A Roofing Company You Can Trust
Your roof protects the structure, contents and occupants of your property. Choosing the right roofing company is therefore about more than simply finding the lowest quotation.
The quality of the inspection, the proposed solution, the materials selected and the standard of installation will all affect how reliably the finished roof performs.
R W Roofing Services Ltd takes the time to inspect each roof properly, explain what has been found and recommend work appropriate to the property. Where a targeted repair is sufficient, you will not automatically be advised to replace the entire roof.
From the initial survey through to the final site clearance, the focus remains on clear communication, professional workmanship and providing a reliable roofing solution.






Over 22 Years of Roofing Experience Years of Practical Roofing Experience
R W Roofing Services Ltd is led by Richie Walters, who has more than 22 years of practical roofing experience.
During that time, Richie has worked on a wide variety of pitched roofs, flat roofs, emergency repairs and complete roof-replacement projects. This includes work on modern homes, period properties, listed buildings and commercial premises.
Experience is especially important when investigating leaks and recurring roofing problems. The place where water becomes visible inside a property is not necessarily directly beneath the original defect.
Identifying the true source of a leak requires a thorough inspection and an understanding of how the roof covering, flashings, valleys, chimneys, ventilation and drainage work together.
Richie is supported by Lucy Walters, Business Operations Manager, helping to provide organised communication and a professional service throughout every project.
Qualified and Professionally Recognised Roofers
Practical experience is supported by recognised roofing qualifications, site-safety training and professional trade memberships.
Richie’s roofing qualifications cover tiling, slating and flat roofing. He has also completed Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme certification, supporting the safe and organised management of roofing projects.
The company continues to invest in professional training as roofing materials, installation systems and industry requirements develop.

Honest & Reliable

Free Roof Surveys and Clear Written Quotations
R W Roofing Services Ltd provides free roof surveys and no-obligation written quotations throughout its normal coverage area.
The purpose of the survey is to assess the roof’s condition, identify the likely cause of any problems and determine what work is genuinely required.
Customers receive a straightforward explanation of the findings and a written quotation setting out the proposed roofing work.
Drone photography and video footage can be used to inspect difficult-to-reach areas and provide a clearer view of the roof’s condition. This can help customers understand why particular repairs or replacement work have been recommended.
Where scaffolding, waste removal and final site clearance are required, these items are included within the quotation. This provides a clearer understanding of the anticipated project cost before the customer decides whether to proceed.

Honest Advice Based on the Condition of Your Roof
Not every roofing problem requires a complete replacement.
Where an isolated repair is likely to provide a suitable and lasting solution, R W Roofing Services Ltd will explain the available repair options. Where the roof has reached the end of its practical life, the reasons for recommending replacement will be clearly explained.
Serviceable tiles and slates may be retained or reused where appropriate. Matching or complementary materials can also usually be sourced when repairing an existing roof.
This practical approach helps customers make an informed decision based on the actual condition of their roof rather than being encouraged towards unnecessary work.
Professional From Survey to Completion
A professional roofing service involves much more than the work completed on the roof itself.
-
A Thorough Inspection
The roof is examined to identify visible damage, deterioration and the likely cause of any leaks.
Depending on the property, the inspection may include the roof covering, chimney, leadwork, valleys, ridges, verges, roofline, drainage and accessible roof space.
Drone equipment can also be used where it provides a safer or more detailed view of difficult-to-reach areas.
-
Straightforward Recommendations
The findings are explained in clear language, helping customers understand whether the roof requires a targeted repair, more substantial remedial work or complete replacement. -
A Detailed Written Quotation
The written quotation describes the proposed work and includes the expected scaffolding, waste removal and site-clearance requirements where applicable. -
Unforeseen Work Discussed First
Some roofing defects only become visible after the existing covering has been removed. These may include rotten decking, damaged battens, deteriorated rafters or unsuitable previous repairs.
If hidden damage is discovered, the problem and any additional cost are discussed with the customer before further work is undertaken. Additional work is not started without the customer’s agreement.
-
Protection During the Work
R W Roofing Services Ltd plans roofing projects carefully to protect the property while work is underway.
Where a roof needs to remain incomplete overnight or during unsuitable weather, temporary waterproof protection can be provided. Depending on the project, this may include temporary roof coverings or a protective tin roof.
-
Careful Site Clearance
Waste produced by the agreed roofing work is removed and the working area is left clean and tidy at the end of the project.

R W Roofing Services Ltd provides long-term guarantees according to the roofing system and type of installation completed.

Fully Insured Roofing Services
R W Roofing Services Ltd is fully insured and holds £5 million in public liability cover.
Public liability insurance provides important protection in the unlikely event that roofing work results in accidental property damage or personal injury.
It is one of the essential checks homeowners and commercial clients should make before allowing a contractor to work on their property.
Evidence of insurance can be provided when required, giving customers additional reassurance before work begins.

Proven Roofing Materials and Systems

-

Where appropriate, existing roof coverings can be carefully retained and reused. Complementary materials and suitable roofing details can also be selected to preserve the established appearance of the building.
