Recently used RKS Roofing for a full re-roof of a large detached slate roof - involved new insulation layer, re-use of slates and additional reclaimed slates where required and all pointing, flashing and woodwork repaired or replaced. Richard was excellent from start to finish. Materials were acquired in advance, which avoided some of the recent price hikes. He was continually in touch prior to job commencing to update on likely start dates. The biggest asset was that his communication throughout was great - always updating us on how the job was progressing, anything that might impact on costs

I can't recommend RKS Roofing highly enough. By far the best experience I have had of using any trade - ever. Reliable, first class communication and response and brilliant work - overall a completely refreshing and outstanding experience for what could have been a really stressful job (complete re-roof) . A big thank you to Richard and his team.

RKS - they're the tops. I have used Richard and his team at RKS several times (from an urgent repair to a complete re-roofing, and insulation installation as well) over the last few years and can only say that they are unbeatable. Not only are they excellent workmen who do a brilliant job, but they are prompt, turn up when they say they will, friendly, courteous and reliable. Richard keeps in touch with you at every stage, and follows up after the job is finished too, which is a big bonus. The prices he charged us were very reasonable - but he didn't skimp on labour or materials. And, he and his

Rich is now the only roofer I will use, having used other companies before his. He's honest and knowledgeable. I have an old 19th century house and Rich and his team know how to work with it. His team work hard when on site and are respectful. No other company has come close. There are not many construction companies I could give 5 stars to, RKS is an exception.

We've recently had our roof fully re-done, and I was extremely impressed with the way the work was undertaken and completed. There were a number of complications to the work - not least the gable end of our roof being 4 inches out of square! - but these were professionally overcome with no compromises on the quality of the workmanship. Communication was excellent throughout the whole job, with all queries and questions promptly responded to. I can not recommend RKS Roofing Contractors highly enough.

We have used Richard and his team a couple of times now for roof repairs and would not look at another company. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The team is very hard working when on site and Richard keeps you constantly updated with photos of the work being performed. Richard and his team are very popular and you may have to wait a while for the work but wed far rather wait than chance our arm with a different company.

Richard and team were fantastic, they installed a solar tube into our hallway. The quality of the installation is excellent, all the work carried out to the highest standard. Customer service was fantastic throughout the whole experience, from quotation to installation. I would recommend them and I would certainly use them again.
