M Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing Contractors is described by customers as friendly and professional, with Mac and his team often praised for clear communication and helpful updates. Several reviewers mention drone photos and before-and-after pictures that show what was done, and many report tidy, polite teams. Customers describe work on flat roofs, lead flashings, dormers, leaks and guttering, with several saying they would use the firm again or recommend it. Some reviewers note delays, often linked to weather, and one says the wait for work to start can be long because the firm is busy.
Mac and his team has done a few roofing jobs for us and has always been friendly and efficient. When we lost a couple of tiles in the recent storm Mac did everything he could to get them replaced quickly so we didn't suffer any internal damage. The work is always good quality and he provides before and after photos so you can see what has been done, as it isn't always possible to get up and see on a roof. I would happily recommend him and his friendly team!
Mac and the team are very professional and experienced, they come with a strong history of local authority contracts, e.g. working on The Royal Pavilion and at the Knepp Estate. Mac responded quickly to come and give me a quote and thereafter always responded to my messages in good time, with clarity and professionalism. The team who came to do the work were polite, friendly and respectful. I am very pleased with the work done and would recommend them or use them again myself.
Excellent work in a really difficult position. Only a small job but they done everything to make it right. Highly recommended
We had a flat extension roof that was badly damaged and leaking in my walls. Mac was incredibly responsive, came to investigate the damage quickly, and they were able to change the whole roof in just a day, before the rain started again. He was very understanding and kind, I definitely recommend his services, I know we'll call him again when our main roof needs redoing.
Mac and his team did a great job fixing a catastrophic leak in my grade 2 listed property. This also included fully refurbishing a rotten window rather than simply replacing it and incurring more expense. Mac's communication was excellent and his team are polite and considerate. I would happily recommend him.
Over the last 2 years I have used this local company to replace 2 flat roofs and on both occasions the work has been completed to a high standard, the work undertaken in a professional and timely manner. Mac communicates fully with you and his team leave the site clean and tidy. Would recommend this company to anyone needing a replacement roof.
Mac and his team are fantastic. They carried out two big, complex jobs in super quick time. When they discovered that some extra work was needed, they completed it for free, to stay inside their original quote. They also responded to an emergency during a downpour, again for no charge. Exceptional work, and great people!
Mac and his team did a great job on our flat roof and balcony, which both needed resurfacing due to badly installed GRP and water coming into the ceilings below. They used a new product called LRS, which now that it's finished looks very waterproof. They were punctual, friendly and worked hard in particularly harsh conditions during the heatwave. We had our rooflight replaced at the same time, as that had also failed and they did all the lead flashing around it, which looks really smart. I would definitely recommend.
Mac came promptly to quote for our fixing leak. They are pretty busy but was happy to wait as their reviews were so good. Was delayed a few times due to the heat wave, but very happy with the professional quality of the work and the tidiness of the team.
Very pleased with Mac Marchant's work. I discovered a small leak in my dormer roof the morning I was leaving to go abroad for a week, and Mac was the first roofer to get back to me on my way to the airport, and came round with a drone while I was away (a neighbour let him in to check inside the house) to give me a quote. It took a while for him to come fix the leak because of the extreme heat we've had, which is understandable, but he's done a great job because we've had quite a bit of rain over the past week, some of it quite heavy, and everything's fine! He also saved me some money when he saw that my roof's lead flashings didn't need repairing, and replaced another four broken tiles at no extra cost. I'll happily use him again if I need to!
I highly recommend Mac and his team. We only had a minor job but he was quick to reply, helpful with his advice and had everything sorted within a few days at a reasonable price - can't ask for more!
Found that some tiles were missing at the top of our roof. M Marchant came round really quickly and checked the roof with a drone. The pictures revealed 3 missing tiles leaving a hole that wind or rain would worsen. A scaffold tower was ordered and ere ted. The following day the tiles were replaced and the roof checked over. This all took less than a week, brilliant. Also just in time as the following day it started to rain. Checked the loft all nice and dry.
Excellent service from start to finish. I had a rear elevation apex verge repair carried out. The team were professional, reliable and took pride in their work. The repair was completed to a high standard and everything was clean and today afterwards. I have also used the company on other occasions and they have been brilliant.
Excellent roofing service I would highly recommend M. Marchant Specialist Roofing & Leadwork Ltd. They carried out roofing work on my flat in Hove and I was very impressed with the whole experience. Mac was responsive, professional and clear from the outset. The quotation was detailed and included a thorough analysis of the problems, along with drone photographs showing the areas of concern and exactly what needed attention. This made it very easy to understand the work required and gave me confidence in the proposed solutions. The work was completed as quoted, with no unexpected additional costs, which was particularly appreciated. Overall, a very professional and reliable service from start to finish. I would definitely use Mac again and have no hesitation in recommending him.
Had roof, chimney and dormer repairs. Great communication, lovely team. Would absolutely recommend.
Work was done to the highest standard. Excellent communication, with Mac patiently providing updated quotes as the scope of work kept changing. Scott and Tom worked incredibly hard through one of the hottest weeks of the year, remaining cheerful, polite and punctual. They left everything neat and tidy. Really impressed. Highly recommend.
Very professional, polite and fast, they did a great job very happy
Mac and his team did a great job repairing a leak in our flat roof, working under tough conditions: a heatwave, road closures, and a very difficult flat to get through, with narrow hallways and steep stairs. The terrible weather delayed the start of the work, but Mac was very communicative throughout the whole process, from the initial estimate through the swift completion of the job. The team was friendly, polite, and extremely tidy, and the before and after pictures of the work were really appreciated. If we ever need more roofwork, we'll call Mac!
Prompt and competitive quote, worked with me to schedule works within a bigger house project, very professional team who worked hard to get the job done. Thank you all.
Fantastic job! They provided a great quote, and the work was completed ahead of schedule to an excellent standard. They were incredibly fast, professional, and efficient throughout the entire process. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would be more than happy to recommend them to anyone.
The repairs to my guttering were carried out professionally and effectively, thank you
Mac and his team did an incredible job and were a pleasure to deal with. I would strongly recommend using his company.
Mac and his team did a great job installing a new lead parapet gutter with outlet to my property. All works were done with care and attention. I would highly recommend them for any roofing repairs.
I am happy to recommend Mac Marchant and his team, for the high quality and professional works they have carried out. Mac has helped out twice now and each time, it has been excellent work. The communication is great, the photos excellent and peace of mind. I found Mac on the Trading Standards Approved list.
Great service from Mac and the team. New flat roof in two days - Scott, Tom and John were hardworking, efficient and did a fantastic job.
All the way from quote to invoice the communication was superb. There was a very clear description with photos / drawings of the work proposed, and before and after photos to show the completion of the work. The work was carried out in a professional manner and it looks very robust. We're hoping it finally solves the problem!
Great service from Mac and his team. This is the second time I have used Marchants and they are professional and effective.
I contacted several companies about repairing my leaking roof. Some did not return my call and others failed to turn up. However, Mac came out the next day to survey my roof and within a couple of days, as he'd promised, I received photos of the roof where the repair was needed together with a written quotation detailing the work required. Mac and his team were extremely professional and carried out the repair on my roof without any unnecessary delays and to a very high standard. I was sent photos of the work in progress so I could see exactly what they had done at every stage. I cannot praise this company highly enough and would use them again without hesitation.
Very happy with speed, price and professionalism of Mac and his team. They were able to fit me in on the same day for some emergency flashing repair. Would highly recommend!
Expert advice afforded always, and exemplary work carried out every time. We work on roofs, and always go to Mac, for specialist input.
Marchant's came to remove the old flash banding from our Church zinc roof joints and replacing it with a self adhesive rubber flashing. They also carried out work on re-fixing wall tiles to the rear of our building. The work was delayed for some time due to wet weather but we were kept informed over the delay. We are pleased with the work that was carried out and the team who were efficient and considerate and a pleasure to deal with.
Mac was great to deal with, walking us through what was needed and giving a detailed, clear estimate with drone photos etc. His team were all lovely, (we hardly knew they were there most of the time!). Would recommend!
Great work done - used a few times already, very easy to deal with and a quality job
Mac and his team did a great job. Mac was open with his quotes, trustworthy and reduced costs where he could, reliable in delivering the job. Would highly recommend.
Highly recommend Mac and his team. From the initial visit to the completion of the job the whole team were thorough and professional. Communication was fast and clear with detailed estimates throughout the job. We will use again when we have any roofing requirements.
good quality work, polite & friendly staff
After terrible experiences with a number of roofers over the years I finally decided to get the pros in to fix ongoing issues with a leaking gutter on an 1850s terraced property. Although the wait for work to start can be long as they are so good, once they started I couldn't have been more pleased. The quality of workmanship was excellent and the roofing team worked extremely hard with long hours and fantastic attention to detail to get everything sorted (with a constant eye on the weather forecast). Very happy all round and hope I never have to see another roofer for years!!
Would recommend Mac - super thorough, amazing attention to detail- lovely bunch :)
We've used M.Marchant previously and the experience was very bit as good this time. Really efficient, careful, courteous and most importantly, a very high standard of workmanship. Oh, and the invoice was the same as the estimate, no hidden extras. Highly recommend.
We had a leak in one of the flat roofs at our dormer bungalow & asked Msc to have a look as his firm had done work for us at our old house. He surveyed the 2 roofs with the help of a drone & advised on a ourse of action, proving a detailed estimate. After arranging scaffolding the work proceeded smoothly & we are very happy with the result. The team are a great bunch.
Mac and his team from M. Marchant’s fitted new lead abutment flashings to our extension roof. The process from quoting to completing was easy and stress free. The quality of work is excellent. The team were also very helpfully discussing other improvements. We would definitely use them again and happy to recommend.
Friendly, seemed a decent price and work carried out looks good (as a non-roofing expert)
Just had Mac at M. Marchant attend to look at an issue we have with a small leak. Mac came round within a couple of days of initial contact, sent a drone up an identified an issue with some work my neighbours recently had done which he felt was likely causing the issue. Really lovely guy, really helpful advice. Would certainly contact for any future roof work
I contacted M.Marchant because we had a water coming through a bedroom ceiling when it rained. Mac got back to me within a couple of hours and within a few days, he had been round, sent his drone up to assess the issue, come up with the likely solution and sent a very reasonable quote to fix it. Although it was a small job, Mac was happy to take it on and his roofers came around and fixed it quickly and efficiently. Mac is transparent and straight forward about the possible issues and costs, responsive with communication, friendly and professional, as were his team. I would not hesitate to recommend M.Marchant or use them again.
We had a small roof above a window that had been originally done in lead but was old and no longer performing well. We considered a range of re-roofing options. Mac from Marchants came out to give a quote for re-covering the roof in lead. He seemed straight, focussed and proud of his work. We had wondered about other roof coverings but went with Marchants and lead (as per original build). They did a superb looking job. I met Mac and the two tradesman before work. They were all friendly and easy to talk to and obviously experienced and competent. We discussed details. When I came back, the work was done. I'm no expert roofer but an engineer by trade and could the see the care that had gone ionto the work. Thank you
We had M. Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing undertake two rounds of work at our property, which included felting two firewalls and chimneys, lead lining a parapet gutter that was previously pooling with water, and renovating three dormers. The work was of a high standard and we are very happy with the results. Communication with Mac, the director, and his team was always timely, clear, and professional. The firm came recommended to us and we would be very happy to recommend them to others.
Mac and his team are fantastic. Worked with Brian Crane to create a beautiful balcony for us with a floating floor. Also carried out lead repairs. Would really recommend.
M.Marchant did a splendid job for us. They were quick, professional and competitively priced. They communicated well and were responsive to changing circumstances in what could have been a complex job. I would not hesitate to recommend them for roofing work.
Very easy to work with and good communication. Finished article looks excellent, hoping and expecting it will withstand the test of time.
Mac did a great job which went smoothly.
Dealing with Mac the owner was smooth and stress free. The team who carried out the work were hardworking and friendly with high standards. The new flat roof/skylight/facia/extraction chimney are great. I'm really impressed. Would use again!
Totally professional service, carried out to high standards, per the estimate, and on time - i would confidently recommend. Great team of guys too.
Mac and his team are great and have done multiple jobs for me - thoroughly recommend!
Great work repairing of our roof. Easy to contact, dedicated and efficient. Thanks to the team!
Mac and the team did a fantastic job on our bay window lead roof replacement and gully repairs, they were efficient and high-quality lead roofers, paying careful attention to detail and finish, they did a really excellent job
Mac and his crew did great work for us repairing out chimney and we would definitely use again. Good quote provided which was understandable and reasonable. Work carried out promptly and when things developed Mac was happy to liaise with all stakeholders. A quality service!
Excellent service from Mac and his team at M. Marchant. Competitive quote to install lead flashings on shared firewall with stainless steel fixings. Roofers were efficient, tidy and very polite.
Mac and his team were great. They did a fantastic job. I'd highly recommend.
Great service from Mac and his team
Quick to the call and action the issue, highly recommend, thanks again
Mac and his colleagues did a great job in an efficient and hassle free way. We are very pleased with the workmanship and the way he kept us informed on progress.
I highly recommended Mac at M Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing Contractors. He was recommended to me by a friend. He responded very quickly when I contacted him, and then came very quickly and looked at my roof, took drone photos and made his recommendations. Thank you Mac.
Mac did a brilliant job of removing our back chimney and replacing the area where it was with tiles that matched the tiles already nearby. He's also done a great job of fixing the leak in our front chimney. He was very professional throughout, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Thoroughly recommended. When you employ someone to repair your roof you need complete confidence in them. M Marchant is Trust Mark approved, the accreditation scheme operated by Trading Standards. I particularly like the fact that the quotation for the work comprised drone photography of the roof. Similarily, the invoice was accompanied by pictures of the completed repairs.
Mac and his team repaired my roof a few months ago. All of the staff team that I met were so professional and friendly, They did a great job - very efficient and very good at what they do. Thanks to Mac and his wonderful team. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. The roof repair is great.
A neat job done, kept to the quote, roofers all pleasant and respectful. Mac communicates well which is a relief considering experiences we’ve had with others. Thanks Mac.
Great company that l I would definitely recommend. The communication has been great from start to finish and the work looks like it's been done to a high standard. The team that did the job were also really friendly. (Firewalls and Chimney)
Excellent quality work and commitment to doing things to best practice. Bit of stress along the way but all worked out in the end. We’re all under too much time pressure these days!
As a property manager and prior to that a general builder I have used Mac and his team for lead work for many years. He has always provided an excellent service and attention to detail. Recently I have used his services again when my own roof started leaking. The central lead valley was replaced completely and lead flashings were replaced around the chimneys, firewall and parapet wall at the front. This was quite a large job and as usual Mac's team carried it out to the highest standard. I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others. Simon D Central Hove
I'm always impressed by Matthew's professionalism. He clearly really cares and is passionate about every single job he carries out.
I had part of the roof repaired with lead sheeting. I was very happy with the work. The tradespeople were great, quick, polite and tidy. I was happy with the estimate, Mac was great and gave me lots of information to make my choices. He was also reassuring and evidently experienced. That was important to me as a single woman with no clue. Candida Brighton June 2024
Mac replaced a bay window lead roof for us, and we were delighted with the results. Mac was easy to contact and responsive throughout the quoting and scheduling stages. The team worked hard to keep to schedule and left a clean and tidy site. Happy to recommend.
These guys repaired my flat roof that had been a problem for years, and had had two previous replacements by other roofers or builders that had been inadequate. The job was smashed out by 3 workers in a day, and the result was perfect. The very next morning after they finished there was I huge downpour that previously would have led to water coming down our walls, but I'm pleased to say the roof was sound and there was no leakage. This excellent work was also done at a really reasonable price, and Mac was a good communicator who fitted us in as quickly as we hoped. Thanks so much.
Mac's team repaired the roof in early 2024. Earlier in the year he'd used a drone to survey the roof and provided a quote which I was happy with. He booked scaffolding in, the job was then slightly delayed due to the poor weather we had but generally communication was ok and when the job started it was done quickly and without hassle, with before and after pictures provided to show what they had done. Generally a very good service, would recommend.
Mac at M. Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing Contractors was friendly, professional and trustworthy. He listened carefully to what we wanted done and completed the work in a timely manner, especially considering the amount of rain we've had recently. We'd recommend Mac and M. Marchant Specialist Lead Roofing Contractors to anyone needing work done on their roof or chimney.
Mac and his team repaired the chimney and firewall, replaced fascia and gutters on our property. I am pleased with the standard of work and his patience and response to any additional requests we had along the way. Thanks Mac. Jasmina
Very reliable and professional company
My second time using Mac and his team. He clearly has deep expertise in his craft, giving honest advice and carrying out work with both care and speed, all at a reasonable price.
Excellent work all-round and Mac keeps you informed throughout the entire process. Highly recommended.
We contacted a number of local roofing companies to find and repair a roof leak - notoriously difficult to do as water runs in mysterious ways and sometimes the only evidence is the final drip, somewhere away from the point of entry. Some companies sent a rep who we never heard from again, some never showed up at all, one flew a drone, promised the photos and a quote but we never heard from him again and MB Roofing Ltd were honest and told us they were simply too busy. Then, fortunately, Mac from M Marchant Ltd turned up with his drone, took some really very good videos and photos and gave us an acceptable quote. We found Mac himself to be very personable and straightforward all the time, and his team were no different. They were efficient, very polite and cleaned up after themselves - which won my wife over in particular. They did a very good job and, just for good measure Mac sent us all the before, during and after photos as well - which we weren’t expecting! We would not hesitate to recommend Marchants to anyone in the Brighton and Hove area.
I'm so pleased with the work completed by Mac and his team. They fixed a badly leaking roof, identified the causes and best fix. Workmanship is first class and his team were professional and friendly. Highly recommended!
Mac and his team were incredibly professional and efficient. Communication was excellent and they were lovely people. I know nothing about roofing, but it looks like they have done a great job.
Mac and his team carried extensive repair work on my roof. I am completely satisfied with the finished job and was kept informed of progress and the job was within the estimate provided. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm for roofing work.
Excellent service from start to finish. Plus the guys who did the work were an absolute joy to have around. Definitely recommend.
Needed flat roof replaced. Even through the dreadful weather Mac kept us informed of when the work would be done. Scott and Tom completed the work in a few days, to a very high standard. We're delighted with the quality. Would recommend Marchant's roof specialist - and will definitely be using them again when the need arises. Very professional in all they do.
Mac and his team are very professional, polite and fast, also very reasonably priced. Have had two roof repairs done by him now and very satisfied - also very good lead roof specialist -
Just brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend these guys and will definitely use them in future.
Mac and his team have done extensive roofing work on our building and they were reliable, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you!
Excellent, courteous service and a very good quality of workmanship.
Quality craftsmanship and able to review alternative options as the work progressed. Final result is outstanding!
The work was done on the date and at the price agreed, and to a high quality. I would recommend this company.
Really lovely job, thank you. Great communication, very professional team and super quality work.
Mac and his team were amazing. Navigating awful weather but always communicating with us. They investigated the problems we’ve been having with the roof and chimney extensively and professional, giving excellent advice to hopefully rectify the problems.
Installed lead work for our new side-return. We are very impressed and pleased with the work
Mac and his team were friendly and efficient. They saved the damage to our ceiling from getting any worse by identifying and fixing a leak in our valley gutter. Would strongly recommend.
Marchant Lead Roofing replaced a worn felt small bay roof on an Edwardian cottage with a smart lead bay roof in "original" style, including insulation. Excellent workmanship with careful attention to detail. Very pleased with the result. Mac always kept me informed regarding progress and always responded promptly to queries, from the original appointment to job completion. He also made helpful suggestions regarding finishing touches. Scaffolding was arranged by him in good time and a before and after portfolio of pictures was also provided on completion. A pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. 10 out of 10!
Just had my flat roof replaced by M Marchant and had a good experience. The guys doing the work were punctual and friendly and got the work done quickly and efficiently.
M. Marchant Lead Roofing was suggested by another roofing company that specialised in felt, because we really wanted to fix the lead-work not replace it. This is saying something that another roofer will big-up a different company entirely. Working with Mac and his team was easy, and the work was (is) exemplary. They communicate well, keep the client informed, and when things invariably are found that need some extra work M.Marchant was always able to give a few options that suit one's budget. One doesn't need a roofing company often, but it's wonderful when the work is done quickly, to a high standard, and completed on time. Top marks, and my highest recommendation as lead roofing specialists!
I cannot express how excellent the service was that M Marchant provided. The works were carried out to the highest of standards by very polite and professional guys. I am sure the new lead work will be there and looking beautiful for the next hundred years. Thank you so much.
Storm Eunice caused a roof leak in our new home, a few weeks after we moved in. Stressful! Mac was quick to send over a reasonable itemised quote within 24 hours. Whilst we did have to wait about a week and a half for the work to be done (the storm created havoc in our area and roofers were in great demand), Mac was always quick to respond with any queries we had. The work was completed to a high standard and we were very happy with it. Mac is very friendly and professional and we would highly recommend M.Marchant for all your roofing needs.
Everything from the quote to the job was dealt with swiftly. This was much appreciated. Great company and a job well done. Thank you Mac!
Mac was very responsive to emails and provided a clear and accurate quote. The work was performed without fuss and no rubbish was left behind.
I can highly recommend Mac and his team. He used a drone to inspect our roof and box gutter (behind a parapet wall) and provided pictures along with a competitive quote. His team replaced our box gutter, sealed chimney stacks, and replaced the lead roof over a bay window. Mac kept us fully updated at every stage and sorted out scaffolding, as well as recommending others to work on our windows at the same time (even arranging for the scaffolding to be adjusted). He provided a set of pictures of the finished work and we were really pleased with the finished job.
Mac and his team did an excellent job on the roof. They completed the work on time as per their original estimate which showed all costs broken down. A very professional customer focused job was delivered.
The M. Marchant company re-leaded a gutter at our house, and also re-leaded three valley gutters at my work premises, which is a listed building. In both cases the work was carried to the highest standards, and both sites left clean and tidy.
Mac and his team laid 3 flat rooves on our property and carried out a fair amount of lead work.He did it all within the time scale, arrived when he said he would and was always considerate and tidy. The work he produced was to a very high standard. We were really happy with every aspect of the job and would highly recommend him as a roofing contractor. Great job thanks Mac !
Excellent work on our roof. Provided a very good service at a reasonable price. Very polite scaffolders and contractors too.
Excellent service - initial response was rapid, and the source of the problem identified. All involved used masks inside, work completed with the least disruption possible, updates regularly supplied, creative solution to the unexpected meant I am a happy customer!
Our flat section of the roof needed repairs as there was water ingress into the building.I contacted Mac and he was very responsive and provided a competitive quote for the work needed and scaffolding. They carried out the work as planned. I am happy with the completed work . They were very clean ,polite and interactive whilst working. They gave the impression they knew what they were doing. I am very pleased I selected them to do my roof repairs and can highly recommend M . Merchant roofing contractors.
The work was carried out to a good standard and done on-time. The scaffolding was also removed soon after the work being completed.
Mac and his team replaced all fire wall lead flashings a common problem to Victorian terrace houses in Brighton. Good communication, professional job well done with great care and speed. Work invoiced as per estimate. Very pleased with the result and would highly recommend.
Excellent communication, invoice as per estimate, turned up on time, finished on time, professional job done and cleaned up after. Even did us a favour and returned to check on our neighbour’s chimney. Thank you! Highly recommend.
Mac repaired our roof early in 2021. The quote provided by Mac was well explained and reasonable, helping us navigate a structural survey with clarity and confidence. He and his team were excellent throughout the project. The scaffold was put up when we expected with good communication throughout. The works were carried out as soon as it was possible given the weather and any Covid-19 related issues. They left everything neat and tidy and we have before and after pictures of the jobs carried out. I would definitely recommend them.
