Severnside Roofing & Building Specialists review

Ranked 1 of 3 in Chimney repair specialists in Telford

Best overall chimney repair specialist in Telford: widest cover for structural stack, lead and brickwork repairs

Active

Trading as Severnside Roofing Specialists Limited · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury

Severnside Roofing & Building Specialists in short

Severnside Roofing and Building Specialists is a Telford roofing firm based at Stafford Park, trading as an active limited company since the start of 2017. What sets its chimney offer apart is a dedicated emergency repairs page covering lead work, collapsed chimneys, leak detection, brick replacement, repointing, stack removal and capping, backed by free quotes and offices in Telford and Shrewsbury. In our opinion it is the round's most complete structural chimney practice, which is why it leads the table by a clear distance.

The record shows a firm set up for this work: a defined repair list with FAQs and a quote form, full public liability and employers liability insurance stated, and Confederation of Roofing Contractors membership on the issuing register. Customer reviews are strong, with a 5-out-of-5 Google record that stands as the best customer signal in this round. Severnside pairs that breadth with a long local history on the company record.

What counts against it, in our judgement, is price opacity: no call-out fee, rates or VAT position are published, only free quotes and competitive prices. Guild of Master Craftsmen certification and NFRC approval are stated on the site without membership numbers to check. Severnside Roofing and Building Specialists suits you if you need structural chimney work from a long-standing local firm and you are comfortable settling the price by quote.

Our verdict

Our verdict: Severnside suits you if you need structural chimney work, from repointing to a full stack removal, from a long-standing Telford roofing firm [2] [4]. What stands out is the defined repair list with stated insurance cover [2]. What counts against it is the absence of published rates and checkable membership numbers [1] [2].

Questions about Severnside Roofing & Building Specialists

Is Severnside Roofing & Building Specialists any good?

On the evidence, yes for structural chimney work: it tops our Telford chimney repairs table with the widest defined repair list, stated insurance and a strong review record. The gaps are price opacity and checkable membership numbers. Read the full review and the ranking card, then get an itemised quote on your exact scope and check any membership number yourself.

Is Severnside registered with a trade scheme?

Confederation of Roofing Contractors membership is on the issuing register [3]. NFRC approval and Guild of Master Craftsmen certification are stated on the firm's own website without membership numbers, so they cannot be checked on a register [1] [2]. Ask the firm for the numbers and check them against the registers yourself first.

What does Severnside charge for chimney repairs?

The site states free quotes and competitive prices but publishes no call-out fee, rates or VAT position [1] [2]. Expect to settle the price by quote rather than from a price list. Ask for the quote itemised by labour, materials, access and VAT before work starts, and query anything vague before agreeing a date.

Where does Severnside work?

The site names Telford and Shrewsbury offices with two phone contact routes, and the firm is based at Stafford Park in Telford [2]. Confirm your postcode and how travel and scaffolding are charged when you enquire through the quote form, and mention any awkward access at your street on the call.

How do I get a quote from Severnside?

Use the quote form on the company website or either of the two phone contact routes [1] [2]. Send photos of the stack, the flashing and any damp inside so the first visit counts. Get the written scope back before agreeing a start date, and keep a copy with the photos you sent.

What do Severnside's reviews say?

The Google record reads 5 out of 5, seen in September, which is the strongest headline score in this round [5]. The base behind it is small, so read it as a good sign rather than a guarantee. Our review weighs that record alongside the repair list, credentials and transparency.

How does Severnside compare, and how is it ranked?

It ranks first of the three Telford firms on the same published scorecard, ahead of Alpine for stove-linked work and K and N for sweeping. Scoring rewards what customers say first and proof of competence next. Read the strengths and limitations on its card for the full picture before comparing quotes.
