Warranty claim dealt with quickly and efficiently.
One of the glass units had misted up on our pyramid roof lantern - our warranty claim was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Delivery of a replacement unit was organised and confirmed within a day of submitting our warranty claim.
Very happy with the level of customer service.

At the time when we placed the order he give us very good service and promised us any issue at any time we will respond with in 24 hours. Our electrician called Roof Maker and they took all the details and OMG the service was excellent. With in 2 hours Roof maker responded and sorted the issue. Can't fault ROOF MAKER SERVICE AT ALL. In fact if any one wants to come and see the work you are most well come and ask roof maker for my contact.

Great service recovery!
The 1M pyramid skylight arrives with a small scratch. There was no quibble about correcting the fault. The company took the order back and it was re-delivered within a week.
It looks terrific and I would thoroughly recommend this Co.

Inflexible customer service
Great product - but disappointed by the inflexibility through the customer team. We asked to change the colour of the blinds within a week of placing our order and there was no effort to help or understand our position. A 'computer says no' attitude from staff which doesn't match the expensive, high quality product you are investing in.

Dear Sophie,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re so pleased to hear that you love the product, but we’re truly sorry that your experience with our team didn’t meet your expectations.
We completely understand how frustrating it can be when a requested change can’t be accommodated. As a bespoke manufacturer, we begin production shortly after an order is placed, and while we always do our best to make adjustments where possible, however, changes outside the 24-hour grace period can be difficult to accommodate as we don’t hold stock and work to order. We understand that the team explored a few options with yourself to accommodate the change but as these included an additional cost, you decided to stay with the original order.
That said, we never want a customer to feel unheard, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. If there’s anything we can do to help moving forward, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards

Technical support
The advice, guidance and support given by Roof Maker really are outstanding. Their products are great but, in my case, I had issues because my builder didn’t install correctly. Nonetheless, Roof Maker stepped in and sorted out my issues swiftly - and their technician (Brett) was outstanding: helpful, tidy and efficient. Wish I could give a higher marking than five stars !

Good product
One of the better products on the market. Miles better than the go to roof light companies.
Price is ok. Yes it's a lot more than off the shelf solutions but you do pay for what you get.
Instructions were a little out of date / not clear however the team were responsive and advised that they were being updated.

Latter today customer contacted me arranged a refund for which I am most gratefull
My biggest issue has been around the blackout blind, that I discovered after purchase was not integral with the rooflight and supplied by a third party. I discovered, with further information that the blind reduces the window size and messes up the alignment of the roof light with other elements in the room, I was told I could cancel the blind and get 50% back. When the blind arrived, sometime after the window, I was disappointed with the quality given that it was significantly more than similar on line. A gentleman phoned and kindly offered to give me the blind free- I feel if used it I should be paid for. Last week I removed the cardboard protection in order to install the blind, and it did not work. Sales sent me installation and sync details, it does not work. The remote works, the driver gets power it appears the blind doesn't, I don't want to dismantle to check the mechanism and invalidate my claim. I have sent emails and left messages but customer services does not respond. The sales assistant Sarah does her best.
It is delaying the job, I have no choice but to order a similar blind from an alternate source. Perhaps the gentleman who called before might call again to discuss refunding me

Guarantee Issues which ultimately did get resolved.
I have two roof lanterns fitted however at least half of the glazing had failed (with condensation as previous purchasers have also discovered) they were replaced by roof maker less than a year ago…,,
However this year one of the pains suddenly shattered for no apparent reason.. I contacted roof maker and they said I could have broken it ? So they would not replace.
I explained I had not broken it and that they should come and see for themselves that that was the case..
I heard nothing back for a while but eventually they sent a large bill for the replacement.
I had an independent inspection and also by the “furnishings and Home improvement Ombudsman.
The agent (un officially) laughed as he said there was no physical way I could have damaged it as it was the CENTRE pain of a TRIPLE glazed unit that had failed and that it was most likely a manufacturing fault..
I contacted roof maker a week ago and they had not responded (again) so I emailed them today to say it clearly wasn’t anything to do with me and that it needs to be replaced at their cost as it is still under warranty.
Their response (as if they are doing me a favour?) on this occasion, will give you the glass but fit it yourself..
“Broken glass isn’t covered”
well it has been proved I could not possibly break a piece of glass sandwiched between two (unbroken pains) and that it is a manufacturing fault so it should be covered under the warranty.
This is not acceptable and I will be pursuing the matter all the way and legally if I have to. I did warn them I would be writing it up regardless on trust pilot to give them a chance to do the right thing….
I will continue this review as I hear more from roof maker and let you all know the conclusion..
09/12/24
An Update…..
I was contacted directly by the CEO regarding my experience who I must admit was very apologetic and wanted to resolve the issue to my satisfaction.. He had only been in the position a few months and was keen to move forward from perhaps more questionable management prior…
This is all good news and after speaking with Emma, the pain was promptly replaced and is now satisfactory..
Due to the multiple issues I have had over the years with my roof lanterns, naturally I am concerned moving forward with any future potential issues however I have been told that the previous (known issues) have been resolved with new manufacturing processes and if I have any further issues, I am to contact them at the highest level for resolution. This is most welcome..
I must also add that when the pain was removed, the Roofmaker fitters could clearly see it was caused by thermal expansion as the edges of the centre pain were protruding beyond the inner and outer pain thermal seal which is what the ombudsman had also derived.
Regarding the “star” rating I have amended it from 1 to 3. I believe it is only fair to the public who read these reviews to know the full story. The unfortunate truth is that as I have written about earlier, I was sidelined for months and it was purely due to my review here and my own independent inspection that things changed..
I honestly did not want to put this experience in to print however I gave Roofmaker an opportunity to resolve this to my satisfaction as I was going to write a review regardless and it’s direction would be weighted by their response / resolution…
As you now know it has been resolved to my satisfaction and I am of course grateful but you can see the back story and it should never have come to this. I appreciate the CEO is new and I must stress he was most helpful. I hope moving forward that customers genuine issues are given the credibility they deserve..
Again thank you
06/03/25
Unfortunately a further issue
I contacted Emma Mackay a week or so ago due to a further issue with some of my glazing units and she got back to me straightaway. I’m pleased to say that she got right on to the issue and had a team of engineers come out and replace the faulty units very quickly. I was exceptionally pleased with the result and more importantly the commitment from Roofmaker to do the right thing (thank you CEO Kishan Bhogaita) for being true to your word to me and steering your company towards excellent customer service.
Consequently I have yet again update the score upwards for the business (4*) Again thank you !

ORIGINAL RESPONSE:
Dear Anil,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
As discussed in detail during your conversation with our Managing Director, the nature of glass means that spontaneous breakages can occur due to a variety of factors outside of anyone’s control, including thermal stress, environmental conditions, and handling during or after installation. While these occurrences are rare, they can happen, and we are committed to addressing such issues in a fair and professional manner.
Please be assured that Roof Maker is a professional business with a strong track record, having been in operation since 2001. We fully stand behind our products and warranties, and we take our commitment to customer satisfaction very seriously. Following your discussions with us, we are pleased to have agreed on a resolution to address the outstanding issue in December. This reflects our ongoing effort to work closely with all our customers to ensure they can fully enjoy the benefits of our high-quality products.
Since the business was repurchased last year by its original founders, we have implemented processes aimed at providing the best possible service and support to our customers. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us continue to improve, and we hope the agreed resolution meets your expectations.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help and ensure this matter is resolved to your satisfaction.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work towards a conclusion.
