Positive: Professionalism, Quality
KL Venning replaced a flat dorma roof for me recently. All staff are friendly, helpful and very professional. Communication was good and the quality of workmanship was excellent. I would highly recommend KL Venning and would definitely use them again.

I was impressed by Mark who assessed the problems, and obviously knew what he was talking about; he was sharp-eyed and didn't give me any hard sell. The guys worked a weekend to fix an urgent problem so we could go on holiday and later did a thorough, professional job with the minimum of fuss. Our neighbour commented "They are real gentlemen"!

Having seen the quality of work we were keen to use KL Venning for a full strip and recover. Following the quote which was higher than all the others we decided that as we had seen the quality of work we would go ahead. We chased for dates and were told March ish, then we chased again and were told summer time....following a 3rd chase, as KL never contacted us unprompted, we have now been told winter time...absolutely ridiculous and frankly offensive. If you don't want the job just say, that's fine we can crack on with someone else, we've lost months now. Would not recommend.

Just had my entire cottage roof replaced between the end of May and early August. I want to start by saying the quality and approach of the actual roofers is excellent. They are polite , friendly and their work is of a very high standard. The lads who come to work on your roof know what they are doing, as does Mark the manager.
The downside is more to do with the costing. I was initially quoted 12k to do the roof which I accepted, given K Venning the owner had been recommended to me by my father who knew him. I also asked for a lead tray to be fitted for 2.5 k as the chimney was leaking. That

We chose KL Venning Slaters to re-roof our old Pennine farm house because they demonstrated knowledge and passion about old buildings, and had the track record to suggest that they could do the job efficiently and effectively at a fair price. We were not disappointed! The roofing team were friendly, hard working and tidy and the end result looks great. Mark Elliott made an excellent project manager who understood our requirements instinctively and always made sure we were happy with proceedings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend KL Vennings to others.

We had a quote to take off all the slates and repair the roof of the Manor Arms, Broughton in Furness, a grade 2 listed building. We also needed repairs to one chimney stack and a replacement on the other stack.
Vennings sorted all the building regulations and conservation issues - a blessing!
The quote was very comprehensive and competitive.
We had a 'window' for the work to be done in October and this was fulfilled.
The roofers were very professional and just got on with the job.
We had a few problems but these were very soon resolved throughout the job. (One of the delights of a building
