John and his team were punctual, professional and did exactly what they quoted for at the agreed price
I found this company on Facebook, contacted them and they were very quick to respond. On time, very friendly, helpful and thorough in their work. My roof was very badly damaged and gutter blocked with cement. They sent me Photos and videos at every point of the work. Good job!
I had first choice undertake some ridge work and gutting work on my property they was very polite and well mannered and was always on time and never let me down all work was finished to a very high standard and because of this I would recommend them to any body who needs any roofing work undertaken.

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.
