Older chimneys should be regularly inspected to ensure that any maintenance required can be carried out. One of the common issues around chimneys on older properties is crumbling mortar work which if left unchecked will eventually undermine the structural integrity of your chimney. Repointing the mortar work should last for more than 50 years if done properly.
In case you reside in an older property, it is likely that your wooden fascias and metal gutters require repainting every few years to prevent decay or rust. Fortunately, durable UPVC soffits, gutters, and downpipes are resistant to rust and rot, requiring minimal upkeep. Furthermore, UPVC roofline fittings are available in various colors and styles to complement the appearance of your property.

One word 'fantastic' if your looking for that right company then upgrade is full new roof with no problem at all he's team was great clean up when they was done thanks so much P. S the dog is still missing you.
Would not hesitate to recommend Upgrade Home Improvements. Marcus and his team were great from start to finish. Obvious from the first time we met Marcus that he was conscientious and confident that he could solve the many problems we'd had with our roof over the years. The work was done quickly, and I have never seen such hard-working lads - they never stopped.
They were polite and kept us up to date with proceedings. We received a detailed quote, and this was the final price we paid; there were no unexpected additional costs. Very pleased with our new roof and we've had lots of compliments from our neighbours!
Fantastic service from Marcus and his team as they did our roof for our extension. Professional, efficient and reliable. Marcus finds solutions not problems and makes sure the job gets done to a high standard. The team are very polite and efficient. Highly recommended. Service: Roof installation
From first contact Marcus was extremely responsive and professional. It was a big decision to replace the roof but Marcus gave us details of previous customers who we could visit and chat to to help with our decision. Work started on time and took just over two days. I like the way he introduced us personally to the team.at the start of the job. Craig, Liam, Josh and Morgan were brilliant and worked very hard. We are pleased about the quality of workmanship, and are very happy with the new roof and fascias. Great company and I would recommend them with confidence. David
Very hard working and pleasant team. Get the job done, even in extreme temperatures! Very keen to make sure all work is of the highest standard. Highly recommended.
I had this company turn up to install my new roof this week and I have to say they were incredible a 5 start service all round! I couldn't believe the timing in which they installed everything and to how high of a standard it was Marcus delivered on every promise! And I hope to see blu again Service: Roof repair
I have just had a completely new roof and have to say that Marcus and his team delivered what they promised. When I contacted Marcus he arrived 3 hours later and gave me a fixed price for the job before he left. Due to current circumstances the start was delayed by a week, but upon arrival the team completed the whole job in 7 days. The finish is first class and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this company to anyone and would definitely use them again.
An excellent job well done, they did what it said on the tin. Even though they worked through the snow and freezing temperatures. Thank you lads for a job well done.
Upgrade Home Improvements installed an entirely new roof for me when my old Victorian roof was leaking rain water into the bathroom. The 4 guys that carried out the work were an absolute pleasure. A great bunch of guys that all worked extremely hard from beginning to end. All very polite, courteous and professional. The standard of work carried was excellent. They also installed 2 new keylight windows. Highly recommend.
I had a large, new garage roof fitted complete with new fascia's, guttering etc. and the workmen did a good job. They were very professional, helpful and polite. Marcus, the boss, definitely delivered what he promised, I would highly recommend them.
Great job at a very competitive price. Full ridge tile replacement with new improved 'dry ridge' system. Marcus and his team were very efficient & professional, completing the work in just half a day, including all rubbish removal and tidying up afterwards. Thanks again for a job well done!
No messing about, Marcus sent his team around to fix the problem we had on the roof of the house after his initial fault find the day before. Nice polite and respectful team, would definitely use again and recommend this company. Very reasonably priced. Services: Roof inspection, Roof repair for storm & wind damage
In my profession I am acutely aware of the risk that tradesmen do not always do what they promise- I can safely assure anybody looking at using this firm that they do. Marcus is friendly, professional and takes time to discuss matters with you whenever you need him to- he will ring on a Saturday if you have questions about a job. My roof was replaced, it was a full replacement done in 4 days- it looks incredible and the lads who did the work were polite, obviously experienced, and knew their stuff. This firm is trustworthy and reasonably priced- as the saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'.
I tend not to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so for Marcus. Marcus came out of his way to inspect the job and he was very honest about the perceived cause of the leak (ingress of water via the coping stones on a flat roof); he advised me on which product to use to fix the problem (and the supplier) and as others have said, he refused any kind of payment for his time and expert advice. Marcus was very polite, prompt and extremely helpful, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Marcus responded quickly to our perceived problem. He inspected our roof and ridge tiles and our attic condition. He could detect no major problems and suggested that the small leak may have been a one-off event caused by the the extraordinary storm of a few nights ago and also filled a small step flash hole with silicone filler. He would accept no payment. I found his honesty and integrity very satisfying and would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for a specialist roofer. Many thanks Marcus. John Milligan, Weaverham
Very pleased with the work carried out by Marcus and his team. Friendly and helpful and always available at the end of a 'phone.
Marcus and his team were great. I am really pleased with the job they did replacing facia, sofits and guttering. A hard working team who pay attention to detail and were happy to explain any questions I had. The house looks so much better now.
I only got to deal with Marcus through the bidding process. He gave me professional and detailed advice and went the extra mile to get the business. If things fall through with a roofer that I know personally, I will come back to this firm.
I was really pleased with the service provided. The work was done in a professional manner, with adherence to current social distancing requirements, though with good communication throughout the process. Beforehand, the work required was explained. I was me kept appraised throughout the process, and after the work was done, contact made to ensure the area of work was completed to my satisfaction - which it was.
Marcus was polite and always kept me up to date with the progress Of the job any issues his work men came across showed me plenty of pictures witch gave me confidence. His work men were polite and the quality of work that was carried out was to a very high standard and would highly recommend.
I have a contract with this company to renovate my roof. I am awaiting a start date, expected in about four week's time
I am more than happy to recommend Upgrade Home Improvements. Marcus and the lads were great. The team replaced all our old guttering, soffitts and fascia's in a timely manner and to a high standard of work. Great work. Thank you.
Marcus and his team did roof line work and roof retiling at our Home in Crewe. From the quote to finish very professional and polite. The roof looks great. They cleaned up each day and even the rain did not stop them. We also had two chimneys removed by them. We would not hesitate to recommend Upgrade Home Improvements to anyone.
I needed to complete roofline renewals and chimney stack re-pointing works. I rang Marcus and he was around the following evening to look at the works. I agreed a reasonable price with Marcus and the works were booked in. Despite the wet weather Marcus's team managed to complete the works promptly to a very good standard. The team were polite, hard-working and cleaned up the site after themselves. The final cost of the works matched the agreed quote. I'm very happy with the end product as are my neighbours who have booked Marcus to replace their roofline.
A year ago Marcus and his team undertook a full replacement of fascia sofits and gutters on my property. Work was carried out on time to a very high standard. This week I needed a small repair which I thought was a problem with the gutter. I phoned Marcus and he arranged for his team to come round that very same day which I thought was very impressive.
It turned out that the gutter was fine and it was in fact a loose tile which they repaired free of charge. I would highly recommend this company, they are very professional, efficient with very polite staff and most importantly offer an excellent customer after care service Mrs Murray of St Helens
Rated highly for: Quality, Value, Responsiveness, PunctualityExcellent job well done - punctual, tidy, pleasant workforce - recommend
Called at 8am on a Saturday morning with a leaky garage roof, Markus was at my door within 30mins offering professional honest advice, decision was made to replace the roof and within 2 working days the whole roof was replaced to a fantastic standard at a very reasonable price, really great job done by his professional team. Have since decided to have guttering and facia work done by him and his team on the strength of his previous work. Companies like his are few and far between these days good old fashioned service at a fair price. Would recommend to anyone.
Many thanks Marcus for the full re-roof on my parents house your work was carried out to a very high standard and yourself and the lads were a pleasure to have working for them thanks again

A 5 Star service by Marcus and all the gang who worked on my roof back in 2018. The workforce were very prompt in their work each day, I would only know they had been by looking up at my roof after coming home. As they clean up at the end of each working day. I would like to thank you Marcus and the upgrade home improvement team again for the outstanding job you all doing on my roof.
5 Star service, from a very professional, very hard working bunch of gents. When I was quoted for this job by this company I was impressed about everything Marcus told me. Sometimes you think to yourself have I made the right choice. In this case the work took less than two days. The clean up was incredible, you only knew they had been there when you looked up and saw the quality and standard of their workmanship.
So overall the Team from Upgrade Home Improvements, far exceeded my expectations. Thank you to Marcus. A very big thank you to Steven and his colleagues for a fantastic job. Sorry I could only give you 5 Stars, but that's all that was available. My recommendation is ' Use these guys. Very competitive prices, very professional, fantastic quality of workmanship.

This was over 3 moth ago now and still without a leak witch with all the rain we have been having lately I was a bit worried but nothing Thanks you so much Marcus for what you did. Mr Bryan
Im not a man of many words, however i will like to say this few words. I recently bought my first home and i'v had to completly overhaul the property which involved re-roofing my house. I found upgrade home improvement through Google search engine and i got to meet Marcos, from the point of contact i felt he was a good man, he gave me a quote for re-roofing my house and explained the process and what will be done and gave me dates.
If memory serves me well, i had a brand new roof with gutter and facios and my chimney stack done for the amount he quoted and the time scale he mention. All through my dealing with Marcos, i did not encounter any problems with him as a person or with his job. I believe this man is a honest person and he know his stuff, an absolute gentle and professional man. I will recomend him and his firm to anyone who needs a roof done with nothing to worry about.
I found Marcus and his team extremely professional, I have a 10 year guarantee and I had a loose tile, I run Marcus late in the evening and first thing in the morning his team came and resolved the issue. Many thanks for all your hard work.
Twelve months on from fitting new gutter the very heavy rain we have recently had led to the gutter leaking. I contacted Marcus and he responded right away. The workman who came was here for a few hours making it all good again. Many thanks indeed Marcus. Much appreciated
To be fair I haven't met him but he was so professional on the phone and has done a cracking job on my guttering.
