The person who came and gave me a quote, for the work of a new roof, was very professional and friendly. The work undertaken was done efficiently and with minimal fuss. The job only took a few days of minor disruption. They tidied up after themselves and any issue I had was dealt with quickly and courteously. For the price and the work undertaken I can highly recommend this company.

I would definitely recomend this company. John was courteous and polite. Promptly giving me a competitive quote iro leaking roof. Two days later work to repair leak involved replacing flashing surrounding Flu, cracked tiles under moss and hole in felt was completed in a timeless and efficient manner. Despite extreme weather conditions the two guys arrived promptly and worked effectively and in a professional manner leaving the area clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in using this company again and confident to recomend to friends and family. A job well done at amazing price

We have just had some repairs to roof and guttering by this company. After trying to contact a couple of other businesses who were local and no response. I sent a message to J&L Welch with my requirements. We arranged a date for an estimate and the work was done this week. Prompt, efficient and very reasonable prices. This number is now in my phone. Ring this company first is my recommendation.

John and his team were brilliant from start to finish. John came to the bungalow on time and was not pushy in any way. We were treated with respect and all staff were courteous at all times and worked hard to complete our job. We would recommend John and his team to anyone considering roof repairs. Well done lads!

John has gone out of his way to help us, I was having a lot of sleepness nights because of the roof issues we were experiencing. John and his team have been brilliant, i'm able to sleep again! Wouldn't go anywhere else, polite, helpful and really cares about the job he is doing. If you want a trust worthy roofer, I doubt you could find anyone better tbh

Great company, will use again. They came round to put some new guttering and fascia boards up, which Im very pleased with. One quote I recieved from another company for the same job was more than double the cost of what I paid with J Welch. No messing round with scafolding etc, definately worth getting a few quotes before getting work done.
