I have had a leak in the same place for years and have spent out a lot to get it fixed but had no success. I wish I had called ELC first as they where able to fix it. After 2 months and a lot of rain we have not had a problem, really happy with them and highly recommend. Thank you.

Saffron Walden Roofing were excellent in dealing with my request. I had a fair few loose tiles on my roof which were causing leaks and they dealt with my issue promptly. Very friendly team arrived - thank you.
