L Evans Roofing in short
L Evans Roofing is a small Overdale firm built around Luke, who states eighteen years in the roofing trade with estate-agent contract work around Shrewsbury and Telford. Repairs, rubber roofing, chimneys and made-to-measure seamless guttering are its stated core, with free quotes and free inspections through the site form [1]. EPDM installer status is stated on the site rather than on a register [1].
The record shows an Overdale base in Telford working across Telford and Shrewsbury, with estate-agent contract work in both towns. Repairs and seamless guttering are the core, with rubber roofing and chimney work alongside, and the site form takes free inspection requests. No limited company record exists, so the firm trades on the name and history stated on its own site [2] [1].
Customers rate the firm at five stars on Google, but across only three reviews, which is too small a base to score [3]. This review therefore treats the rating as promising but unproven, and the stated trading history since 2008 as the stronger point here. With so few reviews, each one can be read in full rather than trusted as an average.
What counts against it: no insurance details are published. With so few reviews, the average alone says little about how bigger jobs go. This review rates the free-inspection offer and the specific history as the firm's best features.
Our verdict
Our verdict: L Evans suits you if you want a small Overdale firm for repairs or seamless aluminium guttering with a free inspection [1]. We rate the stated trading history since 2008 as a strength because it is specific.

Questions about L Evans Roofing
Is L Evans Roofing any good?
Good for small repairs and seamless guttering: fifth of our ten Telford roofers with five stars on Google, though across only three reviews. Eighteen years in the trade are stated with free inspections and estate-agent contract work. Read all three reviews in full, then ask for a free inspection of your job.
Is L Evans on a trade register?
EPDM installer status is stated on its own website, which is a claim rather than a register entry [1]. No other scheme membership could be sourced from the registers or the checked platforms. Ask what sits behind the installer claim when you request your free inspection, and get the answer in writing.
How much does L Evans charge?
Free quotes and free inspections are clearly offered, but no call-out fee, rates or VAT terms are published. Describe the job fully and agree the full price in writing before work starts. Ask for the figure to separate labour, materials and VAT, with the guttering lengths or the full repair scope itemised.
Where does L Evans work?
The firm works from Overdale in Telford across Telford and Shrewsbury, with estate-agent contract work in both towns. Repairs and seamless guttering are its core alongside rubber roofing and chimneys. The site form takes inspection requests. Send your postcode with the full job details to confirm you are covered before booking.
How is L Evans ranked?
It ranks fifth of the ten Telford roofers in our September round, the pick for Overdale repairs and seamless guttering. Heritage sits fourth just above on trade-body membership. Read the full review and the score summary, then ask for a free inspection and confirm the insurance position together in the same message.
How do I get a quote from L Evans Roofing?
Use the contact form on the firm's website to request a free inspection, describing the repair or guttering run and sending photos where you can. The inspection produces the quotation, so use the visit to agree materials, lengths and access. Get the final figure in writing with labour, materials and VAT separated before work starts.
What do customers say about L Evans Roofing?
Customers give the firm five stars on Google, but across only three reviews, which is too small a base to score. That makes each review worth reading in full rather than skimming as an average. Look for repair and guttering jobs like yours, and weigh the eighteen-year stated history alongside the thin file.
How does L Evans compare with the other Telford roofers?
It is the smallest outfit in the ranked ten and the only one built around seamless guttering with a free-inspection offer. Larger neighbours bring deeper review files and company records; none matches it for a small Overdale repair visit. In our judgement it is a small-job specialist whose record is promising but thin.
