Roofing Contracting is a very strenuous and demanding occupation which requires a high level of expertise and knowledge. It is well suited to people who want to combine a manual occupation with craftsmanship, but we all know that levels of proficiency and dedication to quality varies tremendously across the industry. There are few things more satisfying than knowing you have done a good job to the best of your ability and a sense of pride in knowing that your work will provide the security of a strong roof that will probably outlast the building. RED BUD roofing.co.uk has been able to enjoy the pride and satisfaction of producing strong durable roofs which have stood the test of time over the last thirty years.
In the past, roofs have been made of natural man made materials such as lead and clay or slate. The advancement of technology has seen a shift towards using synthetic equivalents which are not as durable but are more cost effective. These materials require less skill and knowledge such as using concrete interlocking tiles. The tiling is easy but waterproofing the abutments thats a lot more difficult. This is where roofs leak the most.
The efficiency of modern heating systems have made homes hotter than they have ever been. What happens to all that heat though? In older buildings the inadequate fitting windows and doors allowed for better ventilation but colder rooms so temperatures where more constant in homes. The better insulated homes of today however contain lots of heat that travels up into the roof void. When it meets the outside air temperature which is usually colder, especially in the winter it clashes with the warm air in the house and causes thermal movement which cracks solid concrete flashings eventually or inadequately fitted lead or flat roof flashings.

Owner's real name is Gary Higginson, although I have only ever known him under his pseudonym “Gary Higgs”. I originally hired Gary to do two small jobs to the roof of my flat and on completing them successfully, Gary ‘notified me’ of another problem. He then used a gently-gently approach to gain my trust and once he had this, he advised me that if this job wasn’t done then there would be serious structural implications for the entire flat and that it was incredibly urgent. Over 7 months, with unsightly scaffolding up around the property, we were held at ransom, bullied and essentially blackmailed in order to part with more money. As soon as I began to realize he was a fraudster, I confronted him about the lack of progress on the roof and where all the money I paid him had supposedly gone. I was initially met with aggression but then pretty soon after that, radio silence at which point he refused to speak with me - DONT WORK WITH THIS GUY!!!

Gary Higginson (owner of Redbud Roofing) is a conman and a rogue trader. Do not give this man a penny of your money. Gary uses the same tactic with many customers, which is to ask for upfront payments and then refuse to do (or finish) the work. This is what he did with us. He took most of our money and left us with a half-finished roof for almost a year. When we complained about the quality of some of his work he became abusive towards us. Eventually we had to sue him for the money. We won a CCJ against him and will soon have the bailiffs on his tail. Look around for other reviews of either him or Redbud roofing. You will find various customers experiencing the same problems. Gary frequently moves house to try to get angry customers off his tail. His current address is: 121 Heeley Bank Road Sheffield South Yorkshire S2 3GL Do not give this man a penny of your money. He is a conman and a fraudster.

We had our roof finished by redbud roofing after a cowboy had created a problem by installing a slate roof at the wrong angle. Redbud removed the roof and repitched the angle. Very pleased A S
