W.H.KAY

Full refurbishment of wooden front door.

We have used David for a number of jobs in our property including roof and guttering repairs. We have always found him entirely fair, trustworthy and reliable.
On this occasion he removed and renovated our old and tired large wooden front door, repaired and refurbished it and added new ironmongery and draught proofing. It has made the door far more secure and insulating and it now looks great. I will have no hesitation in using David and W H Kay again in the future.

Small roof repair done the same day that I first emailed, excellent service, very helpful and polite, further repairs to be undertaken later in the year.

Awkwardly situated skylight re-glazing.

This is not the first time I have used this trader, so clearly we have had, and continue to have, a favourable experience using them.

Repair to garden gate. Functions better than ever did.
Repair to guttering

Minor storm repair to tiles and slates. Good communication, careful and unhurried work.

General roof maintenance and replacement of ridge tiles on extension, very helpful, polite and reliable, would highly recommend.

Repair to garage fascia and gutter due to storm damage. Had to wait a little while for work to fitted into schedule but communication good and very happy with work done. Second time used W.H.Kay and would not hesitate to use again in the future if required.

Sealing coping stones to deal with leak.

Rotten wood at bottom of a pair of french doors. David and Alan cut out rotten wood and inserted new . All given a coat of preservative and left ready for painting. Very tidy workers and removed all waste leaving my property clean and tidy.

David did some pointing work for us and, unlike several other roofing companies contacted, turned up and carried out the work. In addition the pointing blends in well with existing pointing unlike some done on our neighbours’ roofs. So we are very pleased with the work and will definitely contact David again for roof repairs.

Sealed roof vent tile and cracks in ridge tile cement.

Prompt friendly service.

Had roof leak in dormer attic just before Christmas shut down. WH Kay were very responsive, provided initial quote based on photos and were able to fix the issue before they finished up for the holidays. The cost was more than initially quoted but they advised and agreed that in advance. We subsequently had further leak which they came and resolved. They're very responsive and professional and the roof leaks appear to be fixed.

Replacing roof tiles, plus checking condition of other roof tiles.
Very happy with work done and service.

David Kay was the 4th trader we had out to look at a long-standing issue with an overflowing gutter under our eaves.

However he was the first to properly investigate, even setting up a hosepipe to fill the gutter to see where the issue was.

He also took the time to clear the gutter of debris to check that wasn’t the cause of the issue. On the first visit he also noticed and addressed a few slipped tiles on the roof.

David then provided an estimate for the work (1/7 the cost of a previous estimate from another company) and returned within a week to complete it.

Key works:
-Removal of cement around the Gutter along the problem area and removal of approximately 10- 14 tiles replacement with new tiles.
-Supply and fit of new cement board to hold new cement in place and away from top edge of gutter to allow us to lift the gutter up slightly to prevent from leaking.
- re cementing between tiles at front to prevent birds from entering roof space.

I found WH Kay to be far superior to any other companies that came out to assess the job. They clearly are very experienced, extremely trustworthy, and actually interested to get to the bottom of issues and fix them. I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone struggling to identify a firm they can rely on for a quality job

Repaired faulty cement work in roof valley, checked over roof and replaced some broken pantiles.
I have used them several times for joinery and roof work and, once again, they were excellent.

Following the winter storm in January, I contacted David Kay and asked him to take a look. Within a few days he had been out to inspect the damage and sent an estimate. Another few days later the work was completed with great attention to detail.
One happy customer :-). Thank you!

Minor roof repair. They are a helpful and obliging business we have used before and will use again.

We were really happy at how quickly Alan came out, the clarity of our discussion with him about our issue, and very happy that everything was done when he said it would be. No chasing up or hassle. We had a roof repair done, and we've had very little rain since then, so we hope it's a good repair!

I had a leaking conservatory roof. David Kay called within a few days and carried out an assessment and temporary repairs.
When they arrived to do the work they worked very efficiently and professionally and completed the job in one day.
I’ve had this firm here before, a number of years ago and I am more than satisfied with the work done and the cost of the work.

Damaged lead pipe fixed and area that had been wet now dry. Very good experience with this trader.
