Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 18 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Slipped roof tile replaced and chimney cowlings sealed”
“Great new slate roof, v high standard and the guys were a pleasure to have around. Even went around with a magnet to pick any stray nails out of the gravel driveway.”
“Received a prompt reply to my request for a quotation. Work was agreed and scheduled. We had to tie the roofers work in with another company who were handling the solar panel removal and replacement and this all went very smoothly. The work was finished quickly and the team were all very polite, helpful and everything was cleaned up and left really tidy. The roof and chimney both look really good and we were extremely pleased with the outcome.”

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.
