No reservations in recommending William Winter. He and his two lads attended promptly and worked diligently to repair the chimney and roofing to a high standard. The boys were polite and appreciative of cold drinks offered. William took photos of the damage and his quote was more than reasonable. Helpfully, he pointed out areas that could prove troublesome which were dealt with promptly.

Good work but slight delay
My career in roofing began in 1978, predominately on new build developments. In 1987, although continuing with the new builds, I began to branch out into domestic roofing. This included re-roofs, extensions, repairs and leak investigation. Alongside this, in 2010 I took a Contracts Manager position with a national roofing company, In this role I am responsible for the labour and materials required for various developments in the South East. It is also part of my role to oversee the customer service team. My contacts within the industry enable me to obtain very competitive prices on materials. I also have a large labour resource to carry out even the bigger jobs.

An excellent experience from start to finish. I'd much rather give business to smaller family-run companies like Ceejay. Great communication throughout the process. The whole window fitting took slightly less than 3 days. Connor and his colleague were friendly, polite, very meticulous in their work, and really good at tidying up at the end of the day. The new windows look simply superb, and have transformed our house. I would certainly use Ceejay again.
