30 years in the trade for Scunthorpe roofing firm

R Downie Roofing provides services from maintenance to complete reroofing, and is offering 10 per cent off.

Managing director Robert Downie said: "People should come to us because we have had almost 30 years in business, which is a long time and speaks for itself.

"We are council grant-approved and insurance-approved and it is a big thing to get all that.

"We specialise in complete reroofs, flat roofs, fascias and all aspects of roofing."

Mr Downie said the family element of the business was important. "I employ my daughter as my secretary and my nephew, Lewis Downie," he said.

The firm marks its 30th anniversary in February and Mr Downie said it had built up a good reputation. He said: "Ninety per cent of my work is recommendations and it is word of mouth from people."
