Highlights
"Our extension was completely reroofed with membrane, battens and tiles, and our main 100 year old clay tile roof had all the ridge tiles replaced and all broken, slipped and missing tiles replaced. I am very pleased with the work and would recommend Gator Roofing. The project started fairly small but problems with the roof were discovered and needed further attention. I was very satisfied that this additional work was really needed, and the additional cost was clearly communicated and once agreed was stuck to. The whole team was friendly. They wanted to do a good job, and did so."
"Good timekeeping and did the job quickly."
"Job has been done efficiently, the only slight issue is that the slate is the wrong width and not the same as existing."

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.
