We’re delighted to announce Rowley Roofing Services as the winner of Roofing Business of the Year at the My Local Awards 2026 Yorkshire.

This award celebrates businesses that combine skill, reliability and genuine customer care, and Rowley Roofing Services is a very deserving winner. As a family-run roofing business, they have built a strong reputation by focusing on what matters most: working hard, listening to customers and delivering a standard of service people can trust.

Although still a relatively young business, Rowley Roofing Services has already made a real impression in the local community. Founded in 2022, the company was born from the decision to take the leap from working in roofing to building something of their own. That kind of move takes confidence, commitment and a willingness to back your own standards, and it is clear that decision has paid off.

Built on hard work and a leap of faith

Starting any business takes courage, especially in a trade where reputation means everything. Rowley Roofing Services was founded in 2022 when the team felt ready to move from roofing work into running their own company. That step is always a big one. It means taking years of hands-on experience and turning it into a business people can rely on.

For a family-run business, that step often carries even more meaning. There is pride in putting your own name and standards behind the work, and there is also a real sense of responsibility to get things right. Customers are not just hiring a service. They are putting trust in the people behind it, often for major jobs that protect their home and give them peace of mind.

That is exactly why this award matters. It is recognition for a business that has clearly earned that trust in a short space of time and shown that hard work and consistency still go a long way.

A customer-first approach that makes a difference

One of the strongest things Rowley Roofing Services shared is how much importance they place on listening to customers and delivering exactly what is needed. In roofing, that matters enormously. People want honesty, clarity and confidence that the work will be done properly. They also want to feel heard.

Rowley Roofing Services sees this award as proof of the great relationship they have built with customers. That relationship comes from taking the time to understand what each customer wants and then making sure the finished job meets those expectations. It is a straightforward approach, but often that is what the best businesses do. They focus on doing the basics properly, every single time.

That kind of service leaves a lasting impression. When people feel listened to, looked after and reassured during a roofing project, they are far more likely to remember the experience for the right reasons and recommend the business to others. That is how strong local reputations are built.

Making customers feel they no longer have to worry

Perhaps the clearest insight into what drives Rowley Roofing Services comes from the customer story they shared. For them, the best feeling is leaving a job for the final time knowing the customer doesn’t have to worry anymore. That says a lot.

Roofing work is often tied to stress. Leaks, damage and major repairs can weigh heavily on homeowners, especially when the issue affects the safety, comfort or value of their property. A good roofing company does more than fix a problem. It removes that worry.

Rowley Roofing Services clearly understands that emotional side of the job. Seeing how grateful customers are when the work is complete is what makes it all worthwhile. That is a powerful reflection of the business. It shows that they are not simply focused on the technical result, but on the difference that result makes to the person living under that roof.

That mindset is one of the biggest reasons businesses like this stand out. Customers remember not only that the work was done well, but that they felt relief when it was finished and confidence in the people who carried it out.

Recognition that hard work is paying off

When Rowley Roofing Services found out they had won Roofing Business of the Year, the reaction was simple and honest: they were very happy. They also said that recognition makes a lot of hard work feel like it is paying off, and that is exactly what awards like this should do.

For many independent and family-run businesses, so much of the effort happens quietly in the background. Long days, physically demanding work and the constant pressure to maintain standards are often just part of normal life. Recognition from customers and the local community means a great deal because it shows that effort is being noticed.

This win is a sign that Rowley Roofing Services is doing something right. It reflects the care they put into each job, the trust they have built with customers and the consistency that is so important in a trade-based business.

A family-run business with strong local support

There is something special about family-run businesses. They often bring a level of pride, accountability and personal commitment that customers immediately recognise. Rowley Roofing Services is a great example of that.

The team made a point of thanking everyone who voted for them, saying these milestones keep them pushing on and that they are extremely grateful their hard work is being recognised within the community. That gratitude feels genuine, and it also underlines the strong connection they have already built locally.

Awards decided through public support always mean more because they reflect real experiences. In this case, it is clear that customers not only valued the work Rowley Roofing Services carried out, but wanted to actively show their support for the business too.

Congratulations to Rowley Roofing Services

At My Local Awards 2026 Yorkshire, we are proud to celebrate businesses that bring skill, commitment and genuine care to the communities they serve. Rowley Roofing Services is a fantastic example of that.

From taking the leap in 2022 to building a trusted family-run roofing business, they have shown the value of hard work, good customer relationships and doing the job properly. Their win reflects a business that leaves customers with something invaluable: the feeling that they no longer have to worry.

Congratulations to Rowley Roofing Services, a highly deserving winner of Roofing Business of the Year 2026.

And finally, a message from the team: “Thank you to all customers, without each and every one of you the success of the business would not be possible.”
