Highlights
“John initially came to look at the job, explained in detail what would be required and gave a quote for it. He then turned up as arranged and completed the work to a high standard, leaving the area clean and tidy afterwards. I'd definitely use John again for any repair work.”
“We had a leak around a chimney which we’d been trying to get fixed for years. Lots of roofers had come to look and couldn’t see a problem or suggested a complete new roof instead. Meanwhile, the water kept coming in. Simon from John Riley Roofing listened carefully to the problem, inspected the roof, identified the cause and came up with a practical solution. He impressed me with his vast knowledge and professional attitude. Simon and John did the work to schedule, with care and professionalism. Leak finally appears to be fixed! I’d definitely use this firm again. 100% recommend.”
“Competitive pricing. Really good communication, prompt and reliable time-keeping, friendly and helpful manner, and Simon went the extra mile to come back and fix something we’d missed first time. Would definitely use him again for future work.”

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.
