Completed roofing jobs

Every picture on this page was taken by Johnny on the job. Nothing here is a stock photograph and nothing has been bought in.

Photographed as he goes

Johnny photographs the work because a roof is the one part of a house the person paying for it cannot see. It started as a way of showing customers what had been done and turned into the way he quotes: pictures of the fault, then a price in writing against them. Two of the reviews mention it without being asked to, which is the part that matters.

Johnny was incredible. When quoting he took the time (almost an hour across two evenings) to diagnose the problem. He worked hard throughout and is fantastic at documenting the work with photos. He even went above and beyond, changing a roof tile and some dodgy work done by a previous builder. Good, honest, hardworking roofers are difficult to find and in the future we will not hesitate to call him.

Send a photo of yours

Your town, your number, and a picture if you can get one.

A picture of the ceiling, or of the roof from the garden, tells Johnny more than a phone call does.

Johnny is up on roofs through the day, so he reads these in the evening. You will hear back that night or first thing the next morning.
