That is the approach R W Roofing Services brings to every project.

A Family-Run Roofing Company
R W Roofing Services is a family-run business, and that personal approach is an important part of how the company works.
Richie and his team carry out the physical roofing work, while Lucy Walters, Business Operations Manager, helps with the day-to-day running of the business, customer communication and organisation behind the scenes.
Lucy has many years of experience in operational roles and customer service, helping to make sure enquiries, appointments and project updates are handled clearly and professionally.
For customers, that means dealing with a roofing company that is approachable, organised and accountable from the first phone call through to the final clean-up.






Led by Richie Walters
Richie started his roofing career after leaving school, working as an apprentice within a family-run roofing business. That early experience gave him a strong grounding in traditional roofing skills, practical problem solving and the importance of learning the trade properly on site.
Over the years, Richie has worked across a wide range of roofing projects, from everyday domestic roof repairs through to larger and more technically demanding work.
His background includes apprenticeship training, roof installation, flat roofing, waterproofing, site supervision, traditional roofing and specialist work on listed buildings.
Traditional and listed buildings are an area Richie particularly enjoys. These projects often require more care, patience and judgement, because the work has to respect the character of the building while still providing proper weather protection.
Richie’s priority has always been simple: provide honest advice, complete the work properly, and leave the customer confident that their roof has been looked after by people who care about the result.
What Matters to us

Proper advice before any work begins
A roof problem is not always obvious from ground level. A leak inside the property may be caused by slipped tiles, failed leadwork, a chimney issue, poor ventilation, damaged felt, blocked gutters or problems with the roof structure itself.
That is why R W Roofing Services takes time to inspect the roof properly before recommending the best course of action.
If a repair is the right solution, the team will say so. If a roof is beyond economical repair, they will explain what they have found and why a replacement may be the better long-term option.

Workmanship that stands up to the weather
A roof has to deal with wind, rain, frost, heat and year-round exposure. Good workmanship is not just about how the job looks on the day it is finished. It is about how well the roof performs over time.
R W Roofing Services focuses on the details that make the difference, including preparation, suitable materials, correct installation, leadwork details, ventilation, drainage, roofline finishing and leaving the site clean and tidy.

Clear communication from start to finish
Roofing work can feel stressful for homeowners, especially when there is a leak, storm damage or an unexpected repair.
R W Roofing Services aims to make the process as clear as possible by explaining what needs doing, what is included in the quote, and what the customer can expect before, during and after the work.
