R.L.Lovatt Limited is repeatedly described as professional and easy to deal with across roofing jobs, Velux window replacements, solar panel installations and repairs; reviewers often single out office staff, including Lucy, for keeping them informed, and roofers including Lawrence, Shaun and Craig for their work. One reviewer said a re-roof and solar installation left them with no issues into winter, and another reported that leaks had stopped after chimney lead work. A reviewer reported that damage was caused to their satellite dish and to next door's property, and another said a bonding gutter was put on their roof without permission and that a manager spoke to them in a way they found poor. One reviewer was told there would be a £180 plus VAT charge to quote, and another complained about rude drivers. Several reviewers mention being warned of wait times before work began, which they accepted.

Last week Lovatts replaced two very old Velux roof windows with new ones. Also had some guttering, lead flashings and a new roof covering to the shed. They had come highly recommended to me. From the first impressions from Stuart's visit to assess the work and quote, we were very impressed. We had to wait for the Velux roof windows to be made etc., and the communication from the office staff was great. I had verbal contact with a few of them, including Lucy, Nathan and Lynn, who were all very helpful. On the day, Shaun and Brandon (new apprentice) worked really hard in a professional capacity. Nothing was too much trouble when I asked Shaun for advice about the Velux roof windows etc., and Brandon was very courteous and pleasant, as we were aware that he was there to learn his trade. We are very pleased with the work done and would not hesitate to recommend Lovatts for any Velux roof window fitting/roofing. Thank you!

My partner used lovatts roofing company to replace skylights with velux windows in her roof. I found that after searching a lot of companies, that this company had an excellent reputation and asked for a quote They were efficient and professional from the outset. Their price and conditions of work were thorough and well set out. Within a few weeks of engaging with them the windows were ordered and a date set to install. The team communicated regularly to let me know where things were at , as the initial date clashed with heavy rain. A week later they came and removed the old windows and installed 3 velux windows exact size of the old skylights. A very experienced roof called Lawrence and his new apprentice worked for 2 days to complete the work. They were both hard working courteous and professional a credit to the company. They didn't make a mess and they took everything away so I didn't need to do anything. I was really impressed. My partner Collette does not use google but we both want to thank the company for all they did. We both would recommend them to anyone who is seeking work in relation to their roof repairs or other work. Their website is good they have lots of experience and accreditations. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for this work as they have done a great job We both agree that they deserve more than 5 out of 5 stars Collette &Tony 2/10/2026

In my 20 years of home ownership, this is the first review I've felt that I needed to leave for any trades business. We had a full re-roof with Integrated Solar Panels and Battery. From the initial appointment with Lewis to survey the roof and listen to me waffle on about my (admittedly picky) solar panel and battery requirements, through to the installation with Andy and the team, and the office staff over email - Lovatt's have been exceptional. I genuinely couldn't be happier with the service provided - especially after some extremely poor experiences with tradesman in the past. I'd recommend them to anyone. They're a perfect example of a great business providing a great service for a great price.
