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.

Highlights
“Very professional and clean and tidy”
“Turned up when he said he would. Clean and tidy - did a proper job no rushing in and out. I have a large Victorian house and have always done my own sweeping, but getting on a bit (early 70's) and did one chimney couple of weeks ago and spend the rest of the day getting soot out of my nose and dusting everything in the room. These guys have better equipment and better masks than me! Reasonable price, all good so I will use them next year.”

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.
