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.

Have always had Alan Kay work on our roof and other joinery. Always reliable, always good work and always friendly and helpful. Would recommend Alan to anyone.

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.

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.

Repair of old doors and porch woodwork. I was pleased that the joiner agreed to undertake this because it is time consuming and fiddly to get right and looking good. It was also done sooner than I expected. Everything was done tidily and tidy at end.

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.

I have had Alan to come to my property to do two similar jobs. He replaced concrete sills. On both occasions Alan arrived when he said he would and worked hard to complete the jobs. The first sill was in an extremely bad state and when he came to assess the job he removed dangerous parts of the sill and sealed it without payment or any guarantee of getting the job. Found him to be very reliable and would definitely use him in the future.

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.

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!

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
