We had an issue with water coming through the roof and into the wall cavity. Lee came and gave a quote based on what the issue likely was, and once the scaffolding was up he did a water check and confirmed what needs to be done. Throughout the job the team sent pictures and videos showing the work. Fantastic work, would recommend and will use again if we have any future issues." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Lee is very thorough and has a keen eye for detail. He knows how to use his team for specific skills. We had pictures and videos as the roof and chimney work progressed. From installing the scaffolding , to stripping off the whole old roof and replacing it fully through the rain and cold weather in only 3 days ( no easy task! ) , plus professionally building a new lead tray for a problematic chimney , Lee and his team showed that they could do what other roofers only patched before , or would not know how to repair or replace, but charged comparabile amounts. Highly recommend L J Symonds ." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Lee Symonds and his team go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy. From the moment Lee came to give a quote, Lee was happy to answer lots of questions so I completely understood the work to be carried out. The work is to a very high standard and they are indeed roof specialists, sending me daily updates of work during and after completion. I would highly recommend Lee and the team.Very clean too!!" > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Roofer, Tiler ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Conservatory Roof Conversions - Flat Roofing Installation - Pitched Roofing Installation - Roof Lights Installation - Roof Replacement - Rubber Roofing Installation - Slate / Tiled Roofing Installation - Slate Roof Installation - Tiled Conservatory Roof Installation ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

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. - A major re-roof must meet building regulations. Prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. ## Contact - Phone: 07886 074089 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/l-j-symonds-roofing Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 2 named public sources.
