“Did my conservatory leak initially with no issues and fast call out and very reasonable price and very approachable. Called back to do conservatory conversion with new rubber roof, new cladding, patio doors and windows new guttering and facia boards. Anthony and his new team of work collegues were a pleasure to have and were very reliable. Very happy with my revamped conservatory that I can use as a room now. If you have an issue with you roof etc Anthony is well respected and known for his excellent professional work.”

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Ala roofing and building, including the highlights above. The 80 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Quoted to replace fascias and soffits before significant storm damage. Works ended up with felt and battening replacement followed by new fascia boards. Communication was sparse, limited work was completed each day leading to over a month of repairs, and significant debris was left. No invoice provided. Roof continued to leak after the works were completed and the quality of work has left subsequent roofers embarrassed, with them recommending Trading Standards. Will need replacing at significant cost, unlikely to withstand the incoming storms.

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.
