W.H.KAY

wall repair

WH Kay are a local builder in East Lothian. I contacted them for a quote which was carried out quickly & Alan was very helpful & knowledgeable. WH Kay arrived when they said they would, reliable & trustworthy & a very high standard of Finnish. We are delighted with our new flat roof, finishing off inside & working within time & quote. Thank you Alan & team. We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again or recommend to others.

Alan and his co-workers re-sealed my shower after a small leak caused water to show through on the ceiling below. Previously, I had arranged a local plumber to complete the work but he failed to show on the date arranged - VERY annoying!
Alan was very dependable, staying in touch by phone/text and coming when he said he would. I found him friendly and courteous, and the job was completed to a high standard.
Although this was a very small job, I still felt like a valued customer and this inspired confidence in Alan and his team.
I would be very happy to use W.H Kay again in the future and can confidently recommend the firm.

Repairs made to roof, house walls and drain pipe.
Excellent job done by Alan and his workers. Came when he said he would. Very pleased with results.
Would definitely use again.

Thank you to David and his team for the excellent service and professionalism they provided when repairing a recurring problem we were having with the roof on our extension. David identified the problem, explained what the problem was and how it could be resolved - he even sent photographs of this to me. David and his team carried out the work promptly and we have had no problems since with our leaking roof. Thank you so much - I would definitely recommend W H Kay and will use them again in the future as they also provide joinery services along with roof repairs.

We had an internal boundary wall repaired in our conservatory (damp issues). Afterwards, they arranged the plastering and this work was also completed to a very high standard.

Communication before, during and after the project either via phone, text or email was excellent.

This is the second lot of work we have used W H Kay for and would use them again with no hesitation.

General roof repairs and maintenance (long overdue). Alan and his team/family are a pleasure to do business with. In particular, he communicates his plans, giving plenty of notice of when he anticipates doing the work. He then turns up as promised. He provides clear and frank feedback on the issues/faults identified, and options for their remediation. The team arrive early, work a long day, taking very strict coffee/lunch breaks, and then clear up afterwards. Indeed, they are very tidy workers. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

Prior to the job was given sound advice and referred elsewhere for other required works.

Mr Kay and his team are friendly and very efficient. More than happy with the quality and value of the works done.

Very impressed with every aspect of our communication and contact with David and his brother. We contacted them as they were local traders in Pencaitland; I like to use local suppliers and traders where possible. We had a number of minor roof repairs to be carried out. David provided a quote and I suggested that as the work was minor, I was happy for him to fit it in between other jobs in the next few weeks - which he agreed to. I received a call about 3 weeks later to say that he could come round the following day and would that be ok? The work was carried out cleanly and quickly. We agreed that gutters could also cleared out - which saved me a job. The job came in on quote, and it was convenient that we were able to make our payment via BACs. Very happy with all aspects of the work and the communication. We would happily recommend to anyone else looking for a reliable local trader.

Replacement of 3 upstairs windows and deep windowsills and one set of French doors.
David is extremely friendly and helpful, as are the guys who attended with him to carry out the work. On each visit, from the quote to final installation David arrived exactly when he said he would. The work itself was carried out to an exceptional standard.
Whilst replacement of the upstairs windows was in progress it was noticed that our guttering was leaking, so they also carried out repairs as required.
Prior to leaving, the guys ensured that everything was clean and tidy.
We would definitely use this company again, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend to others.

Realignment and maintenance of double glazed windows and doors.

Four new timber internal doors and two timber windows replaced.
Excellent work, carried out to a very high standard. We found the workers to be friendly, professional, flexible and trustworthy. We would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.

The work included repairs and fitting new panels to a Victorian front door, fitting new door furniture, fitting new vestibule door, fitting new etched glass to 2 fanlights and vestibule door, building cupboards and panelling the vestibule, applying mastic seal to front door & hanging a very large mirror.
Alan Kay was reliable as ever and his work of high quality. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Mr Kay provided excellent advice regarding maintenance of my roof and the repair work carried out was completed to a high standard. Would most certainly recommend.

I had some small emergency work carried out on the chimney of my house. Although only minor work was required it was carried out efficiently and professionally with excellent customer care.
On the strength of this work I have booked them to come back and carry out further repair work required to the roofing.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone.

I had a leaking conservatory roof. David Kay called within a few days and carried out an assessment and temporary repairs.
When they arrived to do the work they worked very efficiently and professionally and completed the job in one day.
I’ve had this firm here before, a number of years ago and I am more than satisfied with the work done and the cost of the work.

Removed old wooden fence panels and posts. Dug new holes for new posts. Supplied and erected new posts and boards. Refitted two existing gates and removed all old material.
A first class job undertaken by first class tradesmen. They were always organised and arrived when they said they would. Were polite and friendly. From first quote to completed work we were totally satisfied. This is the second time we have used this trader and would have no hesitation to recommend to others. The weather at the time was not too kind but the work carried on without complaints from the tradesmen.

We've had David and his team out a number of times working on our roof. They're way the most diligent and reliable roofers we've had (and we've had a few!). They've done various pieces of work for us ranging from cleaning gutters, replacing slates, and investigating/fixing a mysterious and persistent leak which numerous other roofing companies readily gave up on. We highly recommend and wouldn't go anywhere else for roofing work.

Roof repairs and advice given regarding chimney and potential roof repairs. Very prompt response and quote from David. Practical advice given and very honest about what the firm could and could not manage in terms of the size of the job. Very satisfied with the the work carried out and would definitely highly recommend this family company.

Extremely helpful. Very courteous. Will use this firm again. I do not hesitate to give this firm full marks on all counts.
