“New Roof”

Janice M.
3/2/22

Hugh Stewart from Active Roof and Property Care arrived to remove moss off of my roof. On doing this discovered so many broken tiles that I decided to renew the roof completely. We made a date and decided on a price then it was all go. Hugh arrived back with his team who were a lovely bunch of guys who all worked hard despite weather interruptions with humour politeness and care. I couldn't have asked for better. On completion all was tidied up and you wouldn't have known they had been there apart from my nice new roof. Recommend Hugh to 100%.

“Disappointing”

Disappointing when tradesmen turn up to look at job request. Tell you they will be in contact with a quote and you don't hear from them again. Its just time wasting!

Within an hour of posting on the website I had 3 phone calls and later that day 2 visits and quotes. The successful plasterer came in didnt look at the ceilings, but instead looked at the floor which is wood laminate and carpet on stairs. He desceibbed in great detail how he was going to protect the floor and spoke with confidence and authority on how he would do the job. True to his word he laid protection and the job was completed with minimum mess, and in the time frame he said. Well done Jeff.

The website is marvelous... but when I responded with positive comments of the workmen (no women) it didn't appear to have received my responses!

After awhile it became irritating, as you kept asking me to respond on VERY POSITIVE comments!

Great website for the "1960's OLDIES!"

Very pleased with service. Kept me informed at every stage and finished job to a professional standard. Liaised with me regarding picking up keys etc as I was living with my aged mother at the time. These are the small details. That make a difference

Think one piece off roofing felt 4by 6 under 1.1/2, hours £1000 pounds I think is over the top

We are sorry to hear you aren't happy and agree it does sound expensive for the roofing job you have stated. I'm afraid the costs of jobs aren't something we get involved with as it is down to the customer and tradesperson to agree on the cost before the job takes place. We are actually in the process of writing some cost guides for certain jobs to help customers to understand how much on average a job should cost. These will be posted on Mylocaltoolbox.co.uk very soon.

Darren did an excellent job of my kitchen tiles and I am more than happy with the outcome. He was on time and cleared up after he finished the job. I would highly recommend him to others.

I thought I was on a safe website with My local toolbox not realising it's controlled by Rated People. My experience of Rated People is far from good and proved yet again. I I received a quote from someone who ended up ruining my new conservatory roof after lead work to resolve an ongoing leak. Not only did I pay an excessive amount for the work but a week later the leak proved to be no better. Since then I've found out that lead was not used just cheap bitumen which was secured in place with a heat gun. I contacted My local toolbox with full details when the tradesman was ignoring my texts despite a verbal and written guarantee for the work done. I received a sympathetic email back and informed my complaint would be forwarded to Rated People their controlling company. Again a standard sympathetic email but the end result being told that this 'tradesman' was no longer registered with them therefore not their responsibility despite me reminding them that he was registered with them a couple of weeks earlier when he was put in contact with me. This is the second time Rated People have linked me with tradesmen who were not qualified to do work and their vetting system has proved to be very suspect.

Initially wanted my conservatory roof insulating, tried the specialist companies who wanted huge money. Put the job on mylocaltoolbox and got a response very quickly from Inland Property and a very competitive quote. Paul and Shane replaced the whole roof, installed 120mm insulation and finished the roof both inside and out to a very high standard for less than half the price of "specialist companies" the job was done very quickly and neatly by two very nice men.

John arrived under 1 hour after i contacted him for a quote the quote given was fair for the 2 days work which was lounge/dinning room and fit arch. John and his team where on time on both days and the work was carried out to a high standard. Once the work was completed John and team clean in and out side and was left tidy. For future customers note when plastering its impossible that the area will not be dusty. Well done to john and his team for a job well done and would highly recommend to future customers. Thank you John and team, please can you make sure john views these comments, thank you Dave.

As a tradesman, Please do not join them. They are part of rated people.
They are robbers, dodgy people and sell dodgy leads. Most of the customers are not serious customers.
Same leads published over and over again.
Again stay away.

I looked for an electrician to replace light switches, after receiving quotes, I chose the one most suited to my budget. The worked was completed quickly and efficiently and no mess was left

2 boys came to my house for my roofing job and scammed me £700. The name on the letter head paper says "ROOFING CONTRACT" and they signed a guarantee of 25yrs. Then, I allowed them to climb my roof as I was going to work that morning but they didn't do the job. Instead, they used a grey colour paint and smeared on the roof and left and when it rained the following day, the leak became worst.
I tried to call them with the number they gave to me and the line went dead, after a week later, they rang with a different number and demanded for a balance payment of £300 with threats that they worked for me and I owe them a balance.
The first day the came they gave their name as Jason but the name on the bank account was "Theo Clayton". This second time they requested for a balance payment, used a different name.

The team cut the tree down and cleaned up within 2 hrs. The price was very competitive, were others asking very stupid prices (£300+ per hr)
