Reviews

3.1

Several reviewers report concerns about W R Leivers drivers on the road, including aggressive driving, cutting people up and overtaking at speed on a blind corner. One reviewer says workers threw slates off scaffolding, swore loudly and left cigarette butts around a residential area. Others report roof and gutter problems after work was done, including leaks, drips, slipping slates and parts falling off, and several say calls and emails about putting things right went unanswered. One reviewer says a quote was doubled after it was given, and others describe long waits, missed appointments and poor communication. On the positive side, one reviewer was pleased with a fixed leaking gutter, and others praised Jake and Roy for tidy, professional work and a clean finish.

Pull out onto the round abouts when they feel like it, causing people to slam on? Not very clever, & some shocking driving. Wouldn’t trust cowboys with my roof.

Possibly one of the worst roofers i've had the misfortune to watch. Throwing slates of top scaffold. Swearing at the top of theirs voices over blaring radiater in residential area. Smoking and flicking butts all over the place.

A driver from WR Leivers was acting aggressively while driving, cutting people off intentionally and yelling verbal abuse at other drivers on the road. This incident has been recorded on dash camera and is being reported. I assume their roofing is of similar quality to their driving 1 star.

With your contact details all over your van, I suggest you drive within the speed limit and with some degree of caution on country roads. You almost forced me into a hedge, over taking at speed, on a blind corner and if any one (horse/car/walker) had been coming the other way the results would have been awful.

Disastrous choice. Update: still no reply or contact from Leivers a year on. They really don’t care. Original review - 4 months ago, I gave the work on my flat roof 5 stars. I should have waited until it rained! Sure, when the leak appeared though the toilet roof they came and looked at it and put some more felt etc. down. However, ever since Leivers did the work, I have had a drips under the soffits, wetting me every time I left the house and , after the recent wet weather, the inside wall is now soaked through and causing pools of water on the inner porch floor. I've e-mailed to ask them to fix it. Not so much as an acknowledgement over 6 weeks. The roof wasn't leaking when I had it redone - I wish I hadn't bothered now. Come on Leivers - do the decent thing and fix this please - I have been patient.
