SF Roofing Limited
June 2012 in News, UK & Ireland News by PublisherSF Roofing Limited is a family run company and we provide an excellent service to all our customers throughout London and surrounding counties. I, Stuart Fyall, set up SF Roofing Limited in 2009 after being in the roofing business for 12 years. I spent seven years working as an apprentice for a North London roofing company, then went on to become head roofer for another North London loft conversion company where I spent three years. It was after this time I decide to try it out on my own, and it has been a great journey so far from learning the office side to running a company to building great relationships with clients and suppliers. We like to think we have built up a good reputation as a fair, reliable and honest company. Over the last few years we have been involved with some great roofing projects from small repairs to complete roof renewals.
