Pat and the lads are the kind of crowd you'd actually recommend to your dad without worrying about it. Turned up when they said, quoted fairly, got the gutters and fascia done without any fuss. Cleaned up after themselves too, which isn't always a given. Would use Barrow Valley again without hesitation. Straightfoward to deal with from start to finish.

I'll be honest with you, the thing that stuck with me most about the whole job wasn't the roof itself, it was the way Pat showed up on the first morning, dead on time, no messing, no excuses, and I say that because I've had lads over the years, one crowd from over the other side of the county, who told me nine o'clock and wandered in gone half eleven with not so much as a text message, but Pat was there at the gate before I even had the kettle on, and it wasn't just the first day either, every single morning of the job the same story, punctaul as a clock, and when you're getting on a bit and you've taken time off work to be around for tradesmen, that matters more than people give it credit for, so fair play to barrow valley roofing for that alone.

This is the third time we've used Valley Roofing and I keep coming back because, honestly, the contrast with other contractors is just too obvious to ignore. A neighbour of mine went with someone else last year for a similar job and the finish was poor — had to have it looked at again within months. Pat and his lads did our garage roof recently and there was none of that carry-on. Tidy, straightforward, done right the first time. We've had them do the main house roof and the guttering over the years as well, and the same standard every single time. Never let us down.

Third time we've used Pat and the lads, and the roof looks exactly as it should — neat, solid, no gaps, no fuss. They replaced the missing tiles on the back slope and it's as if they were never gone. Did our ridge tiling a few years back and the guttering the time before that, so at this stage we wouldn't go elsewhere. Would recommend without hesitation.

Pat sorted a leak that had been troubling me since before my husband passed, and the roof has been bone dry through every bit of rain since. Straight answer on the price, tidy work, no fuss.
