I found Lee and Jack to be very approachable, very efficient, clean and tidy whilst carrying out all their work. They came when they said they would come and they did the job when they said they would!

I would not hesitate in recommending them to do any roofing work to anyone else and as far as I am concerned they will be my colly roofers from hereon!

We have recently used Lee Towers at Historical Roofing Services to replace a large section of the roof on our house, we were very satisfied with their workmanship and reliability, therefore would recommend HRS to anyone and would have no hesitation using them again.

I am glad Lee at the Historical Roofing Services was referred to me by my Neighbour. .

Not only did they do an excellent job in a shorter time than expected, but also at a very reasonable price compared to his competitors.

5-star service from a competent and professional team of very pleasant individuals.

Lee and Jack replaced the Collyweston slate roof on my grade 2 listed cottage in a conservation area. They did an amazing job, the roof looks incredible and were great to work with. Lee communicated extremely well with me and kept me updated with start dates and progress. There were tidy and respectful of the house and garden when setting up and packing away, and liaised with the scaffolders so I didn’t have to. Would highly recommend.

I used this family business having received several quotes to strip and re-roof a Collyweston slate roof. I would have no hesitation in recommending HRS as their work was excellent with careful attention to detail: no mess, reliable and extremely hard working. I would definitely use them again should the need arise.

We would highly recommend Historical Roofing Services. Not only do they turn up when they say they will, their work is of high quality and sympathetic to older buildings. Lee and Jack’s work ethic is second to none, we would not hesitate to work with them again.

Historical Roofing Services provided an exceptional experience in re-roofing a section of our over 100-year-old Collyweston roof. Their professionalism and expertise in handling such a historic material were evident at every step, from the initial consultation to the meticulous completion of the project. Lee and Jack demonstrated remarkable skill and care, ensuring our roof was restored to its former glory while preserving its historic integrity. Their communication throughout was seamless and if you're looking for skilled Collyweston roofers who take pride in their craft, Historical Roofing Services is the company to trust.
