Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“I contacted Harris and Son Ltd for assistance in preventing birds accessing the insulation materials in the roof via open eaves. We arranged a site visit and Colin got a ladder from the van to fully assess the problem - and discussed possible solutions to prevent the birds from accessing the insulation material. On Monday 2nd March 2026, Colin and Eddie were on site. Colin explained the solution to the problem and how it would be implemented. Both Colin and Eddie were very friendly and good team workers and completed installing the solution to all the open eaves concerned that day.”
“This company communicated very well with us and in particular got back to us very quickly after our initial enquiry. They kept us informed as to when they could do the job and were very polite and obliging.”
“Clear communication throughout. There was an initial on site visit to assess the work required in order to provide an accurate quote. The issue and work required to fix it were explained in detail. The team arrived on time and carried out the work quickly: replaced the bracket to fix the overhanging gutter in place, tighten the clip and sealed in the lose downpipe, cleared gutter of moss and debris. All areas left clear and tidy.”

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.
