Cowperthwaite Roofing Ltd reviews
4 "Do not use this company. We had the roof done in 2010. We were extremely unhappy at the time as the crew that were on the project were unreliable, and on their first job. The “supervisor” to whom we were introduced quit that week, and at no time did any other supervisor visit the site. It took significantly longer than was projected due to inconsistent staff who would often just not turn up.
There were a number of things we complained about at the time – the sheet across the front of the house was not flat, and they did not reconnect the phone box on the roof. We were told there was nothing that could be done about it, as the scaffolding had come down. No corrective action was taken.
But the worse, and ongoing, problem was that the roof leaked. This was reported to Cowperthwaite and they regularly sent “Baz” around with a sealant gun. This happened maybe a half dozen times until 2013. After that, the roof continued to leak, irregularly, but consistently. We gave up.
The recent rains have made this intolerable, and we have no confidence in Cowperthwaites ability (or desire) to fix it, despite offering multiple opportunity. We have had the issue inspected by an alternative provider, and they have stated “the main reason for the leak you are experiencing is from poor installation and design”. In further discussion this relates to the middle valley drainage, where the material under the coloursteel does not go up high enough to prevent water breaching the top of it when it rains. You can put your hand through the gap. How Cowperthwaites did not do it properly amazes me. In this part, they did substandard job.
We basically now have to replace this part of the roof, due to the incompetency of the original install by Cowperthwaites. "
My roof looks good. Sadly the house and garden, lawn were damaged in the process
Cowperthwaite roofing did a superb job for our roof. Not only they delivered premium workmanship but also they proactively planned repairing/maintaining procedure in order to accomodate our various roof problem. Many thanks to Neil and Judy who made this happen.
