## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Replacement Roof - stripped and re- felt and battened . I would recommend James Roofing & Building. From beginning , price was discussed and we accepted. The work carried out was of a high standard. Took 7 days in total. They were punctual and communicated well. They tidied up as they went along and informed me of necessary planning application to enable professional signing off by the council. I would employ them again."

## 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.
