Roofer in Renfrewshire, anyone?

mrsbudget

Hi, could anyone recommend a roofer in Renfrewshire area. Our roof is really needing done and I prefer a company recommend than someone in the Yellow Pages.

Thanks very much.

Hi, someone else in Renfrewshire - yippee!!!!
I live down in Lochwinnoch, not sure where you live and whether that is local to you or not. We have a roofer in the area who has his own business and who is always doing work around and about (especially after all the winds we've been having). The company name is Matthew New and Sons. I'm not sure whether the main guy is actually called Matthew, but he is certainly a Mr New! He came and fixed our roof last year when we had some tiles blown off. I would certainly give him a call (should be in yellow pages) but he is quite busy.
Hope that is of some help.

We use Hi-Tec in Paisley (Hawkhead Road)

Have used this company twice - once for a rough cast repair and once for a roof repair.

Both times they did a good job at a reasonable price.

Hi, Eilidhsmum, yes, am from Paisley actually and will phone your roofer and see how much he will quote for me. I am still shocked to receive my quotation from a well known roofer in our area and guess how much to change the whole roof,....unbelievable £15K..

I am so stressed because of the water coming in and the marks in our ceillings but getting that quotation made me depressed now!

Purrcat - thanks as well, looks Hi-Tec is nearer us, I phone them as well,,and may the best quote wins!!

We have used someone called George Thomson. He should be in the yellow pages.

We used him last year when we had a leek in the roof, first company quoted £700.

He charged us £40 to move some roof tiles that had come away

hi, Iain watson, lovely guy, knows his stuff and if you ask me he is too cheap but dont tell him i told you that. I was recommend him, he mostly does new houses with forster roofing a huge company based all over scotland, but he is livingston west lothian based, and as being self employed will take on work outwith the new build trade, give him a call 07714326472. but you really should get various quotes any way and call for refrences that this guy really wont be offended in you doing anyway. hope this helps . He only takes payment when job finished, nothing up front and only gets paid when you are happy with job. nessie

MrsBudget,

When I was discussing our planned extension with our builder, he advised that there is a grant available from the Scottish Government towards the cost of reroofing. Perhaps you should contact Building Control at Renfrewshire Council?

hi, Glasgowsoundman,

I contacted the REnfrewshire council and was told that there is no funds available at the moment and if there is any, it is strictly prioritised,,,(dont know what that means though)..

Thanks anyway and,,, yes, I am still looking for a roofer..I phoned so many people but some got back and had a look of the roof but never get back with a quotation,,some never replied to phonecalls at all..

I am in Edinburgh and my quotes run from £7500 to £13000 which shocked me for a semi. This included from a 1 year to 10 years Guarantee. Perhaps I will have to get it fixed again rather than replaced:rolleyes:.

but dont u think it would be better to have it replace and then forget about roof for perhaps 30 yrs?? well, that's how i think about it..:rolleyes:

The £7500 quote i think is alright,,if anyone will give me that quote,,considering they will have a good job will be a fantastic price,,
