Highlights
"We had Internal leaks from our chimney and called out R&S. Very happy with initial contact, inspection and quote. Chimney was beyond repair and removal was recommended as our best option due to the property no longer requiring a functioning fireplace. The whole team carrying out the work were very polite and professional completing the job in one day leaving the site clean and tidy after. Very happy with the whole experience and would not hesitate to recommend R&S."
"I had a quote from Ron to replace the asbestos roof on my garage. It was going to be done in the near future. Unfortunately due to the wet weather the roof became saturated and water started to come through the roof and was concerned about the roof collapsing. I called Ron and explained the situation and he said he can start it the next day and put back another job. The team arrived the next day, they were brilliant and managed to complete the roof in two days. They were totally professional and skilled. I am so pleased I chose R&S roofing and I thoroughly recommend them. They were excellent."
"From quote to completion Ron and his workmen were knowledgeable, helpful and highly skilled in the work carried out. Communication was easy and effective, we felt listened to."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
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.
