Roofriendly

Roofriendly began in 2003 with fascia and soffit work for homeowners in Lincolnshire. The family company founded by Clifford Jones and Andy and Vicky Parr has since expanded into double-glazed windows, doors, and conservatories; its current range also includes GRP flat roofs, cladding, solar panels, batteries, and air-source heat pumps. It makes more sense to think of Roofriendly as a home-improvement installer than as a window-only contractor.

Renovations often involve coordinating products that affect different parts of a home. Roofriendly brings advice, measuring, and installation together for projects ranging from a window replacement to a new entrance, conservatory, or solar system. Its published case studies show work in Lincolnshire towns, and the company says it has completed more than 25,000 installations since opening and serves Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and nearby areas. Those figures and guarantees are company-reported; the terms for a specific project should be checked in the written quote.

The company says Certass-accredited installations include an insurance-backed 10-year guarantee. It also discloses that Roofriendly is a credit broker, not a lender, and may receive commission from a lender if a customer chooses financing; financing through the company is optional. When comparing proposals, ask for the quote to itemize the product, related building work, installation, and applicable coverage. Roofriendly offers a free home survey, according to its website, so homeowners can request a measurement visit before deciding on the project scope.
