## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I'd seen some loose flashing that had opened and was funnelling water in. Hornby roofing came to the rescue, told me it would require a proper permanent repair and they would be available in the new year. Gave me a quick temporary fix to get through the winter season, there and then he was on the roof and temp fixed the issue. 20 minutes he was done. I'm so impressed with his service I'll be renewing all the flashing next year, im that impressed I'm even considering using them to renew the roof as a whole job lot. Absolutely fantastic service! Cannot recommend highly enough."

## 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.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
