“Darren and his colleague are just really competent and nice. They keep you posted on how things are going and always leave things tidy when they leave for the day or wrap up a project. I'd called on Darren before to do some remedial work on my 1968 roof and had a great experience, so it was a no brainer to call him back in years later when it was time to finally replace the roof. Very happy this is now done and done well. No hesitation in recommending!”

Highlights
“Darren completed the work efficiently, tidily and effectively. I now have a smart looking roof. He kept me informed of progress, and went above & beyond in moving some of my rubbish into the skip & clearing plants from my neighbour’s gutters!”
“Firstly, when contacting Darren make certain you are speaking to him. His Checkatrade contact number has been hacked in the past by some unscrupulous folk. Darren had to correct a problem created by the original builders. The usual solution could not be done without relaying all the original tiles so Darren provided a solution. I cannot fault his work or his leaving the site clean and tidy. He is a busy tradesman but worth the wait.”

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.
