My flat roof extension had started to leak so it was stripped back, insulation added and re-felted. There was some rotten wood underneath so that was all replaced as well.
Experience was very straightforward from timely quote to doing the work. I was kept informed throughout.
Guy and Wayne waited until there was a dry day to open up the roof which avoided any issues with rain coming inside. All mess was tidied up and roof looks great.

Absolutely fab service. Would definitely recommend then.
We had a leak in our roof and on inspection we needed a few things done which they advised also.
Happy with the quote and the guys who came to fix the roof were both very good.

Company worked out the problem very quickly and professionally, reharling chimney etc and replaced slates. Chaps were there when stated, carried out work efficiently and within time, cleared up after themselves. From start to finish were really approachable and all reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend them, in fact have already passed their phone number on.

Jason responded and came swiftly to fix a leak in our garage roof. He happily resealed open joints in the existing covering (rather than suggesting an expensive replacement like others had done). After a few months a small leak reappeared and, again, Jason responded quickly, this time fixing it there and then the day after I emailed him! The icing on the cake was being told there was no charge because all their work is guaranteed for a year! Excellent service, thank you!

Several broken and missing slates were replaced to a high standard.
The work was completed promptly and the men on site were very pleasant and courteous.
Email communication was responded to by Jason almost immediately and he sent photos of all work completed.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company for value, promptness, communication and quality of work.

We are delighted with the service and grateful to Jason at GW & JS Construction Ltd for his quick response in coming out to inspect our roof which had been leaking. Jason turned up at the time stated, he was very professional and polite, inspected the roof, carried out the job in question and we have agreed to use him again to inspect another property.
Very impressed with the company, their efficient manner and would recommend.

Had an issue with a leak for a long time with no resolution from other roofing firms. Got in touch with this firm who actually answer the phone and your emails. They come out when arranged unlike many others who let you down and don't return calls/emails. This firm have been brilliant and sorted the issue. Work has been undertaken in a professional manner keeping you up to do with every step. Everything cleaned up afterwards. Price was fair and they are they're aren't going to rip you off. Don't waste your time ringing around various roofers for quotes. Just get in touch with these guys and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend.

Repair to chimney and new gutters. Quote given very reasonable. My aerial looked very shaky and they recommended an aerialist look at it. I made the call and aerialist arrived and on inspection he could see it was completely broken - been up for more than 40 years - and showed me faulty wiring and mast stand hanging by a thread so new one replaced.
New gutters painted inside and out. Chimney pot very loose and whilst repairing it the guys also noticed 2nd chimney not so good so repaired that also at no extra cost. Guys were very friendly and work went very smoothly.
All in all job well done!

We moved into a property which had a new roof put on approx 15yrs ago. We noticed a very small leak coming in a trap door and we rang the guys who got back to us straight away and came out to us within a couple of days. Quick inspection and the source was found and sorted there and then; at no extra cost. Superb customer service and efficiency. Would highly recommend.

Very easy to deal with, good job done on my roof, took a while for them to get round to the job - mainly due to the poor weather holding things up. Very fair price.

Recent galeforce winds led to an emergency situation for me. Part of a skylight had ended up lying in a flower bed in my back garden, and the rain was getting in to my loft. When I contacted Jason (having had work done by him a few years ago), he came the next day, put a temporary cover over the hole, and advised that all I needed was to order new glass to be set into the original cast-iron skylight frame. As previously, Jason was very courteous and helpful, and this time, he even refused payment for his visit. The result: he has set my mind at rest, and given me the pleasant experience of dealing with a charming and really kind person. He remains top of my list for any future work.

Following high winds and storm damage we checked the Trusted Trader website to garner possible roofers to carry out the repairs. Jason was quick to respond and took the time to run through possible solutions and to discuss time-frames for the work to be carried out. We felt comfortable with the approach he took on behalf of GW & JS Construction Ltd and the costings were broadly in line with other Trusted Trader Roofers we had approached. On this basis we went ahead. Alan and Frank turned up on the agreed date to commence the work. We were comfortable throughout that this felt that the job was being carried out in a professional manner. They kept the area tidy whilst they worked and we could see the amount of damage being repaired as the repairs progressed. As this was happening, Jason continued to keep us updated with any necessary information e.g. skip hire and work progress.
The work is now completed. Skip and scaffolding have been removed. We are delighted with the roofing repairs carried out and especially the manner by the whole team in how this was carried out. We would have no issue recommending. Once again Trusted Trader has come up trunps and appreciate the time individuals take leaving their recommendations and feedback on this website. We certainly benefited.

Excellent service from initial inspection of the work required to completion of the job. Jason and Guy were very thorough in their approach to assessing the job. The work was scheduled promptly and the team who carried out the repairs were fantastic and really lovely guys. Would not hesitate to recommend any of the team involved with our repairs. Found the quote and final invoice to be extremely fair and an excellent standard of work. Excellent experience with this company.
