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

Detailed reviews
Apical Roofcare responded promptly to my job request submitted via telephone to Checkatrade.Com Customer Services Team. They came to my house at the agreed time and explained clearly what needed to be done. They provided a written quote by email detailing two different options for a proposed solution. They also indicated when they could come and complete the job. They clearly answered all my questions via email and telephone. Apical completed the job to my satisfaction within the expected timescale and left the site clean and tidy. I would recommend them for similar work in the future.
I think this is the third time I've used Apical and have been impressed every time. The workmanship seems excellent and it feels like Dan gives his advice and keeps you informed throughout. Would recommend.

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.
