W&S Christie Roofing

I strongly recommend W&S Christie. Right from the start when I contacted the office, there was friendliness and efficiency. The team of roofers were professionally skilled in every aspect of the work, taking down the old roof, checking timbers, replacing lead work and re-slating. The scaffolding was expertly put up and removed. The reroofing was altogether a job of a very high standard.

Did excellent work for us. Fair in price, professional and honest. Would use them again

This was a big job to renew all the felting on the flat roof, completely replacing all tiles on one aspect and damaged ones on the other, replacing both glass cupolas one which was internal to our flat requiring both internal and external scaffolding. Excellent experience from start to finish , our communication with Ian who was managing the job for us was second to none making it all much easier especially with the work being shared across 5 flats . This company has such a wealth of experience with high level roof work, we would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

I contacted W&S Christie Roofing because I was given their number from a roofer I was recommended but who was unable to help me himself at the time.

My experience with this company has been wonderful. They cleaned our gutters, mended cracked leadwork, repaired roof tiles and pointed some stonework. As a result substantial leaking every time it rained has finally stopped. Thank you!

From my first contact with the office, to the gentleman who came to look and quote for the job to the roofers who actually did the work [in temperatures of -9'c!], everyone has been helpful and sensible, explaining what needs to be done, why and how throughout. No question of mine has been dismissed or ignored. They organised everything including the hire of cherry picker and all that entails.

I will absolutely use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone. I can honestly say it was a pleasure dealing with them.

Over 12 months I dealt with Ian Watt of W&S Christie he was a helpful efficient and a timely communicator. He expressed himself clearly in emails.
We had a downpipe problem - that required a new downpipe with work on stonework and leadwork at the top of the pipe. We are pleased with this work.
The major works of the two works was the replacement of guttering with a lead channel. This required scaffolding along the front of 3 blocks (12 properties) reaching up the 5 storeys. He dealt well with the scaffolders and communicated with us regularly during the works. It was completed ahead of schedule. We are pleased with his work.
I would recommend W&S Christie as an excellent roofing contractor.

Replacement of roof skylight and broken tiles. It was good quality work and the staff were very helpful.

Very helpful office staff! Good job well done.

We needed an emergency rooftop chimney repair done and W&S Christie Roofing was very responsive, prompt and helpful. The feedback that was given to us regarding the repair was very clear and detailed. Thank you!

Repairs to outlet in parapet gutter carried put very promptly and at a very reasonable cost.

Excellent customer service. Polite, professional and trustworthy.
Complete box guttering replaced to front of house.

We had the A team who worked through very difficult conditions to get the work done as efficiently and speedily as possible. All work was on budget.

This summer's project was the third and final leg of a complete tenement roof renovation involving six slated slopes and the complete recovering of the flat central section. W&S Christie has traditionally carried out the maintenance and our stair has stayed with them for the duration. As co-ordinator I have been impressed by many aspects, which include a good working relationship with management and employees, quality of materials, quality of workmanship and sensitivity to customers' requirements including leaving the site tidy on completion. The finished job has withstood the test of severe rainfall soon afterwards and the skills, both artisitc and technical, of the main on-site team have been most impressive - an example is attached in the photo. I would have no hesitation in recommending W&S Christie.

The main roof of my 19th Century farmhouse was replaced by Christies as well as the north facing half of the roof on a side extension. I thought the work they did was excellent and done with care and attention to detail. I am really pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them.

As anyone who has been through this will know - its a stressful activity to arrange and get the work done. We had a great experience with WS Christie and their Lead specialist and cant thank them enough for guiding us and getting us through this process.
The root cause of our issues were the main outlet only being 40mm diameter which is totally inadequate for the heavy rains. The whole gulley between the roofs and Cupola had lead replaced and the drain widened.

We ended up going for the much more expensive Lead option - Couple of reasons its listed Building (so you have to technically but a lot of folk dont). I would have felt a clown if got leaks after installing felt like you put on a roof of a garden shed.
A great job as you will see from the photos.

We had a chimney/roof leak and blocked guttering in a tenement. We were provided with a competitive and very thorough quotation, including photographs of the problem. We had excellent communication with both the office and the on-site contractors. Despite access problems that were outwith the control of the company but required a repeat visit, they adhered to the original quote. Excellent service.

Christies did work to replace a rotten roof on my kitchen utility room. After the initial investigation it became became clear that it was a bigger job than just the roof as the ceiling and fittings needed to be renewed. Christies organised all the different elements for me and made the whole thing much less stressful for me at a time when everything is out of the ordinary. The roofers, carpenters, fitters, plasterers, electricians and plumbers have all been cheerful, careful and considerate while I’ve been working from home. I am happy to recommend them.

We have used Christie Roofing for full rhone replacement and down pipe repair, and for general roof repairs over the past 4 years. We've found them to be completely dependable and hard working. The roofers have a high level of technical expertise and we would use them again.

Gutter realigned and roofing felt taken over and resealed. Work was held up due to lockdown but done immediately regulations were eased. The quality was of a high standard as far as I can judge from 3 stories down but photos were taken which show how neatly and tidily it was done. Overall, we are very pleased - the same firm did the whole of our roof more than 30 years ago and it has stood up to the ravages of time and weather and appears to be still in sound condition.
