Highlights

Lee came and inspected the old roof and within a day gave a quotation which we accepted. He arranged a date to come and in fact brought it forward to fit in better with us. He and his fellow worker worked very hard, staying late, to get it virtually finished in the one day with just a bit of finishing off of lead work for the following day. We had a slight problem 2 weeks later and he came to sort it out straight away going well beyond the roof work to improve the surrounding brickwork as he liked to make it neat and tidy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lee.

Superb workmanship replacing three flat rooves in very cold, wintry conditions. The guys turned up bang on time and worked like trojans to get our flat rooves replaced before rain set in. They did not leave any mess and were a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending this company for roofing.

Logistically complicated works owing to a previously botched repair by others and PV panel interface. Bill and his lads were absolutely brilliant and have done a fabulous job. Roofing is one of those trades where getting it spot on right first time is ALWAYS the best and cheapest solution. There's plenty of mediocre roofers out there and getting a good one isn't always easy. We do at least have the review culture to steer us on our way; Ayling and Sons were personally recommended to me and I have pleasure in paying it on. Bill is rock solid dependable and you will get a quality job.

Worth checking yourself

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 register
Never 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.
