“We required a box gutter repair which required removing the first two courses of tiles and re-felting etc. I had already been let down by two roofers and so to Jacob. Well what can I say, this is how it should be! Jacob and his team were polite, punctual, clean and tidy and did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. As I said, this is how it should be but we all now that this is the exception and not the rule. I can't recommend Jacob and his team highly enough.”

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.
