“Highly Recommended!
Communications from ERA office were prompt and clear and their roofing team were professional, courteous and very tidy.
All of the roof repairs were carried out without requiring scaffolding, which saved on money and all of the hassle that comes with scaffold around where you live.
Will definitely be asking them to quote again for any future roof repairs. A contractor you can trust!”— Google

What Our Customers Say
“What a great bunch of guys. They turned up promptly, incredibly professional and super efficient. If anyone needs swift boxes installed on their Georgian townhouses that are too tall for ladders, these are your guys. I would have no hesitation recommending them, and their amazing services. Watching them navigate the sheer drop with ease and skill was joyful.”

Tricky job in cold and wet conditions to remove three very heavy woodcrete swift boxes (not popular with swifts and stupidly heavy for something attached to a high wall) from the under the gutters of my tenement block and replace with four new ultra durable lightweight fibreglass swift colony boxes (3 doubles and a single box) from Impeckable which have been proven to be very attractive to swifts, and will also last more than a lifetime, making them a sensible investment for property owners wanting to help save Edinburgh's swifts from imminent extinction. First class job and thanks to the lads for their hard work and skill and I look forward to working with you again. The swift colony boxes look amazing!”
