Roofing co?

Luirette · March 2015

Our 3-storey Victorian building needs roof, chimney, woodwork and fascia repairs. Can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced company? We don't want to get fleeced by the freeholder's management company and the flats in our building are allowed to put forward tenders by alternative companies.

I'm more than happy to recommend <a href="http://www.horncastleroofing.co.uk">Horncastle Roofing </a>who replaced the roof and zinc work on my place a few years ago - a 3 story victorian terrace house with domer windows. <div><br></div><div>They were also more than happy doing ancillary works such as rebuilding the parapet walls. Really competent and friendly family firm, that does their own scaffolding as well. <div> </div><div>When you're looking for contractors, be sure to ask about their approach to building control: Roof replacement requires building-control sign-off, and quite a few of the companies I got quotes from didn't mention it - presumably because they don't bother. This is particularly pertinent in the case of building management company, because lack of building control will impact any single one of the lessees if they come to sell.</div></div><div><br></div><div>There are a lot of cowboys doing roofing, and notably, when we had ours done, LBI was doing cyclical maintenance on some of the local properties they are the freeholder of. Some really terrible repairs were getting made. All very visible from roof-level. </div><div><br></div><div>Private message me if you want to get some idea of costs.</div>

I used decentroofing.co.uk seemed pretty decent.

I used cowboyroofing.co.uk - not an experience I would recommend

In retrospect I suppose the hats were a bit strange

I usually prefer [Vic Tom Ltd. Multi Trade](http://www.victom.co.uk/ "Vic Tom Ltd. Multi Trade"). Support and the exact work of the whole team is tremendous. I have already used their services like Hot Melt Roofing http://www.victom.co.uk/hot-melt-flat-roof-service and and Bricklaying http://www.victom.co.uk/bricklaying-service You can get more information about this company here: http://www.victom.co.uk/

Howdy, Stranger!
