I highly rjecommend JDL Roofing. We've had work done by them twice now and they've done a very good job both times. They work hard and definitely put in the hours. They clear up every day, not just at the end of a job. But do stock up on coffee, milk and sugar before they come!!

I wholeheartedly recomment JDL. They were clear about what needws doing and why, even though the job escalated into much bigger than orginally planned. They work hard and do a good job. Neighbours have commented on how good the finished roof looks.

This was a project that began as replacement of the house roof membrane and ended up with replacement of the roof tiles, which had corroded , and end gable wooden supports which had rotted. Throughout James and his team were clear and honest about the necessary work involved backing this up with a revised quotation. We are extremely pleased and satisfied with the completed work, so much so that we asked JDL Roofing to continue with replacing the membrane and tiles on the adjacent garage roof. JDL Roofing has done a first class job and they are free to use our property as a reference anytime.

Verified by CheckatradeLeaky Dormer and Roof replacement

The work required consisted of stripping the (South facing) roofing. Replacement of damaged and porous felt, Re-battening, retiling and completion of associated new components, eg trays, eves, ridges and gable ends. Stripping of Dormer roof felt and installation of new boards, GRP fibreglass and trims. All debris and rubbish was removed on a daily basis and the area cleaned up before leaving. In short, a very professional company with a friendly and competent approach to a difficult messy job. I would definitely have no hesitation of contacting again should the need arise.

Verified by CheckatradeRoof leak repair

James was very good at diagnosing the roof leak and giving me a repair plan. This entailed replacing the felt on the south side of the roof to the ridge so all the tiles on that side had to be removed and reinstalled after the new felt was put down. The job also needed scaffolding to be erected. Everything was done efficiently and the roofers were very pleasant and knowledgeable. I would recommend them.

Verified by CheckatradeRetiling and refelting the roof

James provided us with estimates to carry out the substantial repairs and renewal required. This was done by his team in exemplary fashion. At the end of the job, the clearing up was done very efficiently and the grass was checked for material which had fallen there. The gutters and soffits were cleaned, as well as the windows.

Excellent work on a complicated roof of our bungalow. James fully explained the reasons for the work needed and the team worked extremely efficiently in completing the job. Jake and Len were present for the whole job and were suppoorted by Dan and Sean in the earlier stages. Thoroughly recommended.

Verified by CheckatradeNew roof, soffits, facias and guttering.

Originally planned just to repair a leaky roof but on further inspection it was obvious that the whole roof needed replacing with new felt, battens and tiles, plus replacement soffits, facias and guttering. James and his team (plus the scaffolders) completed the work quickly and efficiently, tidying up afterwards. I was talked through what was going to be done beforehand, and what was done afterwards. JDLRoofing Ltd. guarantee their work, so I have peace of mind and a job well done!

Originally, I got in touch with JDL Roofing Ltd. because of a leak in the roof. Upon inspection, it was obvious the felt had reached the end of its useful life, so too the battens and tiles. Therefore, the job turned into a complete new roof, plus replacement of soffits, facias and guttering. James talked me through the work to be done and the estimate seemed reasonable for the amount of work involved. The work (including scaffolders) was done promptly and efficiently. They tidied up after themselves (which was a big job in itself), and James then talked me through what had been done and showed me video of the roof afterwards. The team at JDL Roofing were tremendous, and couldn't have been more helpful. I was kept in the loop regarding the materials to be used, which I really appreciated. JDL Roofing guarantee their work, so it's been a good job, well done and most importantly, peace of mind!

Originally planned just to repair the ridge tiles but on further inspection I needed the full roof re-tiled. James and his team (and scaffolders) completed the work quickly to a high standard. James kept me informed of the progress throughout. I would highly recommend JDL Roofing.

On commencing work to replace my ridge tiles it became apparent that I needed the roof re-tiled. JDL Roofing then completed the required work quickly, in a professional manner and to a very high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

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 register
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.
