the roof of our grade II listed farmhouse stripped back, timbers inspected and replaced where necessary and the roof retiled with sympathetic (recycled or matching the original) tiles; All flashings/valleys/gulleys were removed and replaced with lead (some had previously been cement!). The chimneys were also given new lead flashings and were repointed with lime mortar (the repointing was contracted out). All barge boards and gable ends were replaced and painted; all [plastic] guttering and downpipes were replaced with cast-iron ''look'' product more in keeping with the property.

There were some structural issues with a chimney stack that were discovered when the roof was removed; Robert managed this also, bringing in a structural surveyor and arranging the manufacture and installation of a gallows brace to make the chimney safe.

A smaller roof adjoining the main house was also assessed, stripped back and repaired/ flashings replaced where it had been leaking since its installation by another contractor last year.

In view of the extra work that arose subsequent to the original quote I would prefer not to say the price I paid, but I think it has been a fair price for the work done. As with all large projects, there are inevitably unexpected issues that arise during the course of the work; in such circumstance all that I can reasonably ask is to be kept apprised of the situation and have the problems and possible solutions put to me in such a was as to find the best way forward. In this respect, Robert could not have been better, and I was kept fully informed of both progress and problems throughout without feeling I was being patronised or spoken down to.

Despite some staffing problems that were beyond his control (a short-notice resignation and a family bereavement resulting in the effective loss of 2 members of staff at the start of the project) Robert and the remainder of his team continued on, regardless of the weather. They were prompt arriving on-site and starting work, generally before 8am, and were happy to work through to the end of the day(light) and beyond, sometimes working by electric flood lights).

There is a lot of mess and dust generated with the replacement of a roof but the site was left clean and tidy when they left; interim clear ups that I asked for (usually because I had weekend guests visiting) were not a problem.

The work necessitated bringing in my electricians and plumber, in addition to a joiner/carpenter; Robert and his team worked well with each of these, and there was a productive and co-operative atmosphere on the site even with these four teams working together (not always the case, in my experience).

Overall, I was very happy with the standard of the work done and I would particularly commend Robert''s communication skills as he kept me informed of what was happening at all times and remained mindful of the fact that he was working on my house while I was living in it, and not just on an empty building site.

Re-roofing garage, replace ------- boards on double garage. I found this firm very professional, workman like very tidy and courteous.

I arranged for Aldridge Roofing to take out existing plasterboard and existing insulation to be taken out of the loft, ready for Rentokil to spray the timbers.

The supply and installation of the loft insulation to 300mm
The service was first class, the guys who came to the property, were very efficient, polite, nothing was too much trouble, they were very careful with the removal of the plasterboard and old insulation. They cleared up after themselves at the end of the job.

I cannot fault the service, the guys again were good workers, polite and were honest, in as much, they were half a roll short, which they mentioned, they didn''t have to, and came back the next day.

I would certainly recommend Aldridge Roofing and have no hesitation of using them again.

I also found the pricing very competitive.

Replace flat roof. Very good work.

Replacing felt, cementing and lead on a gable roof and fit new wooden scroll feature (not a supporting piece). Robert Aldridge is a very reliable tradesman. He ensures the work is carried out to a correct standard. I would thoroughly recommend his company.

Roof repairs to small section of roof.

Emergency repair to a serious leak in a Grade 2 listed building roof. Required replacement timber for rotted rafters, boarding, new leadwork and resetting tiles, underlays, and re-cementing hip tiles I called Robert of Aldridge Roofing on the day after he returned from his holidays with an emergency roof leak in our Grade 2 house. In spite of a full workload he came the next day. What had initially seemed a minor repair turned out to be a much more serious failure in the roof with a large area of damaged leadwork and rotted timbers. Robert immediately purchased the required materials and he and Adrian did the repairs very professionally, complete with progress pictures,in under 24 hrs. Working conditions were very arduous as he was high on the south facing flank of our Georgian house on the hottest day of the year! We were very grateful for his coming so promptly as the internal damage could have been serious.

We have used Aldridge Roofing before and have absolutely no hesitation in recomending them to anyone requiring expert roofing work to the most professional standards. Robert is unfailingly positive and polite and a good man to know.

repairs to flat roof I cannot vouch for the quality of the work carried out as I do not live in the house and have only photos to judge it by. I have no reason to expect anything other than good workmanship from my previous dealings with this company.
