“We needed to quickly find a roof contractor to deal with a damp issue above a newly renovated kitchen. After talking to neighbours , they recommended Ben at BG. We quickly received a visit/assessment and useful photos of the issues and some additional work recommendations to future proof the roof and avoid a revisit in the near future, all well explained. As soon as a few dry days were forecast, work commenced. The work was completed efficiently and tidily and the final bill was fair and we were very pleased with the work. We would happily recommend BG Building 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.
