What our customers say about Upright Roofing
Real feedback from homeowners in Preston, Leyland, Chorley and across Lancashire. From repairs to complete new roofs, John and the team treat every home like their own.
Our chimney stack was crumbling and I was worried it was getting dangerous. John repointed the whole stack, replaced the flashing and fitted a new cowl. He sent photos of each stage so I could see exactly what was done. Reliable, tidy and great value.
Very happy with the new gutters and downpipes. Everything was fitted neatly and the leaks we had before are gone. The start date moved by a day because of rain, but John phoned ahead to let us know. Good work at a fair price.
We had three quotes for a full re-roof and Upright Roofing were the most honest about what was actually needed. The crew worked hard in changeable weather, protected our garden and finished a day early. The roof looks fantastic and we have had lots of compliments.
A few slipped tiles were letting water in above our front door. John gave us a clear quote over the phone, came out two days later and sorted it in under two hours. No fuss and no hard sell. We have recommended him to our neighbours already.
Excellent lead work around our extension. You can tell John takes real pride in his work.
We needed new guttering, fascias and soffits all round the house. The team arrived early, worked neatly in all weather and finished in one day. The old gutters were taken away, the garden was left tidy and the price was very reasonable. Friendly, honest and professional from the first phone call to the last.
Quick to quote, turned up on time and the chimney repair looks brilliant. Great communication throughout.
Our flat roof had leaked for years and two other firms had only patched it. John took the time to find the real cause, stripped it back and fitted a new roof properly. It has stayed completely dry through the worst weather this winter and the price was fair. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Full new roof fitted and we could not be happier. John explained every step, kept us updated each day and left the site spotless.
We had a leak coming through the bedroom ceiling after the storms and I was dreading the cost. John came out the same week, found the cracked tiles straight away and fixed everything in a single day. He showed us photos before and after, charged exactly what he quoted and cleared up when he left. Highly recommend.
Signs your chimney needs work
- Crumbling or missing mortar between the bricks
- Loose or cracked brickwork
- Flashing that is lifting or has gaps
- Damp patches on the chimney breast
- Water stains on ceilings near the chimney
- Pieces of mortar or brick falling
Maintenance or bigger work?
Maintenance can be enough when
- Mortar is worn but the bricks are sound
- Flashing needs repairing or renewing
- The stack is still secure
- Damp is coming in at the joints
Bigger work may be needed when
- Brickwork is loose or cracked
- Damage keeps returning
- The stack no longer looks secure
- We find it needs more than re-pointing
