Read lessI stripped this old slate roof on a farm building and fitted new treated laths the farmer didn’t want any felt for ventilation purposes and to match into existing. Then I used the original Welsh slates to slate the roof With copper nails and bedded the original ridge tiles on new sharp sand and cement mix with the correct additives for a longer life span.

Read lessThe old felt roof was leaking so I stripped it off and fitted new roof decking and fitted a new G.R.P Fibreglass roof system that lasts over 50 years and comes with a 20 year manufacturer guarantee. And as I’ve been on the course I’m a certified installer as there are a lot of people fitting these kind of roofs who haven’t been on the correct course and they fit them wrong I know this because I have repaired/replaced a lot of these roofs over the years due to them not been fitted correctly. But when done right you won’t get a better roof.
Read lessI cut out and repointed this traditional stone house as it had been pointed with sand and cement in the past, and this causes a lot of water retention in the stone which leads to the stone crumbling and been damaged by frost in time. As the stone can not dry out because the sand and cement mixture seals the water in. So it has to be removed and repointed with the correct lime mortar mixture allowing the stone to dry out after heavy rain and keeps it in good condition.
Read lessA roof is a key component to any building but when it requires replacing due to component failure you need peace of mind that the contractor undertaking the work is trustworthy and can carry out that work to a high quality standard. Barry and his team, to their word, carried out the work efficiently and to a very high standard. No mess was left and all scaffolding and skips were removed from the property really quickly following completion of the works. The work was inspected and signed off by building regulations without issue. Neighbours have commented on how great it looks and overall I would absolutely recommend Barry and his team to anyone looking for a full roof replacement.
Barry and his team were excellent. Barry provided knowledgeable advice and sound professional opinion on the best way forward to resolve our issues. The team arrived on time, kept to schedule, gave regular updates and tidied up after themselves. Barry also identified supporting work we could choose to have done as the job progressed e.g. adding insulation. This was so helpful as getting this work done retrospectively would have been problematic. I highly recommend Barry and his team and will be using them for any further work we need doing.
We cannot recommend Barry Holmes and his team too highly. We have no hesitation in suggesting others seeking roof repairs access his roofing experience, skills, understanding and excellent customer communication. Add to this the superb work ethic of Ethan and Gareth on the roof, SO hard working, with attention to every detail, thorough practice, determinedly working on to complete our roof repairs giving us enormous peace of mind. Not leaving until full evidence of work undertaken was shared plus a full clean up. Much more than five stars! After previous poor experiences this has been a totally positive encounter with a team that take pride in completing their work to the highest standards. So refreshing!
I was nervous finding someone to have a look at the roof. Barry was the only one to message me, swiftly came to review the job and all completed in 4 days. Wonderful work, thank you
I Would Highly Recommend Barry and his team for the first Class work they carried out on my flat roof Extension kitchen roof which was in serious need of renewal. Very Professional and Top class work carried out Great bunch of lads wouldn't want to go anywhere else for any future work in need of doing. 100% Recommend. Kind Regards JB.
Barry and his team were excellent in their work ethic, politeness, and attention to the work being completed. They also cleaned up extremely well which I have had issues with tradespeople before. The work completed was as described, including why work had to be done a particular correct way. There were no hidden extras. It was not easy to manage my job as it was weather dependent, Barry also ensured this was done at the correct time.
We have had many tradesmen over the last 50 years. I can definitely say that the experience from Barry Holmes and his team was exceptional in every respect. From the first contact to the end of the work every aspect was outstanding. The skill of Barry and his team was exemplary and completed with hard work and reassuring certainty. I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent tradesman to other prospective customers.
We contacted Barry Holmes after several roofers had failed to solve our problem with leaks in our roof. Barry diagnosed the problems and did all the necessary work. He and his team are friendly and professional, completing the work without delay and solving the problems. Highly recommended.
Superb tradesman. Work completed to an excellent standard and swiftly. No faults or issues. Communication was brilliant. Went above and beyond just to make sure the job was done well. Patient, polite and professional. I would recommend this firm and will use them again.
After a very quick response to my enquiry phone call the problems were soon identified and an agreed price soon fixed for the job. Barry tried to fast track repairs to my leaking roof but, the stormy weather intervened. Scaffolding was erected in a timely manner and without incident. The work was completed in three days and I was kept informed of each day’s planned work and also got an end of day progress report. The personal workmanship and materials were high quality and the workmen demonstrated a healthy respect for our property and possessions. The workmen were both friendly and sympathetic to our situation. They worked quietly and efficiently whilst keeping the work site both tidy and clean. Extra time was spent restoring the cosmetics of the roof to make it look as it did before the work was started. All rubbish was removed as the work progressed and a final site tidy ensured everything looked back to normal.
Barry has given me excellent service - highly recommended - he came earlier to thoroughly look at the issue and clearly lay out what was needed with a set cost. When they arrived today they were efficient, friendly and professional, going above and beyond to make sure everything was okay and I was informed on what they had done. Pictures were provided and the soil pipe is completed sorted now looks great.
Barry Holmes roofing services excellent from quote to completion Barry and his team recently put a new pitched roof on my house and also fixed the flat roof extension. The team were very professional and Barry kept me fully informed as the job progressed, while completing the roof they fitted insulation. The team provided an excellent service and disposed of all rubbish. Excellent team, excellent work, would not hesitate to use them again. They never stopped and were a pleasure to work with. The whole job was completed in a week. Very pleased with the job. Excellent company
Mr Holmes provided a reasonable and fair estimate for building a pitched roof over a flat-roofed extension, incorporating insulation. He and his workers completed the job to a high standard within 5 days, leaving the site clean and tidy. They were courteous and helpful throughout. I would highly recommend his company.
