The thatched roof, a traditional roofing method made from straw or reed, has been a part of Kildare’s architectural landscape for centuries. Today, roofs are made of sturdier stuff, which means they also require professionals to maintain them.

I was very pleased with all 3 areas that Roberts’s team worked on

I was very pleased with all 3 areas that Roberts’s team worked on. We had severe rain since and have had no reoccurrence of leaking.

Very happy with the standard of work.” – Brian O’Malley, Google Reviews

They went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction

If you’re looking for a roofing company that delivers on its promises, MJ Roofing Contractors is the one to trust. They went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction.” – Ivy Sanders, Google Reviews
They proceeded to do exactly as they described
“M&J were total professionals. They showed up when they said they would, they explained the work needing to be done and showed pictures of the damaged roof. This was important as the roof is very inaccessible without ladders or scaffolding. They proceeded to do exactly as they described and were very considerate of the house both in terms of noise and taking care not to mark or damage any internal paintwork. (Access was eventually achieved through a Velux window in the bathroom.) All in all, I would highly recommend this company, especially in a world of cowboy builders, and would not hesitate to use them again. Five stars!” – David Munro, Google Reviews

The lead time for starting the work was very short
“We had our roof redone by All Guard. We had an old original roof needing a full replacement and from initial contact to finishing the project we were very happy with the service.

Sean and his team were very professional and took extra precautions to make sure there was no damage to the exterior windows and surroundings. I would recommend them for anyone else looking for similar work.” – Conor Dunne, Google Reviews
