A family tradition since 1956
Four generations.
One family tradition.
Stevens Roofing has been a local, South Midlands-based company for four generations. The company was originally founded in 1956 by William C. Stevens, who was later joined by his son Dennis Stevens.
Dennis became well known in the local area for efficient, high-quality roofing. In the 1980s the company was joined by both sons, who maintained the family tradition. The business has since been joined by a further two generations, continuing that tradition. Dennis is still actively involved, passing on vital skills and craftsmanship.
The name Stevens is synonymous with high standards of craftsmanship and professionalism. These qualities are maintained on every project, large or small. Work is backed by materials and workmanship guarantees, and an insurance-backed guarantee is also available.
Customer satisfaction is paramount. The company is recognised for its personal and professional service, with much of its work carried out on recommendation.
