Detailed reviews
Very messy and unorganised, impossible to contact when not on site had to be prompted about jobs that had been quoted for but had “forgotten about” and ignored when needed to snag building surveyors requirements to sign off the work. Also agreed to return at a later date to plaster downstairs toilet which was paid for but unable to contact.

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.
