Highlights
“Excellent work and very friendly. Did what he said he would do with no drama or hassle. Would definitely use again. The work was required following a burst pipe in the bathroom. Chris provided a quote swiftly in a form acceptable to the insurance company and was happy to keep in touch throughout the approval and drying out process to be able to slot our work in as soon as conditions allowed. Even came back to help us rehang a huge mirror once paintwork was dry!”
“They were very clean and thorough in their work , carried out extremely well. Communicated throughout the work time and were courteous and polite. Like many things were subject to the weather which was a cause of delay but out of their control. All in all a company that performed in an excelent manner and one I have no problems in recommending.”

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.
