Unfortunately, our experience with Chris was disappointing. While his quote was reasonable and the tiling acceptable though messy, he claimed to be a qualified plumber and took on the rest of our bathroom fit. Months later, we're facing multiple issues - leaking radiator, poorly hung shower doors, leaking shower tray due to messy sealant, grout on painted walls, gaps in grouting, grouting on the floor and windows. Though friendly, Chris either lacked the necessary skills or under-quoted and chose to cut corners rather than address costs honestly with us. Subsequently he’s ignored my messages.

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 register
Never 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.
