“The completion date is approximate. I have no complaint about the work. But I have been left with a pile of rubbish in the back and front gardens, which Luke promised about a month or so to remove. It is still here. Also, 4 new dormer windows were supplied by JMF Carpentry, one of which has broken. Luke said that the windows were guaranteed for 10 years, but Jake the carpenter told me that they were not guaranteed. So I am left with pile of rubbish and a broken window.”

Highlights
“Its been 18mths my roof hasn't been completed. The work was quoted for in May 2021, There were delays due to covid for the scaffolders and for Luke Woodley the sole trader. The main roof was partially finished by mid Dec 2021. He applied insulation on Christmas eve 24th Dec2021. The scaffolding came down before the leadwork could be finished on the end of the building over the kitchen. Luke said he would finish the leadwork at the same time as the kitchen roofin Jan. He didn't and has never come back. It leaks, a new quote is £2200. I wish to claim from checkertrade for unfinished work.”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for AW Lead Roofing Specialist, including the highlights above. The 47 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
4 week job took nearly 6 months and still not finished. Velux windows not framed properly and not to building regs. We had a raft of excuses as to why Luke didn't turn up along with periods of no contact. Deliveries that never turned up and one that did the supplier came back a month later to try to reposess for non payment after £5k deposit paid for materials. We paid deposits for two further small jobs, we cancelled these and were told 28 days for their return, they've not been returned. We've been conned out of a lot of money for a bad unfinished job

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever 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.
