Highlights
“I called Childs Roofing to discuss my leaking roof, they visited two days later, correctly identified the problem and three days after that the work was completed. The actual work was carried out with care, and I was advised throughout what was being done. The site was left clean and tidy; the price of the work was fair to both of us. I would be happy to use this company again in the future.”

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.
