Highlights
“I thoroughly recommend Ability Roofing Ltd. A friendly, professional, excellent family run business. Reassuring, helpful communication with Sarah and James every step of the way, and highly skilled scaffolder (Lee) and roofers (Kevin and Nick) who all did such fantastic, careful work to carry out the job so brilliantly! Thank you!”
“Very polite and approachable team. Worked completed professionally Would recommend and use again”
“Having read their reviews I contacted Ability roofing in regard to a leak in my roof. An appointment and site visit was quickly arranged where James took time to inspect the roof from both the inside and out before identifying and explaining it was likely due to a missing tile. I was later provided a quote and once agreed the work was undertaken within a few days.”

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.
