The Roofer is a family roofing business in Christchurch, running since 2000. Its owner, Adrian Simmons, has been roofing since 1987 and is London City and Guilds qualified. The firm specialises in leak detection, roof repair, restoration and maintenance, and the website says it works on almost every type of New Zealand roof. These include concrete, clay and metal tiles, natural slate, cedar shingles, long-run and corrugated iron, colorsteel, flat roofs and butynol. It also repairs valleys, flashings, skylights, chimneys and dormers, and does roof coatings in a range of colours and moss and lichen treatment.
Customers often mention leak repairs, roof tile work, quick repairs and chimney removal. They say the owner gave honest advice and a clear quote with options, kept them informed, and cleared away all the rubbish after a re-roof. One customer praises the communication and workmanship, another says a cedar shingle re-roof was done within the agreed time, and a third says the owner is an expert on slate roofs.
