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

I found B Dry roofing to be a very professional company, right from when James came to do the survey and quotation, through to when the men came to erect scaffolding, followed by the team that came to replace my felt, battens and roof tiles. They all worked very efficiently and despite some challenging weather , completed the work rapidly. Communication with them was also efficient. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
James and the whole B-dry team did an excellent job in replacing our roof. The team are very professional and work really well together. We have no hesitation in recommending them
James and B-dry were great. We had noticed a broken ridge tile and wanted a professional company who were prepared to do a small repair. James came and gave us a qoute. His team then came and fortunately noticed 2 more broken ridge tiles and a couple of other tiles which needed replacing. He had a video of the problem which was very helpful. All this was done quickly and efficiently. We are very pleased and will keep his number for future use and recommend him to neighbours and friends should they need his services .

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.
