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.

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.

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!

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.

roof repairs and cladding of soffits.
Excellent work and done with the minimum of fuss and disruption. They couldn't have been more helpful when on site and left no mess behind, Easy to deal with, kept in touch if there was going to be any change in plans and I would recommend Alan to my friends.

The team put in 2 flush roof vents to try and sort out a condensation problem in the roof space. Touch wood looks like the problem is sorted.

Roofing repairs. Had to wait for a gap in their diary, but work was completed to a good standard.
