“Full re-roof on our 1930s semi. The survey was thorough, the quote was detailed, and the job was done exactly as described. Neighbours have already asked for the number.”
“Three quotes, all within a similar range. Chose these because the surveyor was the only one who came up on the roof and actually showed me what was wrong. Glad I did — job was excellent.”
“Conservation area property needed like-for-like handmade clay. They sourced matching tiles, got the council sign-off and the result looks perfect. Worth every penny.”
Brighton neighbourhood with Victorian (1870s-1890s) housing. The dominant roofing maintenance issue in Hanover: ridge mortar failure and shared valley lead disputes between terraces.
