I found Mr Taylor and his team very helpful. They worked all through till late evening to make sure the roof was watertight. They were very friendly and a pleasure to have.

J Taylor Roofing replaced our flat roof and on a separate occasion came out to replace a broken tile following a storm. We were recommended J Taylor Roofing and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Found them to be very friendly, honest and reliable.

John made a special effort to repair our roof very quickly. He was very friendly, very knowledgable and when he invoiced us was within what he quoted . He also made a repair to our chimney with a very small cost. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Sorry it's taken so long to leave a review that I can't remember the date. It was about 3/4 weeks ago. Initially Mr Taylor came to give me a quote but said as it was a small job he could do it right away. I was so pleased as 4 large slates had fallen from the side of the house and I was very worried about the danger to my little grandson. He gave me a good quote , went to get the replacements and with the help of his associate quickly did a great job ,cleared away all the rubbish and most important of all he loves cats !! and made a big fuss of my 4 .

Tom Lamming5.0 / 5

Friendly and knowledgeable. Came out to see our roof at short notice and priced competitively against other quotes we had. Flexible on timings for completing the work - happy to work whilst I was out at work and always took the time and trouble to talk me through the work done. Highly recommend!

Replied promptly to initial call over NY period and arranged date to visit to quote. Price was competitive with others sourced on this site. Agreed a date to do job, which was while I was at work. Did job to agreed standard (replacing damaged tiles, resetting ridge tiles, removing moss from tiles, and clearing gutters) and left tidy. Left invoice and didn't chase payment. Would happily use him again.

Smart checks

Before you hire a roofer

Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note — that is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee — not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
