He built a new brick wall in the front garden. At the rear he renovated and repaired external guttering and pipework and replaced faulty flashing to the glass roof of my conservatory (a very complicated job owing the property's architecture). He cleared ivy which had been climbing up the house and repointed the back exterior wall. He supervised the installation of new glass to the conservatory roof and repaired extensive storm damage to a back garden wall. He also renovated a patio." > Source: Ian Cameron (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "Partial re-felting to eliminate roof leak. Re-sealing of air vent extractor pipe to cure water leak. Chimney swept and spinning cowl fitted to improve updraught with open flame gas fire and to prevent downdraught when gas fire not in use. Bird guard fitted to another chimney. As with roof work done for me back in 2007 Mr Welch's recent work was satisfactorily completed on time and in accordance with the price he quoted. I value Mr Welch's advice because he takes time to explain the technicalities and options there may be for the repair work needed." > Source: Abbey Wood Resident (5.0, via Which? Trusted Traders) > "I would be pleased to recommend Thomas Welch & Sons. They have carried out numerous works for me over many years. The most recent work was to remedy a roof leak to my 1930’s semi and this involved replacing the lead valleys to the gable/pediment, relining and retiling it. The work could only be described as superb in every detail, with fine quality lead work and excellently cut tiles to create straight and true valley definitions. Other work carried out included renovation to the main chimney stack and pots. The chimney brickwork required repointing and reflaunching and the lead flashings and soakers repointed, and again, this work was undertaken to the highest professional standards with the pointing mortar colour and mix carefully matched to the Laing-built original specification. I would describe the company as being Master Builders and Thomas Welch as a Master Craftsman in the various building specialisms." > Source: Rob (5.0, via Which?
