Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 16 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
Very impressed, both by the work and the team that carried it out. Team turned up on time every day, got straight on with the work, not once did I see any standing around on the phone or any signs of eeking out the job. There was even a situation where they could have easily taken the easy way out on something but took an extra hour to get it right (I would have never have known or spotted). Spotlessly clean afterwards and the work look great. I have waited a few months before reviewing to 'test the job' and absolutely A1. Would highly recommend and intend to use them for future work.
Excellent initial contact, response and timely quotation provision. Start date and schedule of work provided within a few days. As advised Ian and his colleague completed the old felt removal and partial rotten flat decking replacement and made good some of the original building faults. The materials and construction processes were professional applied and the finished results exceeding expectations. All work was completed in a safe, clean and diligent manner. From this roofing experience I would highly recommend contacting Dorset Felt Roofing Ltd. Your roofing needs. Thank you

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.
