How we work

Everything you need to get the roof sorted, with nothing hidden.

Holmlea Roofing is run by Jack Peters, who has spent 12 years on the roofs of Hertfordshire and still quotes every job himself.

  1. Tell us what the roof is doing

    Fill in the short form or ring us. A photo from the ground is plenty to go on.

  2. A proper look and a broken-down price

    Jack comes out, gets up and inspects it, then gives you the price in writing.

  3. Scaffold, roof, clear up

    The job runs to the programme you were given, and the guarantee comes in writing when it signs off.

One written price that does not move

Itemised so you can see where every pound goes. If something hidden turns up, it is photographed and agreed first.

15 year guarantee in writing, not a handshake

Handed over when the job signs off, with what it covers explained at the quote.

Photos of everything we find and fix

Before, during and after, so you are never taking our word for what is up there.

Scaffold and clear-up included in the price

We arrange the access and take the old roof away. You get a tidy site and a better roof.

Sandra MarshGoogle review

After months of waiting for a local roofer to come and investigate a roof issue I finally gave up and contacted Holmlea Roofing - the best thing I ever did!! Jack promptly arrived the next day, identified what was causing the leak and provided a written quote, carefully explaining what was required. He arranged to make the repair, liaising with my tenant. In the event, once tiles were removed, we found that new felt and battens were required for the whole roof Jack showed me drone photos so that I could understand the extent of damage and gave me repair options either using existing tiles, less expensive, or new roof tiles. The communication was excellent and Jack was very professional and the job was well priced. Everything was clearly explained and site left tidy at the end of the job. We were very pleased with the whole process and would definitely recommend Holmlea and use them again Great job Jack and team - thank you!!

I found this company on Facebook and made the appointment really easily and quickly. No messing around. I had quick and informative communication and Jack arrived, as promised. I showed him where my leak was and he then sent a drone up to check out my roof. He found the problem quickly which we couldn’t see from the ground and showed me. He fixed it there and then! All I needed was a tile adjustment. No big job or fee at all. Wow. How impressed was I? You dread companies will dupe you into a large unnecessary job with a big bill as you’re at their mercy. But Jack was so kind and courteous. Thank you so much for your help. Crossed fingers all is sorted and I will definitely use this company, and hopefully Jack personally, again.

They were responsive and pleasant and set a quick appointment for an inspection. After I decided to go with them they scheduled the job quickly and came when they said and did a good and thorough job. I am very satisfied with their service, the work, and the overall experience. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

FAQ

Good questions, answered.

Anything else, just ask. Jack answers the phone himself.

How quickly can you come and look at my roof?

Get in touch and we will arrange an inspection quickly, usually within a few days and sooner for an active leak. One of our TrustATrader reviews describes us on site for an urgent tile repair the very next day. The inspection and the written quote are free and there is no obligation.

Can the price change once you have started?

No. The price in the written quote is the price you pay. If the scaffold goes up and we find something genuinely hidden, we photograph it, show you and agree any extra with you before anything else is done. Our reviews make a point of it: Jack sticks to the original price with no hidden fees.

Do I need a new roof, or will a repair do?

Often a repair is all it needs and we will tell you honestly which it is. Jack inspects the whole roof, not just the bit that is leaking, and flags anything else he spots while he is up there so it can be dealt with in one visit rather than becoming a second job.

What does the 15 year guarantee cover?

Every job carries a 15 year guarantee and you get it in writing when the work signs off, not as a verbal promise. Jack talks you through exactly what it covers at the quote stage, so it is clear before you commit to anything.

What kinds of roofs do you work on?

Pitched roofs in clay tile, concrete tile and natural slate, full re-roofs and strip-and-recovers, flat roofs in EPDM, GRP and felt, chimneys, ridges, valleys and leadwork, Velux roof windows, and the fascias, soffits and guttering that go with them. Single slipped tiles through to whole new roofs.

Do you arrange the scaffolding?

Yes. Where a job needs scaffold we arrange it and it is priced into the written quote, so there is nothing to organise on your side and no separate bill.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in St Albans and work across Hertfordshire: Hatfield, Harpenden, Welwyn Garden City, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, Bushey, Radlett, Borehamwood, Potters Bar and the villages in between. See the areas page for the full list, or put your postcode in the checker.

Are you insured?

Yes, Holmlea Roofing & Property Maintenance Ltd is a registered limited company (company number 16268363) and carries public liability insurance. We are happy to show the certificate when we quote.
