What to check when hiring roofers in the United Kingdom

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
  • Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
  • Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
  • A major re-roof must meet building regulations. Prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit.
  • Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.

How to judge a roofer

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • Check the roofer is on the NFRC CPS register (nfrccps.com): this means they can legally self-certify re-roofing work to Building Regulations and must issue you a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
  • Confirm they hold NFRC or CORC membership, which requires a physical inspection of their business and ongoing compliance checks: it is the strongest vetting a roofer can carry.
  • Ask to see proof of public liability insurance before work starts: NFRC, CORC, and TrustMark all require it, so a genuine member can produce it easily.
  • For older or listed buildings, check they appear on the NFRC Heritage Register: endorsed by Historic England for specialist slate, clay, and traditional roof materials.

Warning signs of a cowboy

  • A stranger knocks unsolicited and claims to have spotted damage from the street: this is the single most-reported doorstep fraud in UK Trading Standards data.
  • They ask for a large cash deposit upfront and have no written quote, no scheme membership, and no insurance-backed guarantee to offer.
  • No NFRC, CORC, or TrustMark membership of any kind: unvetted roofers have no independent audit of their work or finances.
  • They plan to work off ladders only with no scaffolding: this skips the legal working-at-height requirements and signals they are cutting every corner.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Are you on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme register, and will you issue me a building-regulations compliance certificate and 10-year insurance-backed guarantee?
  • Can I see your current public liability insurance certificate before you start?
  • Will you give me a full written quote itemising materials and labour before any payment is made?
  • How will you protect the roof and my property if it rains before the job is finished?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy roofer?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A roofer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend roofers for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Roofers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring a roofer?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the roofer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
