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.
I hope your roofing is better than your driving! Cutting people up on the road with your company name and number on your transit van! Not very bright.
Reluctant to give even 1 star to this company ! DO NOT USE THEM their work is totally unacceptable from leaks to parts falling off just on the process of contacting trading standards !!!
Done my mums roof which is now leaking into her bedroom. Not used the right materials to go under the tiles. Scaffolding still up a month after they completed the job. Not returning calls. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A SHAM
Please steer clear of this company.
Fixed my leaking gutter, even though it was only a small job. Excellent friendly service.
I had a quote from this company in January of this year to sort a leak. I immediately called to say I wanted to go ahead and was told to send an email to Nathan. I waited 4 days before calling again to follow up to be told our job had been booked in (would have been nice for someone to tell me) and that I would be contacted in 2.5 weeks to be given a date for them to come out to do the job. I waited 3 or 4 weeks without hearing from then and decided to call to follow up to be told that my paperwork would be printed out and left for Nathan to call me back. All now I'm waiting for this call back! I found another company and got the job done within a week. Absolutely terrible customer service from this company. Not a single courtesy call from them. I won't be recommending them to anyone!
Roy and jake were at my property for two and half days and it was a pleasure to have them working on my property. Their work ethic was first class and they were very professional. The flat roof work was completed to a standard the exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Nathan and his team to undertake roofing work.
They did a fantastic job of roofing our single story flat roof extention over 2 days. Reason for the 5 star is it has been burning hot, so too hot for working the tar into the roof. Thier solution was to start at 4am on day 2 when the temperature is a bit cooler and they can do the roof. Completely above and beyond the call of duty! Great job lads. Well done and thank you.
We needed our 4 Dorma roofs refelted as they were due to be replaced. I got three visits and three quotes all around the same price, however of all the quotes WR Leivers Roofing LTD responding with a fully itemised quote via the post. This was one of the main reasons I chose them. A verbal quote or rushed quote on a scrap piece of paper did not give me confidence in the job they would do. On Monday 23rd Jake and Roy turned up at 8:30 am and went straight to work. They were very proficient working well together to first strip then refelt the roofs. I asked for after photos which were supplied. I was very happy with the end result. It took them one full day to complete. Both Jake and Roy also cleaned up after themselves leaving no mess behind. They came back a few days later as I needed a flue removed from the tiled roof. This did cost extra but they were happy to do it for me. I would happily recommend WR Leivers Roofing Company as well as Jake & Roy to do any roof related jobs.
Fantastic service from start to finish. The fitters were brilliant and very professional. I would highly recommend using this company.
This is a great Company! I rang for a quote to repair my damaged roof and spoke to Nathan who was very helpful! I sent over an image of the roof and the guys turned up the next day and were polite and courteous they fixed the roof with no fuss and I was surprised as it was a difficult job due to 3 story high, very impressed and a great price!
I called Leivers after a recommendation from a friend. Nathan came out too see us and clearly knew what he was talking about. I also felt he was advising me , not trying too sell too me. Myself and my wife felt confident to give his firm the job of re-roofing a rental house for us. His workmen turned up on time , did the job agreed for the price agreed and left without any mess. Just the job !! Thanks again Nathan.
New flat roof installation, thanks to Jake and Roy the roof was finished in 1 day, they worked tirelessly all day. Left everything clean afterwards and the new roof looks fantastic.
I had WR Leivers out to completed a repair on my roof in January 2022. The quote provided was extremely reasonable and detailed all the works that needed carrying out. Nathan consulted with me and recommended two options. Once I had decided which option I wanted to go for, the workers came out and completed the job. I am really pleased with the works that have been completed on my property, and would recommend for anyone needing roof repairs. Thankyou WR Leivers!
Got in touch with these guys for a quote for new ridge tiles and replacement fascia and they were brilliant from quote to installation. Everyone i met was helpful, polite and professional. Really happy with the work they’ve carried out for us. Would definitely recommend
A very professional company and their work is outstanding. They are also very helpful. I knew that I was in safe hands and they didn't let me down.
Superb job, excellent workmanship world highly recommend
Lovely little vaulted ceiling conversion carried out in 7 days by us at w r leivers room was really dark so had one of the biggest skylights velux provide installed peelings were left open and cloaked please call for all your roofing and building needs
New fascia and gutter. very high standard of work carried out as you can see.
Roof was repaired. Initially looked ok, but 8 months later all the fixed slates slipped or fell off. Subsequent phone calls and e mails ignored. Very poor customer service.
Guttering at front of the house was fitted in a satisfactory manner. At the back, an elbow joint was fitted upside down, which leaked copiously, and overspill in heavy showers fell on to a flat roofed alcove. The joint was rectified but it also appears that the guttering is not level and requires a support bracket at the point where the overspill happens. The company blamed this on accumulated muck from the roof but we had it cleaned out and it overflowed just as it had before. Multiple emails and telephone calls have been ignored by the man responsible. Never again!
We made 7 phone calls to them , 4 dates they failed to show up , nice receptionist sadly not a clue what was going on , no calls at all to us to say they could not make it , totally and utterly unprofessional. They quoted for the work on November 7th 2019.We try desperately to give local businesses any revenue we can , even 7 times. Do not use this company
Don't use, poor communication, workmen turn up when they want and un-announced. Leivers work may seem good quality at first but soon as weather changes you'll have leaks and they'll ignore your calls and do everything they can to avoid correcting the faults despite having being paid. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere, theres many reasons Leivers google rating is so low, if you use them you'll find out why.
Don't use anyone else but these guys. We direct all our customers to Leivers.
Top Mark's for repairs on our roof
What a dreadful company Quoted for a job then they said they had misquoted and doubled the quote Then they were too busy to do it anyway WHAT A WASTE OF TIME DONT USE THEM EVER
Would not use again, took months to do a simple job and my phone calls were never returned, no customer service at all. When I called to ask when job would be done no one had a clue and said would call me back which never happened. Very frustrating.
