Check us before you trust us.

Pitched roofs, flat roofs, repairs and gutters across Leicester. Every job on this site carries a date and an area, the deposit policy is printed further down, and the badges are explained so you can look us up yourself. We'd rather you did.

01 / What we do

Four things, done properly.

02 / The jobs, dated and placed

Don't take our word for it. Check the dates.

Every job here says when it was done and where. Ask us about any of them and we'll tell you the street. Roofing has earned its reputation for chancers; this is how we answer it.

Nov 2025Syston LE7Flat roof

Garage roof, ponding water and a patched split. Old felt off, EPDM rubber on, twenty-year guarantee in writing.

Sep 2025Oadby LE2Repair

Bedroom leak traced to two slipped slates and a cracked ridge. Fixed on the first visit, photographed before and after, no deposit taken.

Jul 2025Leicester LE3Gutters & fascias

Full replacement in white uPVC, rotten fascia timber cut out rather than capped over. Ladders not scaffold, done in a day.

03 / The badges, explained

What the logos commit us to.

Anyone can print a shield on a flyer. Here's what each one means, in one line each, and how you'd check it before we set a ladder up.

TRUSTMARK REGISTERED

TrustMark registered

The government-endorsed scheme, with a complaints process that has teeth. Look us up on the TrustMark register before you ring us. Please do.

TRADE FEDERATION

Roofing trade federation member

The trade body vets members' work, insurance and accounts before letting them in, and re-checks. Membership is searchable on their site.

£5M INSURED

Insured to £5 million

Public liability on every job. If a ridge tile goes through your conservatory, the policy carries it, not you. Certificate shown before we start, not after you ask.

20 YEARS GUARANTEED

Manufacturer-backed guarantees

Flat-roof systems installed to the manufacturer's own spec, so the guarantee comes from them as well as us, and outlives any firm's letterhead.

Badge artwork on this concept is an illustrative placeholder. A real build shows the firm's actual scheme logos with registration numbers, linked so a customer can check them in seconds.

04 / Money, out in the open

Our deposit policy, in writing.

Repairs

No deposit. You pay when the work's done and you've seen the before-and-after photos. A repair should never cost you a penny before it exists.

Re-roofs & flat roofs

25% when materials are ordered. Never before, never in cash, and it's on the written quote with the date. The balance is due when the job's finished and you're happy, not when the scaffold comes down.

Never

On the doorstep. We don't knock after storms, and nobody genuine does. If someone "just noticed your ridge from the road" and can start today for cash, close the door and call a roofer you can check.

This box is the point of the whole page. The firms that burned people can't publish one of these and stand behind it. We can, so we do.

05 / Get a quote

A photo and a postcode.

A phone photo from the ground tells us most of what we need. Never climb up for us. The postcode matters too: we work Leicester and the county, and it saves us both a visit that was never going to work.

That's the flow. On the live site this lands in the firm's inbox with the photos attached, and the postcode filters the far-away enquiries before anyone drives anywhere. This page is a concept, so nothing was sent and your photos never left your device.
06 / Word of mouth

What Leicester says.

"The ridge came off in the January storm and two firms knocked before Ridgeway answered the phone. They sent a photo report the same week and the insurer paid without sending anyone out."
Margaret D · Wigston · the February re-roof above
"Three roofers quoted. Ridgeway were the only ones who put the deposit terms in writing without being asked. That decided it before the price did."
Paul & Simone K · Syston
"I found them by checking the TrustMark register first, which tells you what kind of customer I am. Every date on their website checked out when I asked."
Ade O · Leicester

Example reviews with invented names, marked as such because this page is a concept. A live build pulls real reviews from the firm's Google profile.
