Charles Barr Roofing Maintenance in Edinburgh

I would advise using another roofer for many reasons.

My house insurance ended up successfully obtaining a court decision against him for poor workmanship and even then he just ignored the court order and still today ignores the requests for payment from debt collectors. Clearly he has no guilt in regards to his poor work or paying his debt.
The court decision was based on him failing to install a flat roof correctly and responding to correct his faulty work which he had many an opportunity to perform.

His attendance to the jobsite was very poor (he took more than six months to finish a job that should have taken two weeks), he has left sites for months with nothing but a tarpaulin protecting the interior (which didn't work and resulted in significant water damage). I was constantly chasing him to complete a job and the job quality was poor which has become evident after he was long gone and never came back to fix it.

He uses second rate materials yet bills for high quality materials. It has also become evident that on the last slate slope he used an inferior grade of slate compared to the other slopes, as it has high iron content it started to fail after a few years, he has also used a mix of different scrap nails of different lengths and quality. Some nails were barely securing slates to the roof - a lot started rusting after 2 years which increased the failure rate - I have already had to replace sections of the roof five years on due to his poor workmanship.

So unless you are a roofing expert and monitor his work then I would say go elsewhere. His slating is poor, his flat roofing skills are poor and his attendance and work discipline is a joke.
