Darren, his son Brandon, and their carpentry team did a stellar restoration of our Oast cowl. The cowl was rotten as it had not been well maintained: the rotting wood could be seen from the ground. The repair work took about 3 weeks - perfectly reasonable for the various coats of paint that go on top of new timber. We are very happy with the results and will be using D&A for future maintenance. It was astonishing to see them at work removing and refitting: fearless at such a height.

Darren and team were excellent when restoring our 2 cowls. We also needed a water tight solution when re-installing the cowls. This has been done as explained and to the original quote. The whole process was carried out with upmost professionalism and all works completed within the estimated timeframe. Communication was excellent and all queries answered quickly and sufficiently. Thanks guys, we are 'chuffed' with the results. Service: Roof repair

Dude & Arnette provided a first-class service, from project conception to execution and fitting. The cowl itself is beautiful and will hopefully be in service for many years to come. I have been dealing with tradesmen for most of my life, and it is fair to say that Darren and his team rank among the very best. If you need a new cowl for your Oast House or have an old one refurbished/repaired, turn to Darren. Ulrich Service: Roof repair

The cowl on our oast had got really creaky and had started banging around in the wind. Darren suggested it possibly needed a new bearing, which we thought was needed and the 2 guys he sent were amazing. They explained fully what was needed, carried out the work as expected in a polite and professional manner, exactly as quoted for. Darren called after the work had been completed to check I was completely satisfied - which I was. Would certainly use this company again. Service: Roof damage repair

Darren and the team removed and replaced the Cowl on our Oast house. They were exceptionally efficient when on site, with thorough updates and checks prior to the delivery date ensuring that we were in a good position for the installation of the new cowl. All of the team that we dealt with were positive and polite and I would happily recommend or use their services again.

Darren and his team replaced our cowl this year and also re-roofed and insulated our kiln very recently. Darren and his entire team are incredibly professional, personable, reliable, do an outstanding job at a reasonable price whilst using top quality materials, are always very accommodating and always responsive. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We have always used them for our work on our Oast and will continue to do so. Their roof work was exceptional and very efficient. Look no further.

If you need your cowl refurbished or replaced then Dude and Arnette are the absolute go-to people. We recently had our cowl completely replaced with a beautiful new one as our old cowl had pretty much disintegrated. The craftsmanship is absolutely beautiful. Their knowledge, expertise and professionalism is second to none. Darren and his team go above and beyond, are all extremely personable and a pleasure to deal with (and in addition provide an awesome spectacle to post on social media when dismantling and erecting the cowl again!). Can’t recommend them highly enough.

I suffered significant storm damage to my Oast cowl, the result of which was the cowl leaning horribly and flapping around dangerously, causing damage to the roof and looking like it could topple off with the slightest gust of wind. Darren popped round within hours of speaking to him, agreed that fast action was needed and had the cowl off and the roof weatherproofed within a couple of days. There was then a massive delay (due entirely to errors made by my home insurers) which must have caused issues for Darren, but he was patient and understanding throughout. Once the insurers sorted out their issues, Darren was back in a flash to repair the roof and replace the beautifully restored cowl to a very high standard. He even threw in one of their awesome t-shirts! I recommend Darren and the team very highly. Service: Roof repair for storm & wind damage

Very pleased with the work that Darren and his team at Dude and Arnette carried out recently for me. When I discovered that the middle of my 3 cowls was leaning backwards and had nothing supporting it Darren was on site within a few hours. Scaffolding was erected quickly and the replacement to all 3 Cowls was carried out in just over a week. Would recommend them without hesitation to anyone. Their service is second to none and for anyone who hasn’t had their cowls serviced… call Darren and get it done before it costs you thousands! Thanks again Darren
