Barry Jackson Associates was formed in 1993 and has operated since then as an independent Roofing and Cladding Consultancy. We do not undertake work involving slating, tiling, felt or asphalt roofs. Our specialism is therefore advising in relation to industrial roofing and cladding.

He has acted as an expert in arbitrations, adjudications and in Court, which have included dilapidation claims and failures.
