A professional and honest roofing specialist
Just a few weeks after moving into our forever home it was a shock to find the roof was riddled with leaks During the following two years I contacted most of the roofers within a 15-mile radius to have work ranging from minor to relatively costly carried out The regular damage to walls and ceilings caused by water ingress necessitated repairs from yet more tradespeople It was financially and emotionally draining Stuart Penrose had already replaced the roofs of several other houses in my area so I knew his reputation for honesty and quality was well-deserved I was confident that the work would be carried out to a high specification on time and any issues dealt with efficiently Of course this should be the case with all trades who we entrust with our homes but unfortunately is not always the reality When I initially spoke with Stuart he diagnosed the problems with my roof and told me exactly how it should be fixed His knowledge was unsurpassed and he spoke so positively about all things roof-related I even found myself becoming enthusiastic Over the following days he patiently answered my emailed questions about the finer details of the project The comprehensive tender setting out exactly what would happen when and the pricing gave me further peace of mind When it came time for work to begin I knew exactly what to expect The fact that Stuart himself would be on site every day gave me ultimate confidence that any problems would be dealt with immediately by the experts Especially considering the scale of work that was needed the week when Stuart and his team were on site was not particularly taxing or disruptive They arrived on time every day worked quickly so the roof was never left open overnight and left the site clean and tidy at the end of each day Mindful of our safety Stuart personally stopped all work and escorted my children and I from the house when we needed to leave or enter I enjoyed our chats as he updated me about progress He took great pride in showing me the innovative and top quality products that were being used on the roof Seeing the roof take shape in the mid-week progress report with detailed explanations and photos was fascinating The final report with its wealth of information and photos will be invaluable for a surveyor should I ever come to sell the house This is a lengthy review as befits the lengthy issues I had with my roof Now they have come to an end and I am able to move onto the more enjoyable aspects of homeownership Significant structural work is often fraught with anxiety but for me this was by far the least stressful part of being the owner of a defective roof thanks to the expertise and thoughtful approach taken by Stuart and his team I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to contact Stuart Penrose if they need a problematic roof fixed once and for all

Outstanding Workmanship
I am so happy with my new roof Wow Thank God I chose Stuart Penrose Roofing Without a doubt the most stressful part of getting a new roof is finding the right person to do the job Unfortunately to my dismay I found there are a lot of rogue Roofers out there - so beware After months of searching and having been let down by several Roofers myself I had got to the stage in thinking if there was anyone out there I could trust However I needn t have worried Knowing my plight a friend recommended Stuart Penrose Roofing and when I read online about his attention to detail I knew he was the Roofer for me They say first impressions count and they certainly did - in fact it was during my initial meeting with Stuart that he not only calmed my fears about what I been told from other Roofers but for the first time in this whole roofing business I felt a sense of peace It was then when he explained everything from start to finish that I knew I had chosen the right man for the job My sister Linda also with me at the time was very impressed saying she would look no further for her Roofing Contractor Stuart Penrose is a true gentleman He is trustworthy honest friendly professional and is a wealth of information about his trade He is someone who will go far and beyond the call of duty to make sure his customer is happy Knowing the perfectionist I am and to ensure I got the exact colour of tiles I wanted he not only personally drove himself to collect them in his own free time but also ensured all batch numbers were correct and for this and much more I owe him a heartfelt thanks I would also extend this heartfelt thanks to his team particularly those who also went the extra mile for me by giving of their time to make sure the job would be done Not forgetting the hardworking Scaffolders of course Stuart is a man of integrity and this is reflected in his work ethic All work by him and his team is carried out with such precision and to a very high standard He cares passionately about his job and his Customer Care is second to none I am told at one stage towards the end of the job Stuart and some of his team could be seen working during horrendous weather conditions in torrential rain Also on completion of the job and true to his word everything was left so clean and tidy His communication skills are also outstanding As I was out of the house while the work was taking place Stuart made sure I was kept up to date with progress by daily emailing me photos with comments on that day s work not forgetting the Completion Manual I received at the end of the job After all this I cannot emphasize enough the calibre of the man I have found in Stuart Penrose So was I impressed - You bet I was Would I recommend him - Highly 100 As the winter approaches I now have complete peace of mind knowing mine is a Penrose roof Put quite simply - A class job by a class act Thank you Stuart

Exceptional Professional Craftsmen from start to finish
I purchased my house 3 years ago and from the surveyor s report i knew that the roof was the original slate roof with no membrane from 1939 I decided for peace of mind and due to some drips during some of the intense storms we now experience frequently to look at re-roofing it After google searching various companies I came across Stuart Penrose roofing I was impressed with Stuarts previous work and experience and contacted him we agreed a date and time for Stuart to assess the roof Stuart arrived on time and immediately gave me a sense of a professional craftsperson with a passion for his trade He discussed the current state of the roof what i wanted and after consideration what would be the best solution He said he would send a detailed statement of work and costs for the project in the next few days Few days later the SOW appeared laying out in detail what he proposed materials to be used and cost breakdown and stage payment plan in short a completely professional quote Stuart had suggested i get some other quotes so I could benchmark against his proposal which I then did what followed was 3 months of e-mail txt and phone calls to various large well know and small roofers and builders across North down and Belfast at the end of which I was abit shocked at the unprofessionalism of all of them from missed appointments brief inaccurate quotes quotes given via txt not returning calls txt or e-mails etc etc At the end the difference between Stuart and everyone else was staggering I contacted Stuart and gave him the job We arranged a start date between the start date any questions I had were answered promptly and completely The job started on the agreed date Stuart gave a safety brief and arranged that when anyone including my children entered the house during work hours all work was stopped and people were escorted in or out Stuart was on site everyday accompanied by Riley and Ryan all were polite considerate of the house as if it was their own and incredibly hard workers The roof was being completely replaced reusing as many of the lovely existing slate as possible new batons hi-tech membrane new zinc soffits gutters and down pipes new copper flashing on the chimneys Stuart suggested colour s for the soffits and gutters showed me samples which i approved We discussed if it would be possible to insulate and floor the roofspace at the same time and Stuart and the team were able to accomplish this as well even though it wasn t easy to do so Every day the site was swept and cleaned so the around the house remained as tidy as possible We experienced a bad storm during the work and Stuart and the team spent aday storm proofing the house and site considering half the roof was off at that stage its was testament to Stuart and his team that zero damage occurred The work was completed on time to the agreed fixed price even with Stuart giving the house an amazing bespoke zinc ridge line as he wasn t happy with the tiled ridge colour matching The new roof looks amazing the colours of the water goods Ridge etc are perfectly matched we couldn t be happier and are going to engage Stuart and his team for some additional work to the property This has been a long review but a new roof is an expensive undertaking for any home owner I can recommend Stuart and his team 100 to anyone considering getting work done to their roof they are on a different level to everyone else From start to finish it was flawless execution of what can be a daunting project for any home owner all that worry disappeared with Stuart Riley Ryan and Dominic at Stuart Penrose Roofing they went above and beyond our expectations

Work carried out to a very high standard
We are a not-for-profit organisation based in East Belfast Our building is older and with a number of flat roofs and we have had ongoing issues over the years which have now been resolved by Stuart and his team We invited Stuart to evaluate our roof a number of years back and the relationship continues to this day It would be fair to say that we have presented Stuart with a series of complex roofing issues over the years and he has had to come up with some very clever and innovative workarounds and ways to solve our problems and all at a competitive price His approaches also consider environmental impact which is very important to our organisation Stuart is decent honest and trustworthy We always know where we stand with regular and detailed progress reports and pricing Stuart and his team are very respectful of our building and the health and safety aspects and they take great pride in their work and always clear and tidy at the end of a job Stuart always speaks with tremendous passion experience and knowledge and then demonstrates this in his work He treats his employees really well and you can see that they are highly motivated and hard working as a result They turn up when they say they are going to and in fact Stuart is there a lot more than would even be expected I know that Stuart treats our property like it is his own and would regularly pop across to check on our roof if he is close by and particularly during works and periods of heavy rain - such is his dedication I would definitely recommend Stuart and his team for all your roofing needs

Excellent roofing company
Excellent roofing company We have a tiled conservatory which overtime has started to leak After various roofing contractors coming and making half hearted attempts to deal with the issue using mastic it did not solve the problem Then we contacted Stewart Penrose Roofing When we first met Stewart he instilled a lot of confidence in us and his knowledge of roofing was boundless He advised that the low pitched roof tiles needed replacing Stewart sent a survey tender with a recommended schedule of work and proposed reinstatement specifications etc During the works he kept us updated on everything We found his work and materials used to be of a very high standard - along with his professionalism and attention to detail We would recommend 100 Stewart Penrose Roofing for all your roofing issues needs

Can t thank Stuart and his team enough
Can t thank Stuart and his team enough for the re-roofing work they carried out on our period bungalow Dom Duncan and especially Riley and Ryan who were on site every day and worked tirelessly under Stuart s direction On first meeting Stuart it was obvious that he has a real passion and enthusiasm for his work combined with a wealth of knowledge expertise and a highly professional approach Stuart kept us advised of progress at every stage of the work even regularly updating his web site with pictures and commentary It s a rare quality these days to find someone who has pride in their work is always prepared to go the extra mile shows great attention to detail and refuses to compromise on quality Stuart is that person from experimenting with mortar mixes to find the ideal colour driving across the country to check out reclaimed ridge tiles having ridge tiles specifically coloured to his specification correcting and improving an existing issue where a flat roof joined the main roof and even calling out over two weekends after particularly bad storms to ensure that everything was safe and secure Above all Stuart is honest and trustworthy it was a pleasure getting to know him and his team and having them around our home It was also heartening to see how supportive and encouraging Stuart is to his apprentices and the mentoring he provides to them The finished roof looks fantastic and I have no doubts that it will last another seventy plus years I would not hesitate in recommending Stuart and his team Alistair Leitch
