Eastern Roofing & Solar Installation Ltd

Reroofing clay pantile roof. Removing and replacing solar panels I was very pleased with the quality of work. The roofers worked consistently hard in very cold weather. They were cheerful throughout and explained what was happening. They made every effort to ensure replacement tiles were appropriate.
Although Eastern Roofing was the most expensive, they had experience of working with solar panels that had previously been fitted, and this was one of my reasons for selection. They did find a significant fault with the fitting of the panels which they corrected Another was that they carried out a more detailed examination of the roof prior to giving a quotation.
Whereas the roofers were clean and tidy, unfortunately the scaffolders did leave the area muddy and utidy.
I have no hesitation in recommending Eastern Roofing in fact I have already done so

Roofing Work Very pleased with the work.

I live in a terrace house where the roof over the spare bedroom has a valley with the main roof. A leak had developed in the spare room and also one in the loft area. Out of the four firms I called, Jim was the only one to actually get on the roof and look around to find the root cause. His first call-out, he moved some tiles around (for free, no call out charge) and asked me to let him know if the leak continued (as it was only in bad weather).

When it did, Jim did a thorough inspection (he was on the roof a long time, shifting tiles around etc) and showed me photos of the damage and his assessment on the problem.

I had three other firms, all of whom did no inspection themselves and quoted much higher than Jim. Jim also provide two quotes, one for the back roof (including the back bedroom) and another for full roof.

Work commenced a few days after I accepted the Quote (which was actually about 1.5 years after he first gave it, I was saving up for my wedding, same price as originally quote which was great). The scaffolders and then, the roofers, all turned up quickly and early each day. I was kept informed of all work taking place.

From the texts from Jim, my own inspections and some talks with my builder friends, I understand that Jim went over and above to make the roof water-tight. Rebuilding of parts of the Gable Wall, a Bonding Gutter so the gauge on the front-roof could be changed to increase the headlap, adding valley boards (which the previous builder had clearly forgotten).

The work was carried out in a professional manner and to a clearly, high level of detail and care. I usually get misgivings when using tradesmen (years of watching watchog makes you worried!) but wouldn''t hesitate to recommend Jim and the team again.

This, coupled with a Ten Year written guarantee which will be a nice touch when/if I sell the house before expiry.

Of all the firms who came to quote, Tim the owner of Eastern Roofing made an immediate impression as a man of honesty integrity. Not only did he quote the best price, but while doing his evaluation, some missing tiles on my barn (outbuilding) roof that had been blown off by the major wind/storm Feb 2014. He immediately clambered onto the roof and replaced them, to avert rain entering the building! Speaks volumes.

His team were exemplary. As pensioner. I was treated with reverence.

Roofing repairs

Replace old felt with breathable felt. Replace some beams, treat all beams with anti- fungus stuff, lay loft insulation. Skip and scaffold included in cost. I was worried about finding good people to repair the roof. I went to the trusted trader link. I hadn''t used the firm before but I''m very glad I chose eastern roofing. A family company who have a very supportive attitude. UK Power had to sheath a cable by my roof and eastern roofing organised that; and the scaffolding and skip. I only ever spoke to Eastern roofing; they did everything else. I was kept up to date with all the stages of the preparation prior to the work starting. On site, the men were quiet, industrious and got on with the work. I wholly recommend this company for their friendly attitude and professionalism. The price included VAT.

Rebuilding chimneys, rebuilding ridge, installation of 2 Velux windows, pointing. A friendly and hard working team. We added to the "brief" during the works and Jim accomodated us with no problems. Indeed, he offered to help with other bits and peices whilst he was on site.
At no point was I concerned about leaving him and his team alone, nor about the quality of the work.
I have used many builders and craftsmen over the years, and Jim is one of the most helpful and responsibly I have come across.
I would recommend him to anyone.
Worth noting that the scaffolder Eastern Roofing used was also professional and helpful.

very happy with the service Jim and his team provided. The work is of a very high standard, and was completed with little disruption or difficulty for me. They were always happy to answer any questions I had, and were most helpful. I would be very happy to recommend this firm for roofing and chimney work, and would use them again.

Roof removal and replacement Very helpful and considerate - highly recommended

Refelting with new batons and new tiles, spraying of exposed timbers against worm and rot. Score on "Tidy" lower due to minor problems of timely removal of skip and scaffolding which we realise was outside of the control of Eastern Roofing but was the subcontractors problem. The work did start one day late but we were happy about this as it enabled the job to be completed in a rain free period. Other than those minor considerations we were very pleased with the with the standard of the work and all other aspects. We have not used this firm before but would be very happy to do so again.

Reroofing house. Very pleased with the workmenship and attitude of all the workmen involved and nothing was too much trouble.

Repair damaged tiling in a porch roof. He not only fixed the damaged tile but also identified a potential problem with the flashing. He repaired the tiles and replaced the flushing and charged a very reasonable price. Very satisfied.
