“I had a leak in my ceiling and called Douglas and Sons who I had found on Checkatrade. Michael came promptly and identified the problem and explained clearly to me what was happening and sent me a video of his investigation. He was very honest in his assessment of the situation. The repairs were carried out effectively and efficiently and all debris was removed. The repairs were put to the test immediately (it started raining heavily) and the ceiling was and remains, dry. I would certainly recommend Douglas and Sons for roofing repairs.”

Highlights
“Great work, very helpful and friendly guys. Easy to deal with, very good standard of work. Would happily recommend.”
“Michael is a straight talking, helpful and friendly guy. He came to do an initial assessment of the hole in our roof and found the cause of the leak. He came back a few days later to fix the problem – he was very efficient and tidy and cleared up any rubble/mess. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use him again.”

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.
