Salmon Solutions quote was the most comprehensive and professional. Lines of communication were good. The final quality of the install was good. We had a small blip with an area of the installation, however this was dealt with promptly and satisfactorily. I would use this company again and would recommend them. Mark from their install teams workmanship was excellent!

Salmon installed standing seam cladding to three dormers and one rear extension for us, as well as the new single ply flat roof coverings. They did a very nice job with great workmanship and attention to detail. We would use them again. Jonathan Morris Construction Ltd.

True craftsmanship: Salmon Solutions and their team of metal workers spent a month on site rolling, folding, crimping and shaping our Prefa aluminium standing seam metal roof. They also subcontracted the ply and insulation, warm deck, build up so we had a complete rafter up solution, negating any issues that could arise in regards to who was responsible for what. The product is premium as is the workmanship, Charlie the director knows this, so don't expect a bargain when it comes to the price. But the level of service and quality of the finish is as good as it gets. We have been really happy with the process from start to finish, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Salmon Solutions to anyone considering a metal roof.
