“We had need of a roofer to re-felt part of our pitched roof. After finding the problem and contacting Ben and his company we had a visit from Ben the next day to review and give us a quote to strip part of the tiled roof to re- felt fit new battens and set new verge. After accepting the quote Ben and his team were round within a week to do the job. Can't fault the professionalism of Ben, job completed to our satisfaction in excellent time. Can't rate this team highly enough.”

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.
