Highlights
“Good price and excellent work.”
“Very competitive quote for the works. A future date agreed but works completed today, as the company had a cancellation, so the work was brought forward. All along communication has been great, with a same day visit to assess the works and provide the quote and all my questions answered. The work was carried out today, with both roofers working really hard in searing temperatures to complete the work. They were both pleasant, helpful and considerate. Happy to recommend this company.”
“I just wanted to say a Big Thanks to Christopher and his team. Christopher replied very quickly to my message, we agreed the price and date. Two his colleagues done a very good job, which stopped cold coming through the fireplace to the rooms and reduced the noise. Very professional Company. Would highly recommend.”

I called them in to try and sort out rain water pouring in from my roof (which a previous roofer never bothered to sort out). They saw a few possible causes and carried out repairs but until it rains i will not know for certain it's solved as could be from anywhere. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.

They are on time, excellent workers and did an amazing job. They even went the extra mile and tidied up another trades work and made roof look neater. Would definitely use them again.

I found Chris and his team to be absolutely excellent. Chris contacted me within the hour of posting the job, came to view the work needed the same day & his team arrived to do the job within 3 days. Cannot fault their professionalism & communication skills at all.

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.
