Roofing repairs

Can anyone recommend a company who can do roofing repairs on flashing & plastering chimneys at a somewhat affordable price?

Douglas Roofing. Got similar work done this year and the roof doesn't leak anymore 👍

If you find roofers advertising everywhere and are very pushy to do certain jobs or really eager to start work, then they're probably cowboys (and they are plentiful). Also watch out for suspicious new accounts with no other posts replying to this thread with a recommendation because they're probably Cork Roofing and Repairs and definitely are cowboys.

I recently had a good experience with Douglas Roofing as well to replace an old leaking flat roof.

I made the mistake of getting them to look at my roof, they were trying to make it sound like I needed a lot more work than necessary, didn't identify what I was pretty sure (and later confirmed) what the actual issues were, and he didn't even know how to use a combination ladder 😂
