Todd Newman – Director – Newman Builders Ltd

“I first met John Fletcher in 2004. Newman Builders were on the final stages of a high spec alteration in Miles Lane with a 40° pitch long run roof. The roofing company we were dealing with sent John to install two veluxes and finish some tricky, high risk, chimney flashing that no one else wanted to touch. At the time I remember thinking “this task will be beyond this young fella”. I was quickly impressed when John explained he was going to cut and fold up some flashing on site to create a bullet proof solution. It worked perfectly, there were no call backs, and from then John had my confidence.
Nick Sneddon teamed up with John soon after and together they worked on over a dozen jobs for us in Tauranga prior to Ironclad Roofing.

As a busy building company involved in complex new builds and alterations, it was always reassuring to hear John and Nick were the roofers allocated to our job. It meant I had guys that fully understood their trade and who wanted to be proud what they were undertaking.

They could foresee issues in advance and would work with me in a rational manner to achieve a solution.

As a small business director myself I was really pleased for John and Nick when I heard they launched Ironclad Roofing. It signalled they had served their time as contractors and were now fit and ready to raise the bar for service and reliability. They wanted to bring improvements to the industry and make a difference. It demonstrated these guys have ambition and seek a long term stake in the industry.

Over the last couple of years Ironclad Roofing has successfully quoted on a number of Newman Builders projects. I have been impressed with the efficiency, communication and quotation skills of Nick in the front office. I’m equally impressed with how John is passing on his standard of work to the new onsite crew.

Ironclad Roofing have delivered great results for my business and I have no reservations in offering my full endorsement to prospective clients.”
