Highlights
“We recently had some fantastic work carried out, including the installation of new fence panels in the garden, professional jet washing of our patio, and repairing cracks in both the garden path and front driveway before repainting them. Every aspect of the job was completed to a high standard with great attention to detail. The team was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with throughout. Prices were very reasonable too, which was an added bonus! We’re absolutely delighted with the results and have already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so without”
“James carried out replacement of ridge tiles on extension. These tiles had come off during a bad storm a year ago. He did a professional job and also took the time to match the roof tiles on the extension. Highly recommended.”
“James arranged a visit to assess what was requires for the repair. He was very helpful and gave good advice on what was needed to carry out the work. Estimate was very reasonable. Whilst carrying out the work he found some joints also needed replacing and cleared the gutters before starting work. I found him to be a professional and honest tradesman who takes pride in their work. Highly recommended and very pleased with the work carried out.”

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.
