We are super pleased with the work that Dean carried out for us at home, it's our second time using Dean (D Whiteman and Son) and we honestly can not fault anything! Dean was quick to respond to our initial quote request, provided a time he was available to fit us/ the job in. He turned up on time (something which is a bit hit and miss with some trades people- not Dean!), kept us in the loop throughout the work, and was clean and tidy. We cannot recommend Dean enough, he will be coming back to tile our kitchen soon!

Detailed reviews
This team of father and sons are superb. Not only are they polite and professional, they are absolutely spot on with their work ethic and results. I met and discussed the job with Ryan who saw it through with every detail being ticked and completed to perfection, with Dad being the tiler and wow what a super job! I could not recommend these chaps enough!
Dean did an excellent job of tiling our bathroom, we were really pleased with the result! He was very friendly and hardworking. I would definitely use him again and not hesitate in recommending him to others.

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.
