N Brayley Roofing & Building has recently completed a full roof replacement on a large bungalow in Bembridge, Isle of Wight — and the delighted homeowners had nothing but praise for the team.



Their review said:
“What can I say — superb. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. The teamwork was wonderful, the scaffolding team were courteous, polite and efficient as were the roofing team. It all worked like clockwork. A big thanks to all involved — a pretty painless process.”

The project involved a complete strip and replace, fitting a breathable underfelt beneath new cement fibre slates with matching ridge tiles. Breathable underfelt is a modern roofing solution that allows moisture to escape while preventing water ingress, helping to keep the roof space dry and extend the life of the structure.
