Absolutely fantastic service by Neil! Myself and partner were recommended Neil by a couple of our friends who were using him also at the time. Neil was very helpful, quick and efficient from start to finish throughout the house buying process. Being first time buyers we didn’t have a clue where to start or how to go about buying a house. Neil made this whole process super easy and put both our minds to ease as we thought it was going to be the most stressful process! From start to finish cannot thank Neil enough for the work and support he put in for us both. After our application had gone through Neil also helped us to get our life insurance quotes and set them up for us. Definitely recommend to anyone that is looking to buy a house! Couldn’t have found a better person/company to use! Many Thanks once again Neil! More...

Highly recommend Neil to help with mortgage and property purchase process, my girlfriend and I were first time buyers and didn’t know how most of the process is approached but Neil explained and pointed us in the right direction, gave us good recommendations for company’s to use for the mortgage, insurance and site surveys while also being flexible around who we wanted to use too. Was always available to message or call if we had any questions or setbacks along the way and always assured us that we’d get there and we did. Thanks again Neil for all the help and again highly recommend to help get the best mortgage for you. More...

Neil was recommended to me by my partner and I could not have chosen a better mortgage advisor. As a single buyer, I was very unsure of how difficult buying house might be. Neil was amazing throughout this process and kept in contact all the way through. When I was having difficulties with communication with my solicitor, he was able to obtain the information I required and put my mind at ease. I can see why my partner recommended him to not only myself but also to his family. I have already recommended Neil to my friend and would advise anyone looking at buying a house to speak to Neil. Thank you so much for everything, it has been greatly appreciated! More...

Neil was fantastic throughout our mortgage application. From the beginning he handled our information carefully and sensitively enabling him to access a range of products that would suit our specific needs. Neil also helped find the right life insurance cover at a competitive price, but also a comprehensive solution that could put our minds at ease. Your Home Mortgages really took some of the stress away from the move and I cannot praise Neil enough for his swift communication and professionalism. Thanks Alex and Emily More...

He took his time to explain every step of the process and was more than happy to answer all of our questions (there were a few! ) As a freelancer during the pandemic my income made the application process quite a bit trickier - Neil couldn’t have been more helpful and went out of his way to make sure we were still able to get a great mortgage offer.

Fantastic service! Thank you Neil for all your help support and advice right from the very start. You were there to provide us with options before we went in to confirming a sale or purchase. You fully supported us and took the pressure off with mortgage applications and went the extra mile by getting an even better deal and reducing fees elsewhere saving a considerable amount of money on an option we didn’t think would have been viable. You kept in contact on a regular basis making sure things were progressing as they should be (although it was a little drawn out) and always offered to help and pass on advice where necessary. Even after the sale and purchase went through you continued to help further by looking into insurance policies and finding the best one to suit our needs, amongst other queries that I had. A very reliable, professional and friendly service. Nothing was ever to much. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks again for all your help, very much appreciated. More...

Roofing Services
A pitched roof is classic. It’s a structure that lasts, adds character to your home and brings with it some great benefits to the insulation and weather-proofing elements of your build. Pitched roofs can be constructed in minimal time, and require no extra treatment for weather resistance or proofing With the right maintenance a roof can enjoy a longevity well beyond its guarantee.
Annual inspections and regular cleaning not only allow the roofs inbuilt systems of protection to work to their fullest, the also allow for any problems to be spotted and overcome quickly and easily - especially if caught early enough. operatives, as trained roofing engineers, are able to do far more than simply cleaning your roof, and with experience upwards of 25 years our operatives have a keen eye for areas which seem to be developing problems.
This can mean the difference between repairing a tear in the waterproof membrane before damp has become a problem, and searching for the cause of a leak in the building.
Our services include:

We prefer our master craftsmen to take ownership of the roof that they are working on and that can only be achieved if they have carried out all of the work – carpentry, roofing and lead work.

Dry Verge
Fed up with having to repeatedly re-point the edges of your tiled roof?
installations provide the only permanent maintenance-free solution to the problem of tiled edges on roofs. We fit the latest uPVC Dry Verge systems, suitable for weather-proofing almost all types of tiled and slated roof edges.
Tiled roofs have a cement infill on the edges of the roof above the bargeboards. This tiled edge cracks and perishes causing the cement to drop out (potentially on you or your car!) and the edge to become insecure in high winds.
Dry Verge look so much better than cement and will hold your tiles in place even in severe weather. Our own specially developed Dry Verge installation system provides additional fixings for ultimate protection and ensures a permanent and completely secure edge to your roof.
We also install Dry Verge systems suitable for slated and small-tile roofs called
Before fitting Dry Verge we always remove all the existing perished cement from the tiled edge as this only serves to retain moisture causing the tile battens to deteriorate. This has the added bonus of improving ventilation to help preserve the tile battens. We trim the tiles to give the precise overhang specified by the Dry Verge unit manufacturer. We then check the condition of the existing tile battens and roofing felt and repair as necessary. Next we install an additional longitudinal tanalised timber batten for extra strength and security. Finally after all this thorough preparation we securely fix the Dry Verge units into place.
In addition we can maintain your RIDGE TILES in 3 ways:
By the traditional method of removal, cleaning, rebedding and repointing your existing clay ridge tiles. However this will always require periodic renewal as in time the weather will loosen the ridge tiles requiring the process to be repeated every few years By the more secure method of a roll-out dry ridge system which retains your existing clay tiles secures them to the ridge beam of your roof with proprietary fixings and clamping plates.
By the permanent method of completely removing your existing clay ridge tiles and replacing them with Smartridge PVCu ridge tiles screwed directly into the ridge beam of your roof. Not only does this eliminate the need for any further maintenance it also improves the ventilation in your loft space reducing The risk of condensation. Smartridge is suitable for hipped roofs as well as the main ridge at the apex.
All our installations are undertaken by our experienced teams of professional qualified joiners to ensure the highest quality standards on every job.
