About JB Roofing Specialists Ltd A professional 1000-word business profile (expandable to 2000 words if needed) JB Roofing Specialists Ltd is a leading roofing company based in Ross-on-Wye, proudly serving Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, and the wider South West. Over the years, the company has built a reputation for exceptional workmanship, honest communication, and a dependable service that puts quality and customer satisfaction above everything else. What sets us apart is not only our technical expertise across every form of roofing — from flat roofing systems and slate replacements to complex liquid overcoats — but also our genuine commitment to raising the standards of the roofing industry. We believe that every project, no matter the size, deserves the same level of care, attention, and professional integrity. Founded by Jamie Baldwin, JB Roofing Specialists began as a small, hardworking local business and quickly grew through word-of-mouth recommendations, contractor partnerships, and consistent delivery on challenging projects. Jamie’s hands-on approach, deep roofing knowledge, and insistence on doing things correctly — with no shortcuts and no compromises — are the backbone of our company culture. His belief that “a roof is only as good as the effort put into it” has shaped how every member of the team operates today. In an industry where rushed jobs and cost-cutting are all too common, JB Roofing Specialists is known for doing the job properly, safely, and sustainably. What Sets Us Apart 1. A Reputation Built on Skill, Honesty & Transparency Clients repeatedly choose us because they know exactly what they’re getting: a company that communicates clearly, provides honest assessments, and delivers long-lasting roofing solutions. We carefully explain every recommendation, every cost, and every design choice so homeowners and contractors always understand the “why” behind the work. No hidden fees, no unclear jargon — just straightforward, trustworthy roofing expertise. 2. Expertise Across Multiple Roofing Systems Unlike many small roofing companies that specialise in one area, JB Roofing Specialists offers a full suite of roofing services, including: Pitched roofing – Spanish slate, fibre cement slate, concrete tiles, Redland systems, and complete re-roof packages. Flat roofing – advanced EPDM rubber systems, warm deck installations, cold deck installations, and liquid-applied membranes such as PMMA. Lead work – chimneys, valleys, abutments, dormers, cover flashings, and traditional lead detailing. Roof inspections & diagnostics – professional reports, leak investigations, drone surveys, and insurance-grade assessments. Commercial roofing – overcoat systems for warehouses and industrial buildings, rooflight installations, and contractor partnerships. This broad expertise means we can advise clients on the best solution for their roof — not just the one we happen to specialise in. 3. Strong Partnerships With Construction Companies JB Roofing Specialists is trusted by multiple construction firms and contractors across the region. We are regularly invited to tender on new-build sites, extensions, and commercial refurbishment projects because of our reliability, speed of turnaround, and the high standards we maintain. Building strong relationships with businesses is a major part of who we are — we understand that contractors need roofing teams who turn up when they say they will, complete the work correctly, and communicate clearly throughout. 4. Quality Control That Goes Beyond Industry Standard Everything we install is done according to manufacturer guidelines and British roofing regulations. We use premium materials, keep our staff trained on the latest systems, and ensure all roofing solutions are fitted to last. Our work includes: Fully breathable felt membranes Treated battens to regulation spacing Proper ventilation, eave support trays, and ridge systems First-grade slate or high-quality tile options Leadwork installed using correct codes and fixings We don’t cut corners — which is why our roofs outperform many others in longevity and reliability. 5. Customer Education & Honest Recommendations One of the biggest complaints homeowners have about roofing is that they feel in the dark. We solve this by sending detailed reports, roof photos, and clear explanations of what’s wrong and how to fix it. We help clients understand the difference between temporary repairs and long-term solutions so they can make informed decisions based on budget and necessity. Our goal is for clients to feel confident — never confused or pressured. 6. A Local Company With Real Community Values As a local, family-run business, we value reputation, word of mouth, and community trust. We treat every property as if it were our own and every client with fairness and respect. The majority of our work comes from previous clients recommending us to their friends, neighbours, or colleagues — one of the biggest compliments a roofing company can receive. The Story of Our Founder: Jamie Baldwin Jamie began his roofing journey at a young age, learning the trade hands-on and quickly developing a passion for doing things properly. He saw early on that the roofing industry is full of companies rushing through jobs, using incorrect materials, or cutting corners that lead to long-term problems. Determined to offer something better, he created JB Roofing Specialists with the goal of building a company where quality, honesty, and professionalism always came first. Jamie is incredibly hands-on with clients, personally overseeing complex projects, carrying out inspections, and ensuring every quote is accurate and fair. His attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and willingness to take on challenges — even those other roofers avoid — are major reasons the business has grown so quickly. Whether working on residential re-roofs, industrial units, or tendering for large developments, Jamie’s approach remains consistent: do the job properly, keep clients informed, and stand behind the work. A fun fact: Jamie has worked on everything from small cottages to heritage buildings, modern extensions, large farms, and commercial units. He’s known for spotting issues that other roofers miss — especially complex leaks and ventilation failures. His roofing knowledge is now recognised not only by homeowners but also by contractors and property developers who rely on him for accurate assessments and professional guidance.
