Alexander Roofing has many customers reporting good work on flat roofs, tiled roofs, fascias, soffits and guttering, with several saying they would recommend the firm. Reviewers often mention that Alec or his team turned up when they said they would and left the site clean and tidy after the job. One customer was pleased that Alec explained the roof problems clearly and gave helpful before and after photos. There is criticism too: one reviewer said he waited two years for a roof painting job to be finished after paying cash, and another described a quotation visit as unprofessional, with a likely price of about £10,000 given but no written quote and little discussion before the man began to leave.
Unfortunately, my experience with Alexander Roofing was extremely disappointing and remains one of the strangest interactions I’ve had with a contractor in nearly 20 years. I arranged for someone to assess our flat roof and provide a quotation.Alec came out to visit us . After briefly looking at our roof for 5 minutes , the gentleman repeatedly stated it would “probably be about £10,000”, continually emphasising how expensive the work would be. Very few questions were asked, there was little meaningful discussion, and no written quotation, email or breakdown of materials and labour was ever provided. I was left wondering how the £10,000 figure had been calculated. His repeated emphasis on the price also made me uncomfortable, almost as though assumptions were being made about what I could afford. I’ve invested considerably more than £10,000 in improvements to my home over the years. The price was never the issue; the lack of professionalism was. What I found particularly bizarre was that he then began walking down my driveway as I was discussing options ,seemingly ready to leave before we’d even finished discussing the job. When I mentioned to him, his response was, “Oh, I thought you were finished.” My elderly father was present during this visit. One of the main reasons for having the roof repaired was so he could enjoy sitting outside on our balcony again. I don’t even recall the gentleman acknowledging him at all , and my father was equally disappointed by the experience. Sadly, my father has since passed away, which is partly why I never addressed this sooner. We’ve since paid another contractor £8,000 to complete the roof, including EPDM rubber roofing, 2 layers of OSB boarding and composite decking. Their workmanship, communication and professionalism have exceeded all expectations. Having regularly employed contractors for almost 20 years, I’ve genuinely never encountered a quotation experience quite like this. I cannot comment on Alexander Roofing’s workmanship, but I can comment on the service we received. When someone invites a professional into their home to discuss spending thousands of pounds, surely basic courtesy, genuine engagement and a properly explained quotation aren’t unreasonable expectations? A disappointing experience, made all the more memorable because my late father was there to witness it.
Alexander roofing replaced a flat roof for me and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of job done. Thanks again guys. Best regards, Robert
Waiting for 2 yrs for him to come back and finish job of paint my roof took the cash and never came back really bad job done by him
Alec and his team replaced the old (and leaking) felt roof over the dormers with a new EPDM rubber roof membrane, with new uPVC trims and fittings. They turned up on time as promised and the work was carried out quickly and professionally, with all the rubbish carted away and the site left clean and tidy. We're very happy with the result and would strongly recommend them.
Ask them to come out to mend some lead flashing. They did an excellent job with great customer service, couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend
Engaged to replace a chimney cap, work was done very quickly. It is great to find a company that does what they say, when they say, for the price they say. Could not be happier, many many thanks.
Alexander did our soffits and gutters and was excellent. The lads worked through the worst weather to get the job done and they were superb and professional. Absolutely would recommend.

Great repair job to our flat roof. Rapid response and excellent guaranteed work. Roofing work? use these guys!
Excellent service job well done!
Extension roof was aged 33yrs and was beginning to leak, after research I was advised that extension roof required replacing. Sandy was contracted to do job and completed the full removal and replacement of roof within two days and left site clear of rubbish thank you for a wonderful job will certainly recommend
Very helpful made a terrific job replacing our old tiled roof
We are over the moon with our new flat roof, Alex done a great job, we would definitely recommend them
Alexander and staff fixed a leak on our garage roof. They were very efficient, courteous and completed the work in good time, as agreed.
Alec and his team fitted new fascias, soffits, guttering and dry verging all around the house. Alec came out the same day that I contacted him and provided a quote. The work was done efficiently to a very high standard within the agreed timeframe and I’m extremely pleased with the result. Alec clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alec and his team and I plan to use them again. Update - Alec and his team have now also installed a new rubber flat roof on the garage. Again, excellent, professional, friendly and reliable service. The old roof was corrugated with asbestos and Alec recommended an asbestos specialist firm that took the old roof off, with Alec and his team installing the flat roof thereafter. The work was done efficiently to a high standard and I’m extremely pleased with the new roof. I highly recommend Alexander Roofing.
Got our soffits,fascia’s and gutters replaced by Alex’s men this week.Very professional job done (they even worked in the dark with head torches 🔦)They took away the old gutters and rubbish and tidied up after them.Job well done 👍
Excellent, professional, and friendly service from Alexander Roofing for a very short notice repair to my storm damaged roof. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic job, very professional and friendly service. Very mossy roof was cleaned and looks as good as new, plus replacement of old guttering and some painting work. House looks amazing now. Thank you very much.
Alexander roofing did an amazing job of removing all the moss from my roof which was also done by hand so as not to ruin my new garden which was amazing of them to do. It was then sealed. Garden was left extremely tidy considering the amount of moss removed. The guys that were here were a lovely bunch, very professional and Alec himself is a lovely guy, extremely professional and gave full guarantee of all work carried out. 10 out of 10 for the work carried out would recommend them 100%
Excellent service and a quality job done. Very happy with the work on facias and guttering.
Alexander Roofing completely replaced our slate roof which was leaking in several places. The job was completed professionally and to the agreed price. Alec kept us informed throughout and we're delighted with our new roof. Alec and his team are friendly and hardworking and our premises was left clean and tidy on completion of the work. We highly recommend Alexander Roofing and would definitely use them again. Liz & Jeff, Eriskay Road
Guttering replaced and painting completed to a high standard all within a week and at a very reasonable price. Can highly recommend Alexander Roofing.
Great job completed on my roof from start to finish.Alex kept me informed each day of the work being carried out.Would highly recommend to others.
Alex explained the problems with the roof, gave us several options, and then his firm carried out the agreed work efficiently and in the agreed time frame. No mess was left. All through the process Alex kept us updated. We are very pleased with the work.
Delighted with service, turned up the day I phoned explained what needed done job done to high standard , friendly and professional tidied up and would highly recommend. Excellent work.
Alec kindly arranged to carry out a roof & gutter clean at very short notice, due to other jobs we had to do being dependent on it getting done first. It was completed to a very high standard with no mess left behind. He checked over the roof, making sure there were no damaged tiles and provided us with sound advice, ensuring that we were not spending out any money which was unnecessary. Great service and communication.
Alexander Roofing were working in my area and I was influenced with what I saw. It had been several years since our roof was last cleaned. So, Alex talked me through their process and gave me a quote. Its not until you see the end result that you realise how much moss can accumulate or the damage it can do to roof tiles over time. After cleaning, several were removed and the damage shown before Alex replaced them as part of the final cost. He also sprayed my roof with chemicals to prevent regrowth of moss for several years. And gave me a general overview on the condition of my roof, giving piece of mind. There is no doubt his professional integrity has prevented future damage and expensive roof repairs. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending Alexander Roofing.
Came to help us at short notice and did an excellent job. They have pride in their work, unlike some other companies we have experienced. Highly recommended.
Had Alexander Roofing to replace fascia, soffits, cladding and guttering. A very pleasant team to have working on the house. Happy to reccommend.
Very pleased with work carried out. Alec explained everything that was happening. Arrived when he said, very tidy. Highly recommend
I was very impressed with Alexander Roofing. Alec did a thorough assessment of the various roof issues and then he explained clearly the current state of the roof and what needed to be done. Plus he followed this up with before and after photos which were really helpful. He even came back a day or two after the work was finished to make sure the mortar had set satisfactorily. I've have no hesitation is using Alexander Roofing again.
Alec responded quickly to assessment request. He only included necessary work and then turned up to do it for the quoted price. 60 year old roofs brought up to today's standards by an efficient, pleasant and hardworking team. No hesitation in recommending and will be using myself for any further outdoor maintenance.

Alex and his team, did our flat roof with the new rubber roofing. Absolutely superb job. He went far beyond what was needed to make sure our job was finished to his high standards.

Wishing all the boys a merry Christmas and a happy New year. Jimmy and Heather, Erraid, Canalside
Excellent service from Alex and his team. Work carried out quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended.
This was a very difficult job to do as it was steel parts they were having to drill into as opposed to wood, they did a first class job of replacing gutters, lovely guys, so polite, place left neat and tidy, wood highly recommended them to anyone needing work done.
Very professional service. Removed my old ridge tiles and replaced with a new dry ridge system. Soffits, fascia's and guttering all replaced in anthracite grey. Also cleaned and treated roof tiles to last a good few years. Very happy with service.
My garage roof has required attention for some time now, it was listed as a grade 3 repair in a survey 2 years ago. The response from Alexander Roofing was prompt and very informative, the replacement work was carried out to a high standard, I found Alex and his team both professional and approachable. I would certainly have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Alexander Roofing to others as a reliable and reasonably priced solution.
Excellent service and communication through out instillation . Excellent job done

I’m very pleased with the instant response from Alec of Alexander Roofing as I had an emergency after torrential rain and my flat roof was letting in water badly, he went above and beyond to help me as I am on my own. I was glad to find someone who is local and been in business for many years and that’s what I based my choice on. I feel confident the resealing of both my flat roofs will serve me well for a long time to come and if not I have his long guaranteed which I also have confidence in.
Quick, onsite response to request for roof clean and minor repair quote. Work done on schedule and to a high standard under the close personal supervision of the company owner. Customer satisfaction established before sign off. No hesitation in recommending Alexander Roofing.
Alec and his team replaced all of my dry verge which had been damaged due to bad installation by another business. It was done quickly, efficiently and professionally and is visibly better than the previous vendor and has left me much happier that it has been done well to a very high standard. Delighted with his work and would definitely recommend him
I contacted Alexander roofing and he responded very quickly and gave us a quote to re roof our bungalow. We accepted the quote and they carried out the work to a very high standard. I would highly recommend them.
Very good
Alex and his team fitted new facias, soffits and guttering around our bungalow and fixed a water leak in a roof gully. Very pleased with the work and the high standard of the work. We would use him again and happily recommend his work.
After making the intial contact by phone I had a visit and an estimate was agreed. Approximate start date was agreed and although unavoidable circumstances delayed the start of work it went ahead to my satisfaction. The work was carried out while I was away and on return seemed to me to have been done to a high standard. Detail of the work undertaken was explained to my satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending this company for a friendly, professional and effective service. I fully intend seeking advice on any future work required on my roof.
Had the large roof and garage roof cleaned and treated and some guttering replaced, it now looks like new. Asked Alex to then quote to fit a dry ridge system and replace a few tiles, and went ahead and had it done. Alex went the extra mile and even worked at the weekend to complete the jobs to make sure he could fit us in in time to get solar panels fitted.When other companies don't respond, to find someone who doesn't let you down is brilliant.
