Paul fitted a lead roof over a bay window on my Edwardian house. From start to finish the service Paul and his team provided was first rate: all my emails/messages were replied to promptly and efficiently; everyone who worked on the job was courteous, likeable and respectful of my property, and I now have a very attractive and functional new roof. Overall, fantastic service and I highly recommend North West Lead.

Thank you for the work undertaken at my home recently. The standard of workmanship is truly impressive. Your craftsman, Jim, arrived each day and got on with his work with professionalism and diligence. He was respectful of our home from start to finish. Leaving the roof spotlessly clean after each shift. I know the job has been done properly so don't expect to see Jim back at my home but I will gladly recommend your company to my neighbours and friends. Thanks once again.

After many failed attempts to get someone who knew what they were doing with lead work and parapet walls I found North West Lead. My confidence was lifted when they came to quote and spent around 30 minutes inspecting the job and explaining what they could do thoroughly. The work was completed to a high standard and with politeness and professionalism. Thoroughly recommended.

I wanted to have our lead roof repaired and replaced to as close as original standards and quality on my Edwardian house. The director Paul gave an excellent and in depth estimate and the work was carried out to a very high standard and the two roofers who did the job worked exceptionally hard and did an excellent job. I was very pleased with the quality and professionalism of the work carried out and their excellent communications. Not the cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for. I did a lot of research before choosing North West Lead and I'd say that if you want a high quality job,
