Darren and his colleague opened up two fireplaces for us, placing a wood burning stove in one of them. The work was completed to a high standard and on time. It’s a messy job but they left both areas clean and tidy. The work was very competitively priced. We would highly recommend these guys.

We have had Darren look after our annual chimney sweeping needs for years and a few years back Darren and his team installed a new log burner and chimney lining for us. They are excellent, honest, fair and efficient. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and would 100% recommend them to anyone.

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.
