Very happy that I went with J & L Welch roofing. I had a new roof installed, full guttering renewed and velux window installed. The quote was very reasonable and no hidden fees. I was very informed from start to finish about my project. Great bunch of lads from start to finish, worked really well and fast which I was very impressed with. Cleaned up after them selfs once they were finished and always on time. John is great he went above and beyond for us and could not thank him enough he did look after us, very professional, he made sure the job was done to a very high standard. I will be happy to come back to this company again for future projects. Thanks again!
The team at J & L Welch Roofing & Paving have been outstanding from start to finish. Before the job had even begun, they made our roof fully watertight, which gave us huge peace of mind & really showed their commitment to looking after their customers. The quality of their work throughout the main job was superb — completed to a really high standard and impressively quickly, even with the poor weather conditions. Their attention to detail and professionalism truly stood out.
Communication was excellent at every stage. The owner responded promptly to my queries & always offered clear, honest, & impartial advice. This made the whole process smooth, transparent, and stress-free.
It’s rare to find a company that goes above and beyond the way the team at J&L has. We’re extremely pleased with the results & would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality workmanship and exceptional service. The team looked after our property from start to finish! Highly Recommend!
We are absolutely delighted with the work that has been completed at our property. We have had a patio created, an old patio and path repaved, a retaining wall built and a new gate installed. John provided a competitive and thorough quote. He kept in touch about a start date (even starting early!) and the whole team are incredibly skilled. The care and attention that Connor and Jordan have shown in this work has ensured that the finished work is of the highest standard possible. They have been polite, timely, attentive and thorough in their work.
We could not be happier and would not hesitate to recommend them to absolutely everyone - our garden is now the best it has ever looked and we are very grateful.
We had to replace the whole roof of our church conversion. We are on a very windy site and the roof is vast. John and his team provided a very competitive quote for the work. Their excellent customer service, professionalism and pleasant manner made the choice of using them for our project easy. The team have been fantastic and this was done during covid. Due to some necessary ridge tiles not being available at the time, a lighter ridge tile was fitted as a temporary measure and unfortunately we suffered 3 near Hurricanes soon after. Some slates came off the roof because of the nature of the ridge tiles. JW roofing replaced all the tiles with the correct ones as soon as they were available and have made minor repairs quickly and efficiently. Our project was a very tricky one with multiple pitches and they handled the job extremely well. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Thank you so much for trusting us with your church conversion and for the thoughtful review. It was a complex project with multiple pitches on a very exposed site—and right through Covid—so your patience and collaboration made a huge difference.
When the exact ridge tiles were unavailable, we fitted the temporary lighter ridge to keep the project moving, and we’re grateful for your understanding during the unprecedented storms that followed. As soon as the correct tiles became available, our team replaced the ridge and dealt with the minor slate repairs promptly to ensure the roof performs as designed in high winds.
We’re thrilled you found our quote competitive and our team professional and pleasant throughout. It means a lot. If you ever need anything in future—inspections, maintenance, or advice—we’re only a call away.
We recently hired J&L Welch Roofing to renew the flat roof of our elderly courthouse building and install a new Spanish slate pitched roof. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for the character of the building were second to none.
The flat roof was replaced with a high-quality rubber system, which has already made a noticeable difference in insulation and weather protection. The new Spanish slate roof not only looks stunning but also fits beautifully with the traditional architecture of the courthouse.
The team arrived on time each day, kept the site tidy, and communicated clearly throughout the project. They showed great care in preserving the surrounding structure, and their craftsmanship has brought the building back to life.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend J&L Welch Roofing for any roofing work — especially on older or more sensitive properties. Outstanding job.

Start to finish a fantastic job. John came out very promptly to look at my chimney stack which needed re-rendering. During the quote process I distinctly got the feeling they would do a good job and look after what was needed rather than just doing the bare minimum. John was happy to work between myself and my adjoining neighbour too. The lads arrived on site - very experienced and did the job quickly and efficiently. Any adjustments on site were attended to well. Good communication too. Would def recommend 100%.

Good quality work from John and his team, I needed the roof replacing on my motorhome garage as the previous roofer had done a poor quality job extending it, so I was concerned about getting the right people this time. Johns terms of business, attention to detail and quality of workmanship cannot be faulted wouldn’t hesitate to recommend J&L Welch Roofing and Paving Services.
