“Roof survey before we bought our house in Forest Gate. They found three issues the surveyor missed — rotten valley board, nail-sick slates, and a blocked hopper. We renegotiated the price and saved four grand.”
“They fitted leaf guards to all our guttering after years of blockages from the oak tree next door. Not a single overflow since. Wish we had done it ten years ago.”
“Warehouse conversion in Shoreditch with a nightmare butterfly roof leak. Two other roofers could not find it. These guys traced it to a failed internal valley in thirty minutes and had it fixed by the end of the day.”
