## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "we had Shay and Mike (handy sweeps) come and fit two burners for us. the first one was tricky, we didn't know what was behind the original fire place and once removed we asked to change the plans considerably, the response we got was nothing short of exceptional. They adapted and with the up most professionalism amended the plans to deliver what we wanted. the second burner was a straight install and again displayed professionalism and high quality workmanship. they are both really nice chaps and I would not hesitate in contacting them for advice or having them return for additional work."

> "Mike was excellent, his knowledge is exceptional. He is always on time and professional. Would highly recommend their services. Sends a message once a year to remind me that the log burner needs servicing. A really good company!"

## 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.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
