“Excellent work carried out by Sam and his team .. We quickly received a quotation which was very competitive … Our large 1860’s Victorian ornate chimney needed re-pointing and sealing from the weather as rainwater had been getting in … Now it looks fantastic and weatherproofed for many more years ... I would definitely use their services again and fully recommend to anyone looking to have any roofing work carried out”

Terrible rough job. Caused leak in neighbour's house. Other roofing company said worst they have ever seen and I had been overcharged. Said for the money I paid I should have had creme de la creme job and clearly hadn't. Didn't get license for scaffolding on road and didn't let me know I needed building regulations involvement. Now having to pay double fees for retrospective building regulations approval. Also actually walked off job mid way as I couldn't pay immediately as was waiting for mortgage increase money to come in - which he knew in advance. It took two weeks to come through.

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.
