The team put in 2 flush roof vents to try and sort out a condensation problem in the roof space. Touch wood looks like the problem is sorted.

Two separate storm damage repairs to my roof carried out in January and February. Considering the pressure they are under at the moment the work was carried out quickly with an efficient and friendly service. Happy to recommend them.

Repaired roof from recent storm damage and a general tidy up of tiles and gutters. Happy with the work and overall service.

A number of tiles came loose on our B listed roof during a recent storm. All repairs carried out efficiently and our blocked gutters were also cleared. Good communication, and really nice guys. Will definitely recommend them, and will use the company again

Had Alan out took at some work needed to repair/replace some guttering and downpipes and general roof maintenance - replace slates, pointing work. Arrived promptly as usual and provided a clear assessment of what needed done and (I thought) a fair price. He advised that they were very busy and it would take a few months before he could schedule the work and I was happy to wait. He duly contacted me a few months later and he and another worker came out and completed the work in the course of a day. Turns up when he says, does a good job and charges are reasonable. I recommend WH Kay.

General roof maintenance and replacement of ridge tiles on extension, very helpful, polite and reliable, would highly recommend.

Storm Arwen caused damage to our property including displaced and damaged slates and guttering.
With concerns about safety and with water getting into our property we were so relieved after spending days trying to get someone to carry out a repair (due to demand at this time) when David and Alan stepped in.
Despite being extremely busy and having the extra hassle of getting scaffolding and permit for this in place they kept us updated, came at agreed times and worked very hard for 2 full days to complete the repairs. We feel the work was carried out to a high standard.
We would definitely use WHKay again and recommend to others.

The work involved replacing about a dozen ridge tiles on both my roof and garage. The work was first class in every respect and Davy and his brother are obviously very good tradesmen.

Cracks and holes in the lead flashings were sealed and repaired. Coping stones were recemented. Broken slates were replaced. Leaking cast iron gutters were stripped, cleaned resecured and sealed. All gutters were cleared.
I was recommended Mr Kay by a neighbour. The service provided was second to none. They remained at my property until all the work was completed. I will be approaching Mr Kay for any and all future roofing maintenance and would thoroughly recommend him to anybody.

We had damage to our roof caused by Storm Arwen. After being let down by our insurance company I tried to find roofers to fix the damage. We left messages with various firms who never returned our calls and a company who said they would look at the damage but never turned up. I found W H Kay on the Trusted Trader website. David spoke to us about the damage, gave us a quote for the work and fixed the damage within a week. The work included removing and replacing a damaged ridge cap and reinforcing clips. He returned our phone calls and emails and turned up when he said he would. We are very pleased with the work and would definitely recommend him.

Following storm Arwen in November 2021, we suffered damage to the pantiles on our roof. In several places, tiles had been displaced and broken and there were gaps allowing ingress of rain.
At very short notice considering the widespread damage in the area, David and Alan Kay arranged to come and check the roof and repair where possible.
This they did and spent several hours up ladders removing broken tiles and replacing those with salvaged tiles.
We have now used the company over many years for various tasks and have found them to be excellent workers and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Our kitchen roof was in a bad state after storm Arwen. A neighbour recommended David so I rang him on the Sunday lunchtime fully expecting to get a voice mail since I recognised demand for roofers would be massive! David answered, discussed the damage and after I mailed photos had sent me a quote by mid afternoon - amazing given the circumstances. Even better was he rang me on the Monday morning to say his first job he'd had to cancel as there was no power so he was on his way. Really efficient and will do their very best to help you out. They came and promptly fixed the broken parts with much better quality materials and did a thorough inspection and fixed any other damaged parts. Definitely keeping this number in my phone book and would recommend to anyone needing roofer/builder.

Making good and fixing a substantial leak underneath the shower unit. Fixing various other issues in the bathroom (all due to bad workmanship from another company)
Replacing our sitting-room ceiling and sorting out electrical work.
They helped us out when companies would not, giving us a realistic time frame for the work and has essentially gone above and beyond to sort out what was required.
Superb work carried out by Mr Kay and his company. Good professional attitude with good clean work carried out with the minimum of fuss form all involved.
We cannot recommend them enough and we would certainly use them again should we need to.

Highly satisfied with the work carried out on my roof by this company. This was the first instance of use; the team turned up on schedule and worked diligently throughout the day to complete the work required, to a very high standard.
Great flexibility was also shown in that, problems identified during the work, were brought into scope and, rectified as part of the scheduled work. More than happy to recommend this company to other people. First class job done, including the removal of all debris/surplus materials.

Remove and replace rotten lintel. Strip back portion of roof to repair gully. Clear gutters, check over house roof and make a small repair.
The work had been booked in earlier this year. David kept in touch about timescales for them coming to do the work. They arrived when they said they would and carried out the work to a high standard. The work area was cleared of all debris. Friendly professional service. I highly recommend them.

Our pantile roof was overhauled and repaired as required. Some additional work arose on investigation and they were happy to attend to that while on the job. They did a good job and were careful with the building (newly decorated). Some tiles were replaced or cut, gutters cleaned, fascia board repaired and colour matched pointing applied as necessary. They were recommended to us by friends and we have similarly recommended them to others.

All work caried out as expected, job left very clean and tidy. Company easy to contact and deal with, they discussed what was to be done and were always ready to change anything or to look at alternatives.
