Mick from Able Roofing and Home Improvements Ltd where the first company I called when I needed my ridge tiles replaced after some had been damaged by high winds. I had used there services before and was impressed with the high standard of workmanship and quality of materials used. Mick and his team turned up as arranged and completed the renewal of the ridge tiles as required to the highest standard and cleaned up when finished thank you for a first class job.

Mick and his team did a great job of replacing the roof on our house. Communications were excellent throughout, he would provide pictures and videos of progress and clearly takes a lot of pride in his trade. We would use them again.
Verified by CheckatradeRoof repair following gales
I cannot praise the service from Mick and his team highly enough. Exemplary communication and a top quality job done. Helpful, videotaped the damage and took the time to explain why things needed to be done. Future proofed the repair using upgrades, so it should never happen again. We’re already talking to him about another job. Cleaned the work area up. Upon quoting the job, we hadn’t understood the level of damage, 3 companies quoted but Mick was the only person to actually go up and look at the job, there was lots of loose broken materials. He made the site safe. Fab service.

Able roofing carried out a professional and timely roof replacement to a very high quality. The attention to detail was excellent. The work area was kept very tidy and each evening the property was made watertight. Mick was very reassuring with regular updates on progress and found positive solutions to any issues. I’d highly recommend this company.

I honestly can’t recommend Able roofing enough. I bought a house to renovate and the roof was a mess and I was really concerned about further damage with storms. I asked for a quote on the 11th November and by the 2nd December the work was completed. The roofers were all lovely and worked very hard and my roof looks amazing. Thanks so much

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.
