We contacted Heritage Roofing after 10 years of failed attempts to resolve the problem of rainwater leaking into the loft space from the chimney of our Grade II listed building. Russell immediately impressed us with his knowledge and passion for his trade, which proved invaluable in detailed discussions with the District Council’s Senior Planning Officer (Heritage). The work involved dismantling the failing chimney stack, rebuilding it with reclaimed bricks and lime mortar, and renewing leadwork, over a period of 4 months. Russell responded promptly to messaging, kept us fully informed of progress and maintained excellent communication throughout. He has a team of tradesmen with specialist skills in all aspects of the trade (brick work, rendering, leadwork, slate work etc.) who maintained excellent application and time keeping. The work having been completed to the highest standards we are happy to give Heritage Roofing Southwest our highest commendation.

Russ and his team did an excellent job at our house. Two jobs were completed. They scraped out and repointed a stone wall which was causing damp issues. They also sorted out the lead flashing and pointing to a conservatory roof which a previous bunch of cowboys had messed up. Their work is meticulous, and we have every confidence that we are now free from leaks and damp. Russ took great pride in the job and visited regularly during the work. He inspected everything to sign off at the end of each stage. We would thoroughly recommend Heritage Roofing Southwest.

Don’t be fooled by the name. If you own a listed building or any kind of heritage asset, this business should be on your speed dial, for roofing or literally anything else. We contacted them about a leaking window in a stone built barn conversion. Russell provided expert advice about potential solutions, and several recommendations. In the end we decided to try scraping out the terrible job done by the original builders around the window, installing a new lintel and repointing the entire wall with lime mortar. The work was carried out to an exceptionally high standard, and looks fantastic. During the work the team identified several issues that were clearly contributing to the problem, and fixed them promptly and to an equally high standard. We were kept fully informed throughout the work. The cost was incredibly reasonable for the amount of hours put in, and the team were polite, friendly and a pleasure to have around. The finished work looks fantastic and (touch wood) seems to have solved the problem. I’m already making a list of all the other work I’d love to have done, and frankly I don’t think I’ll ever let anyone else touch so much as a downspout here as long as Russell and his team are in business.

Russell and his team carried out a really excellent repair after our roof leaked and water came through to the rooms below. He was a pleasure to meet and really cared that the work would be done thoroughly and properly. The repair was completed quickly, communication was excellent, and the site was cleared up very well on completion. I can therefore highly recommend Heritage Roofing Southwest, Russell and his team. This is backed up by the scaffolders, who said they always recommend him when asked for a good roofer. A leaking roof means a very anxious time, but I genuinely trust Russell to provide a good outcome.

I met Russ on a line course where he had taken his team to develop their skills and knowledge. Even on the course, it was clear Russ is a consummate professional. They were my first thought when I needed to work on the house. Russ and his team are awesome. Russ is passionate about his trade, and this runs off on his team. Tasks big and small (and for us, it is and has been both) are treated equally. Russ won’t blind you with science, he’ll tell you the truth. He is super helpful, super tidy and won’t leave the site until you are 100% happy. I trust Russ and his team implicitly, and they will always be my default building service. 100% recommended and happy to show his teams work on my house to anyone considering his services.

Heritage Roofing Southwest really helped me. My fixed roof light shattered, and I was looking to replace it with an opening window, instead, and was getting ready to order the new window when Russ came on board. He was the only person to check the weight of the window, and it turned out that I would need extensive roof work to support the much heavier window. Because of his input, I was able to make a clear and much better choice to have the window replaced as original, so saving me from a very expensive, time-consuming and stressful operation. So I was immediately very grateful. The company who made the window fitted it, but were not qualified to fix the lead flashings and replace slate tiles. Even though it was such a small job, Heritage Roofing Southwest kindly made time, on a Sunday, to come and check the window and fix everything properly so I could rest assured, with complete peace of mind, that it would all be leak free. Russ is patiently passing on his expert, valuable knowledge to a young apprentice and we all had fun as I watched Russ teaching and the young one learning. Russ told me it was the perfect size job for this so I was happy, and the whole experience was a pleasure.
