Gary - a great roofer
Sophie Todaro
04/01/2012 		When we moved in 6 years ago it was Gary who came back with the best quote and renewed our entire roof for us. Since then we have had no troubles with it except the odd wear and tear job which he always fixes quickly, smoothly and at the shortest notice. I would recommend Gary to any of my friends and therefore anyone in the surrounding area. Also, my kids love "Gary the Roofer" ever since he hooked them up the ladder to look over out onto the roof. Beyond the call of duty!

Our house has a large porch with Victorian slates laid out in a diamond patten. Sadly the old slates were either cracked or rotten. Gary suggested a way of replicating the old design, which required cutting and shaping the new slates. A great job. Gary and his team know what they are about.

17/11/2011 		Had a leaking roof. Gary came round in no time at all and instead (like a lot of others do) of selling me the most expensive job, he took some time over alternatives and recommended something that did the job. He then did the job within days and was happy not to be paid a very competitive price until it had rained again to ensure everything was ok. Couldn't ask for more. Top bloke. Good luck mate.

04/11/2011 		I phoned Gary one morning, he said that he would come to assess the repairs to my roof mid afternoon. He arrived as promised, assessed the job and said that as it was relatively small they would do the repairs there and then. They were quick and efficient and did a good job and their charge was very reseaonable. This is what I call good service and it was with a smile. I happily recommend Gary to one and all.

18/09/2011 		I phone Gary in the morning about water leaking into a bedroom. He came round later that day and solved the problem there and then. He was friendly, honest, straightforward and determined to solve the problem for me before he left. Would recommend him without hesitation

25/07/2011 		I had a leaking roof and Gary responded immediately. With no tutting and none of the usual sharp intakes of breath, he rectified the problem quickly and at a very reasonable price. A professional with integrity, I have no hesitation in recommending Gary.

15/06/2011 		Gary came within an hour of my call to fix an aerial that was hanging off the chimney. He took a couple of hours but only charged me a very reasonable price. He checked out the roof while he was up there, in need of a bit of tlc, so will be having him back.

09/05/2011 		Over the past few years Gary, and team, have sorted out problems with my roof (and the neighbours) and has turned his hand to a number of other house / garden related issues - Is always reliable, reasonably priced and easy to work with. Would and have recommended to others.

A good job
James Phipps
27/10/2010 		Gary has sorted a number of different roofing problems for me over the last year or so, the last just a week ago. He arrives when he says he will, is friendly and cheerful, taking time to understand your issue and then assess it. He charges what I think is a reasonable price and offers general advice for the future. He's fixed a number of broken tiles, re-grouted sections, replaced a caping stone, added a cowl to stop rain entering on my chimney and fixed a leaky section of lead.

I would highly recommend Gary for any roofing work you may have.

I was desperate when a roof tile broke
Gillian Turner
11/09/2010

Gary is a marvel. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone clamber so agilely or skilfully over a roof as he did when he went up to investigate a broken tile on mine. He came highly recommended by a neighbour, for whom he had fixed a leaky roof, and when I met him, and talked over my problem, I felt instinctively that I could trust him. I had been worried about the roof for some time but he replaced several tiles and told me that, generally, it was in good repair and to let no one tell me otherwise. He also helped me out with a leaky car port roof and I was astonished at how reasonable his charges were. He and his mate Joe were quick, efficient and friendly and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Saved me life!
Anne-Laure Ropars
17/05/2010 		Last Summer there was a storm and my flat roof started leaking like there were several open taps in my office. I found a series of roofers recommended in the W4 forum and went down the list, calling each of them. They were all busy given the turbulent weather, but Gary was the only one who was kind enough to come within 2 hours to my call to do a quick fix so I could withstand the storm with a dry house inside. He then quickly came to fix my roof, which has been in a perfect state since. The bill was reasonable and he was very clean and kind when he worked in the house. My experience with Gary was that of a very considerate, competent, and honest professional.

A chance meeting
Aron Cool
04/05/2010 		I met Gary as a result of hearing him repair a neighbors flat roof (due to the gas torch) I happened to pass him in his truck and asked for a quote for a repair to a bay window roof.  Gary gave me the quote on the spot and then suggested that I checked out his references on this web site.  Gary turned up as agreed, completed the work in the time estimated, cleared the waste generated, charged a reasonable price, and most important of all was very pleasant to deal with ensuring I was happy through out the process. Many thanks Gary.

16/02/2010 		Recently Gary returned to our flats to clear and repair the guttering and refix roofing slates over the garage area - he did a sterling job.  We first employed Gary in 2006 to renew a flat roof for one of the flats.  His service is always prompt and carried out with the minimum of fuss. We would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Thinks outside the box
Nick Sherrard
18/12/2009 		Gary correctly spotted that my urgent roofing problem was actually due to a piece of daft plumbing and not actually a difficulty with the roof. Not only that but he was able to provide a plumber to fix it for me in double quick time. Happily for him, my other roofing difficulties really are roof-based - watch this space ...

13/11/2009 		I would highly recommend Gary for any roofing work.
He answered my call promptly and called round the same day to see what work was required; he gave me a quote and explained what repairs he would carry out. We arranged a date when he and his workmen would carry out the repairs and this was carried out as promised.
I paid Gary half the balance on the day and the rest about a week later once I was satisfied the repair work had been successful. i.e after we had had some heavy rain!
Gary's approach to his work is very professional - I would not hesitate in recommending him to my friends if they ever required roofing work.

27/08/2009 		I used Gary to fix a leak round a chimney stack. This involved raking out the old mortar joint and installing lead flashing. He provided a written estimate and finished the job very speedily, clearing up as he went. Job well done, highly recommended.

17/08/2009 		I used Gary to fix a problem with guttering and some roof bricks that had become loose.  He returned my call promptly (which is more than can be said for another roofer on this site who has very high feedback scores), fixed up a time to round, and turned up near enough on time.  He told me how much it would be up front, and did the job in the time he estimated, and at a very reasonable price in my view.  I would very happily use him again.

Excellent Work
Charles Archer
17/08/2009 		Gary replaced a fallen roof tile on our house in Barnes, I rang on the sunday and he came on the monday at a time convenient to us (18.30). The work was excellent and well within budget. Many other roofing contractors have a minimum callout charge of £140 which we thought was daylight robbery and I feel sorry for anyone who accepts that as a first quote; Gary charged £30 which is what I would expect to pay for a replacement tile.
Overall excellent, I would definately recommend and will use again if the occasion arises.

Patricia Driscoll
03/06/2009 		I phoned Gary on Friday and he turned up 15 minutes later and repaired the drainpipe at the front of the house and did some pointing on the front wall. He agreed to come back to complete work needed at the back of the property the following Wednesday. He fitted in with me since I needed to book time off work. Gary turned up on time with another roofer and they and completed the work quickly and professionally and gave advice on other possible roofing problems. I would not hesitate to recommend Gary to anyone wanting roofing and guttering work. My experience with contractors has not been good and this was a welcome change.

Exceeds expectations
Kirsty Clay
17/05/2009 		I had two roof tiles that had fallen off. Gary came the next morning, when he said he would, replaced them, took away the old ones and gave me reassurance about the overall roof quality. Was there half an hour and charge was very reasonable. I would recommend him and use him again without question.

In searching for someone to carry out urgent repairs to the roof of my mother's house, I wanted an accurate quote of the work to be done and its cost; trustworthy reliable workmen, who would complete the work as soon as possible to a high standard. Gary Wicker was recommended and he and his men have fulfilled my expectations and surpassed the recommendation. They were hard working, caring and helpful to my elderly mother and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a job well done. I and other family members will be using Gary again.
