aminur rahman

Contacted them as needed a survey done after roof was repaired but roofer wasn't agreeing to the works not being satisfactory. Arranged for a drone survey and report to confirm what was already clear and within a week have received a detailed report which will ensure works can be rectified.

Muzzy Hussain

UK National Roofing and the drone pilot were excellent. Although I would have liked a personal phone call instead of all communication by email. The drone footage, pictures and report of the roof were very detailed. Exactly what I required, and clearly stated work required.

Jayne
