We used RH Roofers to install our brand new tiled roof and they did a cracking job with it. I found their services brilliant. Not the cheapest of quotes but I am so glad we went with them, the quality of the work is outstanding - Ricky really knows what he’s doing. More...

Gutter Installation or Replacement
I needed some quick replacement of facia boards and gutters - and seem to look like a dunce. Ricky viewed the job and quoted £2700 'all considered, including a guarantee'. He immediately dropped his price to £1400 (without guarantee) when I told him I had an offer in that range. £1300 for a guarantee? I ended up having the job done, within days, by a another reputable roofing company for about half of even the lowered amount...go figure! More...

Look at every other review on my account please. 5 stars, all of them. You asked us to give you a quote, somebody else offered you cheaper, you went for them: we did not force you to go with us, you pay for the quality of work. We did not even do any work for you so how you can write a review i do not know?

We just had a large new roof installed by Ricky and he team. The work was done in time, they worked very well under pressure due to lack of materials from the builders yards, he controlled the whole job very well and the outcome was marvellous. Great work!

Landscaping
I should have suspected that his lack of review means lack of experience. Rick is not a landscaper, at best he is a salesman and a project manager.
I was impressed by his pitch and passion so I commissioned him to do my 210 sqm garden. Rick ended up subcontracting most of the work to others. The patio was laid by someone else and the concrete slab was done by another, Rick only laid the turf. He gets a 2 star for his passion, for doing the work and having the determination to complete, but quality and professionalism were really lacking.
Rick promised a completion timeline of 6 days but ended up taking over 14 days. He escalated issues with the neighbours and damaged several infrastructure/equipment in the property. The final job was ok and he replaced the damaged items but my expectations were far greater than what was delivered due to his promises.
Rick said he would use medallion turf which he didn't, and in less than 1 week 25% of the grass died because he laid the turf on concrete which spilled over from the patio installation. I will now have to change the turf In a later date and this will cost more money. I paid a huge sum to get the garden done but I feel like I wasted 50% of it by giving the project to the wrong person.
Rick is a young passionate man but I think he needs more experience, training and improvememt on his interpersonal skills.

The reason the grass died is because it was being walked on and used instantly after it was laid. I stated that it has to be goven three weeks to set into the ground and two days later there was a party on it with a large bouncy castle. This is why it would have been damaged unfortunatley. Also i didnt subcontract my work, what i did was get a very experienced professional who works along side me to lay the slabs to perfection, this is so we get the absolute best finish on the job and i can focus working with another area if the garden whilst the slabs are being laid. Finally we had troubles with the neighbours all weekd who assulted me, blocked the entrance so we couldnt get our machinery through and materials, was very verbally abusive towards us all and held us back massively on the job as they didnt want the work to be done. This was very unfortunate and we had to deal with this distraction. I took alot of great care in your garden and i hope you enjoy it.
