Malcolm Bembridge - Roofing and Property Maintenance Specialist

Tina Hart Preto • April 23, 2025

As a community focused business, we love working with exceptional local talent and supporting other family businesses, like ourselves.



A solid, well-maintained roof is the unsung hero of any property- shielding everything beneath it from the worst of the British weather. At HARNCE, we know just how critical good roofing is to the overall health and efficiency of a home, which is why having a trusted roofer in our corner is so important. Whether it’s repairing storm damage, maintaining loft insulation, or safely installing a vertical flue, roofing often goes hand in hand with the heating and plumbing work we do.

That’s where Malcolm Bembridge of MB Roofing comes in. Based in the Midlands, Mal has been providing high-quality roofing services since 2003, covering everything from tiled and flat roofs to chimney rebuilds, guttering, and external maintenance. In a trade where trust can sometimes be hard to come by, Malcolm stands out for all the right reasons.

Roofing has its fair share of bad press - many homeowners worry about being overcharged or let down. But Mal breaks the mold. He’s skilled, dependable, and genuinely cares about getting the job done properly. It’s why we never hesitate to recommend him, and why we are featuring him in this month's Tapping into Talent series, to sit alongside other tradespeople we’re proud to work with time and again.

Key service:  MB Roofing specialises in high-quality roof replacements, repairs, and exterior property maintenance to keep homes protected and energy efficient.


Can you tell us a bit about your business and how it started?

MB Roofing was established in 2003 with a clear mission: to provide high-quality roofing services with a personal, customer-first approach. After gaining experience working for another roofing company, I quickly realised there was a better way to do things - one that prioritised professionalism, honesty, and clear communication. I wanted to build a roofing business that homeowners and property managers could rely on, and that’s exactly what MB Roofing has become.


With over two decades of hands-on experience, MB Roofing has earned a solid reputation across the Midlands for reliable, affordable roofing solutions. Whether it’s a complete tiled or flat roof replacement, chimney rebuild, or essential roof maintenance, we approach every job with care and precision. Our team is fully trained and committed to delivering long-lasting results with excellent customer service.


We also offer a range of exterior property improvement services, including guttering and fascia installation, window replacements, loft boarding, lead work, and roof reports. Every project starts with a no-obligation, written quote and, where needed, we include drone surveys and CAD roof drawings to ensure accurate measurements and reduce material waste.


At MB Roofing, we believe in doing the job right the first time - and doing it with a smile. We’re proud to be a local, independent roofing company that homeowners trust to keep their properties safe, dry, and energy efficient all year round.


What do you appreciate most about working with Harnce, and how have we collaborated in the past?

What I appreciate most about working with Harnce is their shared commitment to quality, honesty, and great customer service. As a family-run, local business, their values align closely with mine—we both pride ourselves on being approachable, reliable, and genuinely focused on looking after our clients.


We’ve already worked together on several projects where our services go hand in hand. Whether it’s relocating boilers or adjusting pipework during roofing jobs, the collaboration has been smooth and efficient. It’s always a bonus working alongside a team that’s as professional and customer-focused as Harnce, and I’m looking forward to many more successful jobs together.


What products or services do you offer that could benefit our clients?

At MB Roofing, we offer a wide range of exterior home improvement and maintenance services that pair perfectly with the work Harnce does. Whether you're planning a renovation or just keeping your property in top shape, we can help with:

We take pride in offering professional, honest advice and delivering work to a high standard. Whether it's part of a bigger plumbing project or a standalone job, we’re here to help make homes warmer, safer, and more energy-efficient.


Do you have any promotions or services that would be particularly useful for our clients right now?

Right now, MB Roofing is pleased to offer free, no-obligation written quotations to all potential clients - ideal if you’re planning ahead or budgeting for future improvements.


If you're in the process of buying a new property, we’re also happy to do a drive-by roof check to give you an honest opinion before you commit - at no cost.


Plus, all of our new roof and re-roof projects include CAD drawings and a drone survey. This ensures precise measurements, helping reduce waste and save on materials and costs. We also include new guttering as standard with all new roof installations.


It’s all part of our commitment to providing a reliable, professional service while helping you get the best value for your home improvements.

With energy prices on the rise, homeowners and landlords are looking for practical ways to reduce heating costs while keeping homes warm and comfortable. At Harnce Heating and Plumbing, we believe small changes can make a big difference. Here are some expert-backed strategies to lower your heating bills without sacrificing warmth. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Heating Systems If your boiler is over 10 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Modern boilers are designed to be much more energy-efficient, helping to cut down on unnecessary energy use. If you’re unsure about the efficiency of your current system, our team can provide a professional assessment. Optimise Your Heating Controls Investing in smart thermostats and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) can significantly reduce energy waste. The new Honeywell Home Thera-6 TRV, for instance, is designed to help those with vision impairments easily control their heating while maintaining efficiency. Smart controls allow you to set heating schedules, ensuring you’re only using energy when you need it. Consider a Recirculation System Did you know that recirculation systems can save an average household 7,787 litres of water per year? They can also reduce gas bills by up to 38% by ensuring that hot water is available instantly, preventing unnecessary water and heat loss. Improve Insulation and Draught-Proofing A well-insulated home retains heat better, reducing the need for constant heating. Consider upgrading loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and sealing draughts around windows and doors. Even simple solutions like heavy curtains and draught excluders can make a noticeable impact. Adopt Smart Heating Solutions Heat pumps and multi-temperature systems are becoming increasingly popular as energy-efficient alternatives. Solutions like Danfoss Ally and Icon2 integrate seamlessly with heat pumps and allow for zoned heating, meaning you only heat the rooms that are in use. Regular Boiler Servicing & Maintenance A well-maintained boiler operates more efficiently, reducing energy waste. Harnce Heating and Plumbing offers annual servicing through our Members Club , ensuring your system is running at peak performance while preventing unexpected breakdowns. Get Expert Advice Ashley, our Utility Guy, is always on hand with expert advice on how to cut your energy bills further. Check out our Tapping into Talent Blog for more details.
