David came out to fix a persistent leak in our roof. Seems to have worked! David and his team are the one roofing firm who we can rely on to actually come out and do the job; they're totally reliable, fairly priced and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Thoroughly recommend.

Review Comments
A great team, they came out to look at a leaking 40 year old flat roof and fixed it while they were here. They found the leak was mainly due to other reasons and they re sealed part of the roof edges.
Very relieved that we didn’t need a new roof!
Thoroughly recommend this company,

Joinery work installing cupboard shelves and bathroom cabinets and hooks and locks on various doors.

They were a very efficient and friendly firm to deal with and provided a prompt quotation for the work that was completed in a very satisfactory and professional manner.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone requiring joinery work.

Review Comments
We had a blocked down-pipe on a double-height building. The blockage caused cascades of water on to the walls during heavy rainfall.
Mr Kay attended despite having a heavy workload and worked hard to clear the blockage but was unable to do so on the first visit. He returned within days and spent a considerable time on the job which eventually required the removal and replacement of some cast-iron piping.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm of W H Kay.

Complete bathroom renovation.
We find Alan and David very friendly, extremely professional, meticulous in their attention to detail and keep you well informed throughout the project.
They have also done roofing and joinery work for us in the past - all to the same high standard.

Review Comments
Some pantiles had broken or slipped, caused by a recent storm, and one had flown off a more inaccessible part of the roof which I hadn't expected them to fix, and for which they didn't quote.

However, they came exactly when they said they would, did the work quickly, including the extra piece of work, left no mess, and were pleasant and easy to deal with, so we've asked them to investigate another problem.

Really - excellent! And thank-you!

Annual roof check and replacement of slipped and fallen slates. The guys are great at prioritising what really needs done and what can safely wait. Communication about timescales is always very good as is the quality of work carried out.

David and his team were recommended to me and I am very happy with the service. David came round immediately when I phoned and fixed two bad leaks. He then came back and did some remedial work so that I shouldn't have any more problems in the future. I was very impressed with his prompt help and the price was very reasonable.

I would recommend the company to anyone.

Thanks!

This job was for a small roof leak repair but I have also used WHKay in the past for more major roof work. Always a great job done with courtesy and good communication. Highly recommended!

David came during lockdown to sort a leaking roof and repair gutters that were contributing to the leak. Other traders came and looked. One of them gave me a quote while another never got back in touch. David was the only one who offered to fix the problem there and then and told me up front how much it would cost. I would highly recommend him.
