Review of recommended roofer in Farcet, Peterborough

Review Date:
18th December 2024

Summary:

Replacement of trimming/flashing following leak.

Comments:

Following a recent storm, we had a small leak coming through an external wall into our kids playroom which appeared to be finding its way through some trimming/flashing installed just 8 months ago by another company. 

Naturally, I initially contacted the original company who carried out the work (Williams & Henry Property Maintenance Ltd) to advise them of the leak and was told they would be out two days later to look at the issue but they never arrived and didn't even contact me to rearrange. Sadly, this was about the 5th time I had been let down on promised visits due to other potential problems I had raised following the install without any courtesy call or apology so it was evident that I was wasting my time with this company and I would therefore have to incur the cost of getting the leak repaired myself by getting another roofer in.

I had previously been made aware of Safe Local Trades via another trader, who I also needed to call in after Williams and Henry had damaged part of our corner fascia and replaced it with some very cheap bit of plastic that didn't stay up long, and so I decided to check the website out and this was when I came across N S Rickett Roofing Ltd for the first time. I was very impressed by the reviews left for Neil and Emma and as they were also pretty local to me I decided to contact them to quote me for the repair.

After popping over to assess the issue and providing me with a quote to replace the trims, whilst it may not have been the cheapest quote I'd have likely got, I was also very impressed in the way Neil and Emma conducted themselves and it's not every day you come across a husband and wife team so I thought 'let's give 'em a go'! Well sometimes cheap quotes are cheaper for a reason as the quality of the work carried out by Neil and Emma really was on another level, so much so that I will definitely be getting them in again, when funds allow, to replace some of the other trims. They are a genuinely lovely couple who clearly put the customer first and have their very best interests at heart. 

So for anyone who's managed to stay awake and read this extremely longwinded review, please please do consider Neil and Emma should you require any roofing work done as I don't think you'll be disappointed!

So thanks again to you both, you're an absolute credit to the roofing industry!

Neil and Emma arrived on time with all the required equipment. Both worked together as a team in a professional manner.

Review of recommended roofer in Stanground, Peterborough

Review Date:
4th July 2023

Summary:

Removed old ridge vent in roof, refixed ridge tiles,new battens and felt to complete repair.  

Comments:

After having had some new central heating installed, we were left with a vent in our roof space which was now no longer needed. We explained the problem to Neil and Emma and were advised that this issue could be resolved.

Neil came and reviewed the situation both externally and internally in the loft space. He explained clearly what needed to be done i.e., remove the old vent, some new felt and battens, and refix the ridge tiles to complete the job. He was able to give us a cost estimate which was in line with what we expected.

Neil and Emma attended a couple of weeks later and did the repair in about two hours. Both worked well and left no mess.   

The estimate was as per the final bill .

Taking everything into account we were very satisfied with the work carried out. Both are good workers, and we recommend N.S Rickett Roofing Limited. Use the Company with confidence and you will get first class work at a fair price.
