Richard Waterfield Roofing & Lead Specialist Ltd

My house is 70+ years old and the roof has given me problems off and on during the 35 years I have lived here. I had a recurring leak at the front of the property associated with a disused chimney and two 'valleys' which caused minor but annoying ingress of water over my bedroom. Having heard of good things about Richard I decided to offer him the job.

Richard is a perfectionist. Everything he did was planned in detail, we were kept fully informed throughout. The work appears excellent, well above expectations. Site was left spotless. Time scales were met at each stage. Estimate was spot on. I can think of nothing that was not first class.

Importantly Richard is a lovely man and a pleasure to work with.

various Timber work. The lead firm was recommended by our roofer Peter. We had spent a few days on holiday looking up at donner windows and decided that lead gave the best long term finish. The 3 generation of the same family came and leaded are dormers and completed are vallies. People stop us asking who did the windows and the lead work. We were happy to have a sign up on our harding the window ques has.

Job well done.
Thank you.

Investigate suspected leak, which proved to be condensation running down cold water pipe, but found an unfixed tile which had slipped, and fixed that. Also pointed out rotted roofing felt which has now been fixed by another tradesman. Richard came when arranged, did the work quickly and efficiently, was friendly and helpful. Discovered a loose tile and fixed that on the spot. Recommended another trader to replace rotted felt.
We were very pleased with the service and wouldn''t hesitate to recommend Richard.

Leadwork round conservatory roof various tiling. Helpful in discussing the problem and how to resolve it. Work carried out in a professional way, skilled, cooperative and reliable. Clean and tidy job. Very pleased with the result.

Richard came to investigate a small leak of rainwater round an air-vent in our roof. In the event, this wasn''t a major piece of work. But it did involve going onto the roof to apply some sealant round the air-vent (under the tiles). Clearly not something for the amateur DIY enthusiast to attempt.
Richard was prompt, polite and professional. He took time to investigate the problem - including going onto the roof to check the tiles and into the attic to check the under-felt.

He gave me a clear explanation of the possible problem and the potential costs before doing any work.

It rained last night and there was no sign of a leak - job done - thank you Richard. I would definitely use him again for any roofing work.
