A very responsible company due to several delays with the weather (rain & frost). Roof verge & ridge tiles needed re-pointing. Clean, efficient & good work done. Will definitely use again & recommend. Also organised work to be done on two of my neighbours ridge tiles, both parties very happy with the work & price considering another company quoted four times as much for the same work.

We had roofline work done. Facias, soffits, guttering and dry verge caps. Really delighted with the quality of the work. Finished job looks great and the men were polite, professional and tidy. We would definitely use again. Thank you.

Would highly recommend Bill for the work that he has done for me. Responded very quickly when my extension flat roof was leaking. Prompt quote and when we went ahead with the work he managed to get the work done before Xmas which was very much appreciated.
All in all good communication and time and quality of work

Thanks Bill.

Review Comments
Contacted Bill to look at our roof as it was leaking after bad weather. He came out to look at the job quickly and advised broken tiles needed replaced, both Watergates cleared and any cracks repaired, gutters needed cleared and missing pointing on the ridge needed replaced. He was one of the cheaper quotes and seemed friendly and knowledgeable so went with him.

He was busy so told us there may be a wait until he got around to the job which was fine. He then came around and replaced broken roof tiles and we received the invoice. I went to look at the work and noticed none of the missing ridge pointing had been replaced and still seemed to me to be debris in the watergates so phoned and left a voicemail and also emailed asking for a call to discuss the work, never received any communication, but he did come around just over a week later to do the ridge, but still never any contact from him.

Good value for money, but customer service could be improved.

We recently had some roofing work carried out by Bill at W A Ritchie and were extremely impressed by the service provided. He is a very pleasant and professional individual, he was responsive whether contacted via phone or email and completed the work to a high standard within the timeframe and cost agreed.

Very pleased to have found a professional and reliable roofing contractor and we will be using W A Ritchie for all further work without hesitation.

Bill is highly professional and his work was carried out to an excellent standard. He just gets on with the job and leaves everything neat and tidy when he is finished. Compared with the big roofing companies he is great value for money.

Review Comments
I can’t reccommend Mr Ritchie enough. He was incredibly helpful at every stage from the planning to the completion of our office room in the garage (including a last minute change). He completed the work early - which is unheard of, the quality of the work was ace, absolutely on budget and he was a trusted, pleasant person to do business with. He even checked up everything was okay later.He didn’t over promise and definitely over- delivered. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
I can’t include a picture of the room, but the work was excellent, a conversion of the garage, and I will happily provide pictures privately if someone wants to see the work.

Bill provided an excellent service to us during the renovation of our house. He also proved an invaluable source of advice and help.

He is reliable, honest and is a lovely pleasant person to work with. Nothing is too much trouble.

We will continue to use Bill for ever...and have also recommended him to many friends

If only all tradesmen were like Bill.

Would definitely use him again and recommend this company
