Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Paul was conscientious, hard working and efficient with work to a very high standard. Keeping us informed of progress and developments through out especially during the persistent rain storms. Replacing the membrane, batons and reusing the existing tiles was not easy during the inclement weather, his system of work enabled him to continue throughout. Very happy with the finished roof and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a roofer
Paul had already done some jobs for me in the past and I naturally called him to fix & repair a couple of things with my roof. All completed as expected.
Paul and his team arrived at the arranged time and informed me of exactly what they was doing and why, every step of the way. He and his team were friendly, polite and considerate throughout, and the work done to a very high standard. Thankyou Paul.

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.
