"Ryan was very helpful on this our second experience of him helping with difficulties with our roof . His communication skills were excellent & he always kept us informed as to when he could visit during an exceptionally busy time for him after diabolical weather ."

"Issue was multiple leaks from heavily worn lead and missing/broken slates. Ryan attended promptly, using drone for preliminary assessment. He discussed estimate in person, warning that more damage might be revealed. Ryan communicated particularly well throughout, with videos, full explanations, updates and clear choices for further action. The whole team made a professional, hardworking impression. I appreciated the 20 year guarantee."

Ark roofers are a very professional company who repaired my roof gulley to a high standard. In spite of a slight delay due to the wet weather the job was done on time and to the cost of the quote. The staff were helpful and professional in carrying out the work.

Quick, helpful and clear communication from Ryan, with the work being carried out quickly. The roofer (Rob) was polite, tidy and helpful with any questions.

Started out being a job to remove moss from the roof. However, after starting the job, it became clear that there were issues with the soffits, fascia boards and roof tiles. The job escalated to a roof replacement after the evidence was shown to me (75 year old roof) The problems were clearly communicated through the use of pictures, videos, messages and texts (WhatsApp mainly) - daily. Excellent communication throughout the job All third parties were handled - like scaffolding and waste disposal. The environment around the house was kept clean. Long lasting, high quality workmanship

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with the work from ryan and his team From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and honest. The team turned up on time every day, worked hard, and kept everything tidy around my property. What really stood out was how clearly they explained everything – no hidden costs or surprises, just straight-up honesty and quality workmanship. The new roof looks fantastic, and I feel confident knowing it’s been done properly with great attention to detail. It’s rare

We had Ryan come round and look at a leak in our ceiling on Friday and got the work finished the following Tuesday. He provided detailed videos of the issues we faced and gave us more explanation on what needed doing. He was fantastic to deal with from start to finish and I highly recommend them.

This job initiated as a repair of botched work on my roof (nothing to do with Ark), however Ryan confirmed that my whole 1930s roof/chimneys were in a poor state. He very honestly offered options of a front roof repair, or ad hoc patching, or a complete overhaul. I opted for complete replacement & I'm so glad that I did. Ryan and his team were unfailingly on time, courteous, professional, went above&beyond to ensure top quality; the end result is 5* stunning, neighbours are asking who did the work. Trust Ark, the best choice ever!

We wanted to fit a skylight in the kitchen that has a flat roof. The edge slopes and is tiled, and some of the tiles needed replaced and the timber renewing. We also replaced the felt and timber on the flat roof. During the work, we also took the decision to insulate the roof. Ryan’s team were always punctual and worked incredibly hard to get all the work turned around in a week. They also took the time to explain the processes they were using and how the materials were installed to me which I really appreciated. We are really happy with the result and it’s a massive improvement to the house.

Ryan came out to assess the work involved to repair my loose roof tiles, and within an hour, his team were on site. I was very impressed and would recommend Ark Roofing.

I completed a lot of research before contacting Ark after my neighbours had a horrific experience with another roofing company. Ryan took the time to show me the problem using his drone and provided a quote that was accurate and reasonably priced. The whole job from initial quote to completion, including scaffolding being erected and taken down was under two weeks. If like me you are cautious about not being ripped off and finding a decent roofer, then I can’t recommended enough the services of Ark, Ryan and his team. Already speaking to them about a job on another property !

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.

Check the Architects Register
Smart checks

Before you hire an architect

Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
