## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We asked Josh Williams of 1st Choice Roofing to quote for two gas chimney cowls plus ventilated blanks on six more. Plus some repair pointing around the stack, all on two semi detached houses. The quote being competitive, he and his helpers have completed the work, and have done a really good job. They are to be thoroughly recommended."

> "Of the four quotes we obtained 1st choice were the only company to send scaffolder round before quoting. The job was done quickly and efficiently and any mess cleared up daily. Job was completed in suggested timescale and skip and scaffolding removed the day after completion. The whole team were friendly and polite and happily answered any questions we had. Definitely a company to get a quote from."

> "We asked 1st Choice Roofing to come and do a quote for some roof work and to replace the roof on the summerhouse after seeing some work they had done on FB. Josh came over a day later and provided us with an acceptable quote. The work was all completed in just over a week later! Josh and his team were respectful, knowledgeable, reliable and very hard working. They were tidy and cleaned up after each day. We 100% recommend Josh and his team and have kept their details for any future work we may need. Thanks guys fantastic job - we are delighted with the results 10/10 😊"

## Before you hire a roofer
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
