Carol Sullivan-Smith10 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very reliable, well run company. Simon explained everything step by step, the job was completed quickly and a nice clean job Roy Kent20 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simon arrived when he said he would he was courteous and very pleasant he talked me through every step of the job in hand and was apologetic when the unexpected happened explaining things step by step. The lads worked relentlessly despite the temperature of 28 degrees and only stopped for water intake. They were constantly tidying up and were courteous and a pleasure to have them work on our home. I would recommend Unifix to anyone and will use them again. Louise Evans20 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Unifix roofing to replace our roof in July last year. This week we had a tile crack and slide down the roof. I rang Unifix on Monday of this week and they responded straight away, they said they would be with me by the end of the week and were good to their word. I feel the sign of a good company is one that does a good job initially but still cares for their customers after the job is done and the invoice paid. And Unifix roofing proved to me today they are a great company. And I would definitely recommend them. Nyssa Hughes30 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
