Heavy winds had disturbed the cement skew of our cottage, meaning it needed to be replaced. The team from Compass worked through some very cold days to rebuild the skew and now it looks good as new.

I have used Compass for roofing and general plasterwork on the outside of the house. The quotes received are detailed setting out what will be done along with the cost, the team are courteous, thorough in their work and clear up everything after. The work is of a very high standard so I will certainly use them again and recommend them.

Roof re-slating.
Efficient.
As the work is only just completed I cannot comment on the durability or indeed the quality of the work but I trust that it will be up to my expectations.
I am not in a position to view it or take a picture.

I have been very impressed with the responsiveness of Compass, always quick to respond to queries and get us quotes in a timely manner. They are professional and trustworthy, and are always happy to carefully explain the process of the project. Which is very helpful when it's hard to understand roofing work! The work they have done has been to a high standard.

Highly recommend Compass. The quote arrived the same day as they inspected the work required and the work was completed 2 days later. Superb service and lovely polite guys. Great price too.

Compass are so efficient and reliable I would highly recommend them. They have always been prompt with site visits and supplying quotes and are extremely helpful and courteous. It's been a great comfort having them on hand to maintain our Victorian tenement roof and their rates seem extremely reasonable.

Review Comments
Compass roofing carried out an extensive re-roofing of our property where the roof was in a pretty poor state. It could now qualify for the smartest roof in town with its new guttering, lead and zinc work and slates all now held smartly in place with new copper nails. The photos they supplied bore witness to a first class job. They were a lovely bunch of lads and the lady who runs the office was a total gem responding quickly and efficiently to any questions I had, A first class firm, would recommend them 100%.
The anxiety I had about the roof every time it rained is now a thing of the past.

The team that worked at our house were reliable friendly and hard working.
We are delighted with the finished roof and the way way the job was managed. Scott took ownership of the job from start to finish and this was reflected in the end result.

Brilliant service and hopefully solved the mystery of the leaking roof - something two other roofing companies couldn't manage. Highly recommend.

Friendly and helpful in the whole process from quote to installation. Installation went well and job was finished to high standard. Support staff went out of their way to help out with paperwork I needed to get agreement from neighbours for shared cost. I plan to use them for any future roof issues but given the high quality of the job they did I don't imagine that will be necessary for a long time.

5th floor tenement gutter & slate defects requiring scaffolding tower. Efficient and professional approach. Happy to talk on site through defects and proposed solutions . Gave good advice on possible future repair risks to watch out for. They did what they said they would do in a sensible time frame.

Fantastic service - helped to sort out a flood in our house on the rainiest day this year - came out despite a huge workload that day and fixed the problem really quickly. Really helpful and pleasant - happy to recommend to all my friends. Thanks for a great service1

Four different jobs, two roof repairs and two stopping leaks through a wall. One involved a lot of rebuilding and coordination with another company, which worked very effectively and efficiently. We have kept using Compass because problems with our old house are assessed and solved, the work is done extremely well and quickly, with minimal disruption and everyone who comes to the house works hard and is no bother to have around.

Damaged chimney removed. Very slight problem with what looked like leaking cement....difficult to explain....but whatever it was rain has eventually washed the “ stain” away. I was quickly reassured this would not have compromised the roof re storm proofing.
I definitely would use the company again. Everyone including especially the office team extremely helpful.

Replaced a cracked downpipe and sealed dripping gutter. The estimate process and job was handled well and I'm planning to use the company again for further work.
