Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

A very reasonable quote, turned up on requested start day, clean tidy and did exactly what was asked.. good communication, and in my opinion a fantastic job💪.. would highly recommend
Justin always responds quickly when contacted. He and his team always turn up when they say they will and always do a 1st class job - neat, tidy and thorough. And I would thoroughly recommend them for any roofing work.
Justin kept me informed from the initial enquiry and subsequent quote as to what needed doing. Once underway he provided daily updates until the job was finished and provided pictures of all the work, kept my elderly relative informed each day about arrival time and progress.

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.
