Highlights
“We need to have our roof replaced on short notice Richard and his team completed the work to an excellent level. Richards team of roofers worked very hard, we're a polite group of people, cleaned up any messages at the end of each day. We would highly recommend 1st choice roofing for excellent quality roof replacement.”
“We recently had our roof repaired by 1st Choice Roofing and Building Ltd, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and incredibly hardworking. They clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows in the quality of their workmanship. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process, everything was explained clearly, and we were kept up to date with progress at every stage. The crew were polite, tidy, and respectful of our property, leaving everything spotless when the job was complete. Jamie&Emma.”
“Richard and his team detected numerous problems with our roof and were so professional in how all the work was undertaken. They were very honest and after so many rogue roofers it was pleasure to have them working for us. Everything rectified. Can 100% recommend them. Thank you”

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever 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.
