“Ben and his team replaced broken tiles, repointed and replaced flashing where necessary and sorted out our leaks. Worked efficiently, cleaned up and took everything away and kept us well informed with photos etc. Excellent.”

Highlights
“Ben Chipchase is a true professional and so very kind. I urgently needed him to assess the flat roof of a property I was buying to find out what was causing an ongoing leak and to determine how much it would cost. Even though he was busy with lots of other work on, he moved things around in order to come and do the job for me. He managed the situation brilliantly between the estate agent and the vendor, cleared up after he had removed and replaced decking to inspect the roof, and produced an excellent inspection report to satisfy all parties and resolve the situation. He is an absolute legend.”
“I cannot thank this company enough Ben was beyond a wonderful kind human From start to finish he went above and beyond to get the leak on the roof fixed before Christmas He is the only company that would even reply to my emails or calls at a time when everyone was winding down for the holidays Ben came out on Christmas Eve to do an emergency fix so water wasn't coming into the home during the holidays Then immediately after the holidays he was up there fixing all I honest have never found a tradesman before that was this lovely, thorough and just kind. Thank you Ben so so much”

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.
