A good, professional job. Communicated well, kept all appointments and completed the work to our satisfaction within the agreed timescale.
Good response, phoned on Thursday, Kevin came to inspect on Thursday evening, gave me a quote on Friday and did the job on Saturday. Good workmanship and a pleasant manner. Overall very pleased with the job. Would definitely recommend Kevin and would have no hesitation using him again.

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.
