## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "It's so refreshing to deal with a real local family firm who do what they say they will do and do it when they said they would. Initial calls returned straight away and inspection with quote almost immediately, despite what must have been a peak demand period after a spate of foul weather. Estimate of work needed was fair and reasonable. All were hard-working, polite and friendly."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Excellent job, the team were all polite, hardworking, reliable, and left our property clean at the end of every day. I would highly recommend them. Hascombe - Surrey"
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Did not turn up on day scheduled. Repointed chimney, replaced missing tiles, did not see any lead flashings but was assured by Rickey that this had been done. One can only see cement surrounding chimney/roof. Queried bill as work only took 2/3 days. Asked for breakdown but was told that they did not do this, I had accepted the full price for the work."

## Before you hire a roofer
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never 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.
- A major re-roof must meet building regulations. Prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
