“Scott and the team recently carried out a number of jobs at our holiday cottage on Colonsay. They oversaw us putting all new windows and doors at the house as well as a new slate roof, bringing it unto date and securing its longevity using the best products possible. We changed it from an aluminium roof to a slate roof and are delighted with the results. Scott has been so helpful throughout the process and managing the logistics of the work on a remote island, carrying out most of the work in Winter whilst the house was unlet. I was grateful to have someone with experience of doing this kind of work on a small and remote island and was very able to manage all of the elements that went into getting materials across, dealing with CalMac as well as staying over whilst the job was completed. Not an easy task but one that the team are very experienced and capable of doing. The work has been done to the highest of standards and Scott has been brilliant at communicating throughout the work and keeping me updated. We are so pleased with the results and grateful for Scott and the team's help. Highly recommend.”

“I can whole heartedly recommend McCamley & Laird.

WE had a very good experience working with them. As an island customer in the middle of winter, flexibility had to be built into the timing for their arrival. At all times we were kept informed. We were met each day by an enthusiastic and optimistic Peter Laird, who dealt efficiently with any issues that arose. Peter not only kept us informed, but also our immediate neighbours who were directly affected by the work. The work was completed in 3 weeks, stripping and re-slating, new fascia and gutters to a semi-detached, 4 dormer windowed roof. Photographs of the work were regularly sent from the roof top to show progress. Both Scott McCamley and Peter Laird were great to work with.”

Renewal of rendering, Ross of Mull.

Scott and Peter have just finished renewing the rendering on my cottage in the Ross of Mull. This was the second phase of the project - earlier in the year they had re-roofed the same building. As before, I found them business-like, positive in their attitude, skilled, and very, very hard-working. They kept to the quote and the timetable, tidied up as they went along, answered questions quickly and clearly, and paid great attention to detail. Donald, who works for them, was also industrious and obliging. We enjoyed having them about and are absolutely delighted with the end result. I can happily recommend them!

“ Ballochmore Cottage, Gribun, Isle of Mull roof covering replacement with a metal roof.

I am very pleased with the extensive roof work on my cottage completed by M & L. The work was done to a high standard, to cost and in a timely manner. The M&L team were pleasant and professional. The worksite was restored with all old materials / equipment promptly removed on work completion. I would unreservedly recommend M&L for any roof work.”

“The quote was clear and itemised everything we were getting for our money. The work (renewing roof tiles and insulation) was carried out in a business like manner and all materials were removed following the work. They came back a little while later, after the roof had settled and checked for any tiles that had slipped. Very happy with the work that was carried out.”

“Great job on Jura

This is our first time using McCamley & Laird and they have been great from start to finish. Being a hotel in a rural, costal location you want to make sure that you get the job done properly and it has. They have been great a talking through the job, checking with us when the old roof throws up some new surprises, making sure we are happy with the work and have been a good team of roofers to have working for us. Already planning the work for next year.”

“Another great job for the Argyll We have just used Scott and his team for the third time. We find them considerate, very good communicators, and do what they promise when they promise. If only the same could be said for all contractors! They work in all weathers and are willing to be flexible. Very happy.”

“Re-roofing of bungalow McCamley & Laird were the contractors who recently reroofed our bungalow, according to the appropriate Redland specification. The work involved removing all the old tiles and the solar panels, removing the original battens, replacing small areas of water damaged sarking and replacing some lead in two valleys. The roof was then prepared for the new tiles with the appropriate water resist membrane and new battens according to the specification. The new tiles were then fitted and the solar panels returned. The work was carried out carefully with few interruptions. Scott and Peter were always cheerful and positive. We are very pleased with the work. McCamley & Laird have responded quickly to all minor issues after the account had been paid in full.”
