My roof is large and complicated in design. It includes 4 dormer windows which have been re roofed and cladded. The chimney has had new flashing, chimney pot and cowl. The result is a beautiful new roof which is not only good to look at but benefits from the latest materials and efficiency designs. Justin is always professional, reliable and does what he says he will do.

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.
