"The team were helpful, polite and tidied up well. Work was professionally completed within anticipated timeframe and an additional task of marking the lead roof with ‘Smartwater’ was undertaken for free. Invoice came in matching previously provided estimate."

"A very good experience. The lads turned up promptly looked at the job and kept us informed at what they found. It was quite considerable and with quiet competence and skill over the 6 days they completed the job in a very efficient manner. Always with good humour and unexpected kindness they really earned our respect and I would recommend the company to anyone who asked me. Full marks to Tom and the boys, well done and many thanks"

"We selected Rightway Roofers because they were very understanding of the repair requirements of our older house. Their workmanship and work ethic was first class and they did a great job for us. Tom and the team took the time and trouble to explain their approach to fixing the problems and giving us options. The work was completed very efficiently and everything was cleared up and removed from site at the end of the 5-day work. Thanks Tom and the team for the excellent service, particularly in such cold weather."
