EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Daniel ButcherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reached out to max after seeing him recommended on a local group, max was able to attend my property within the same week, provide a quote and we planned works to be carried out on a leak we identified in our conservatory and flat felt roof. Works was carried out fast and effective, brought their own tools & materials, clean finish and supportive with follow up. Good all around service and team.Posted on Rupa KatariaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke attended my property to clean two of my roof apexs as I had bird nest residue and fix a product into the apex to hopefully stop birds nesting. I found Luke through a Facebook recommendation. I experienced Luke as responsive in communication, honest in his opinions, friendly and reassuring in the way that he did his work. He was prepared to climb up to the apex on a ladder without scaffolding and seemed confident in doing this safely as experienced. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Luke and will here on turn to him for roofing matters. Thanks Luke.Posted on David FullerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Maxwell Roofing repair our chimney and fix loose bricks and cement on our roof, and they did an amazing job. The workmanship was excellent and everything looks solid and professionally done. What really stood out was that they also took the time to inspect the rest of our roof, pointed out any potential issues, and gave us honest, helpful advice without trying to upsell us. They were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend Maxwell Roofing if you’re looking for quality work and great customer service!Posted on Cathy EglingtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had an emergency leak in my extension roof and Luke from Maxwell’s Property Maintenance was brilliant. He contacted me within 30 minutes of posting the job and came out the next day to assess, quote and repair the issue. The work was quick, efficient and high quality. He not only located and fixed the leak, but also cleaned the gutters and rebalanced a damaged gutter as part of the same job, leaving everything clean and tidy afterwards. I’d highly recommend Maxwell’s Property Maintenance.Posted on Guzman LopezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from beginning to end. Communication with Luke was straight forward and he was not faced by the work required. Very reliable and at a very fair price. Bearing in mind Like had to reach the top of a three storage house, it was reassuring to see the team to just getting on with it and having all done in a very short time. I would absolutely recommend Maxwells

Workmanship standards that last
Good roofing saves money by preventing repeat issues. Our standards are designed for longevity, safety, and compliance with UK conditions.

Roofline, skylights, and details
- Fascia and soffits fixed securely with correct spacing, tidy joints, and adequate ventilation.
- Gutters set to suitable falls with sealed joints and outlets that actually drain to where they should.

Materials and systems we trust
We source from established manufacturers with proven systems and clear guidance. It is not just about the product name. Correct installation is what protects your home.
- Tiles and slates – Clay, concrete, and natural slate selected to suit pitch, exposure, and look of the property. Fixing schedules followed for the wind zone.
- EPDM – Durable, low maintenance single piece membranes where possible, with proper adhesive systems and trims for a neat finish.
- GRP – Cold applied systems with compatible resins and topcoats, laid in the right conditions for a pinhole free finish.
- Torch-on felt – Multi layer systems installed by trained roofers with full bonding and correct lap widths.
- Leadwork – Right code for the job, correct lap, welt, and expansion detailing to avoid cracking or creep.
If you want us to match existing materials or advise on a better lifespan to budget balance, we will show you options and explain the trade offs clearly.
Building Regulations and compliance
Roofing often triggers parts of the Building Regulations. We advise you if approvals are needed and help you through the process. Typical areas include:
- Part A – Structure – We consider structural load if changing tile type or adding weight, and we highlight any timber issues found during strip.
- Part B – Fire safety – Appropriate fire performance for flat roofs near boundaries or openings, including Broof(t4) where required.
- Part C – Resistance to moisture – Weathering details and moisture management to prevent water ingress and damp.
- Part F – Ventilation – Sufficient airflow to prevent condensation, particularly on insulated or converted lofts.
- Part L – Energy efficiency – If more than 25 percent of the roof is refurbished, insulation upgrades are usually required. We will advise and install to the current standard.
We also coordinate with Building Control when needed and provide photo evidence of the build-up to make inspections smooth and straightforward.
Questions about compliance or insulation upgrades? Call 07311091804 and we will walk you through what applies to your project.
Clear quotes and fair pricing
Our quotes are itemised and easy to understand. You will see what is included, how we will access the roof, what protection we will use, how we will handle waste, and the expected timescales. We often present options so you can choose the right balance of lifespan and cost:
- Good – Cost effective materials with solid performance for the expected lifespan.
- Better – Upgraded products or systems for improved durability and finish.
- Best – Premium systems for maximum lifespan and aesthetics.
