“Replaced leaking roof valley , valley boards, surrounding fascia and soffit. Also replaced rotted timber mock tudor board to roof apex. All the work was carried out from scaffold and ladders by John Hobbs and his assistant Logan. The job was carried out to very high standards with care, precision and attention to detail. John and Logan were very helpful, informative and friendly throughout the duration of the job which was completed on time. They provided a great customer service and it was a pleasure to have them work on my property.”

Highlights
“John and Logan did a fab job. Reliable and courteous. Very happy to recommend.”
“John did our rear house extension a number of years ago, so he was our first choice of contact when we needed some exterior repair work done to the front of our house. John replaced various sections of rotten wood on our roof gable and then prepped and painted the gable and front of our house. We are very pleased with the results. Would highly recommend John Hobbs Building Contractors.”

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
