"We would highly recommend this company. They provided videos and physical evidence of the necessary repairs. The workers were extremely polite, hardworking and competent. Everyday they ensured that everything was tidy before they left. Walter regularly updated us on the progress and timescales. The work was completed to a high standard and they have maintained contact to ensure there are no ongoing problems. They are a company that clearly cares."

"I cannot recommend Walter and the guys highly enough. Our first roofer let us down, we were on a tight schedule and these guys came to the rescue so our build was not held up. They did a fantastic job, and were a pleasure to have around. They went above and beyond for us, coming back over the weekend to make sure everything was finished on time and helping to negotiate with building suppliers. They were wonderful with my daughter who has additional needs too. They tidied up after themselves. Seriously, they are absolutely brilliant!"

Common questions

If we haven't answered yours, just call - Walter or one of the team will help.

How quickly can you come out?
For active leaks we usually get someone out the same day or next morning. Standard quote visits are typically within 2-3 working days, scheduled at a time that suits you.
Is the quote really free? Will you pressure me to book?
Yes, completely free, with no hard sell. We give you a written quote and follow up once - that's it. Most of our customers compare three quotes; we're happy to be one of them.
Are you insured?
Yes - we carry full public liability and employer's liability insurance. We're happy to email a copy of the certificate before any work starts. Just ask.
What's covered by the 15-year guarantee?
All workmanship - meaning if something goes wrong because of how we fitted it, we come back and put it right at no cost, for 15 years. Materials are covered separately by the manufacturer's warranty (typically 10-25 years depending on product).
What if there's bad weather during the job?
We weather-watch every job and only do work we can finish or protect the same day. We've never had a customer's home damaged by weather mid-job.
Which areas do you cover?
Our core area is Milton Keynes and Bedford, plus Leighton Buzzard, Biggleswade, Newport Pagnell, Bletchley, Wolverton, Olney, Kempston, Ampthill and all the villages in between. If you're nearby, give us a call and we'll let you know.
Do I need to pay anything up front?
For repairs, no - you pay on completion once you're happy. For larger replacement jobs we ask for a materials deposit (typically 25%) once the job is booked, then the balance on completion.
