Highlights
"Showed up when they said, got the job done, communicated well and I’m happy with the work. Recommended."
"The team at J & L Welch Roofing & Paving have been outstanding from start to finish. Before the job had even begun, they made our roof fully watertight, which gave us huge peace of mind & really showed their commitment to looking after their customers. The quality of their work throughout the main job was superb — completed to a really high standard and impressively quickly, even with the poor weather conditions. Their attention to detail and professionalism truly stood out. Communication was excellent at every stage. The owner responded promptly to my queries & always offered clear, honest,"
"I needed a full roof replacement on a 4 bed semi detached. The roofing company were recommended to me. John came out to give a quote and talk me through my options. He wasn’t the cheapest but was l long way from the most expensive. I had 4 different companies out to quote. We agreed a start date. It was started a day late due to very heavy rain. The weather was dreadful during the work but I was water tight throughout. The guys who were doing the work were very friendly and polite. They cleaned up throughly at the end of each day.id highly recommend"

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.
