_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Very good service. Needed some work done urgently on my chimney. From the first contact they were very professional and were able to carry out the work the same day. As I was not at home they kept me updated throughout the day and also sent photos and videos of the work as it was being carried out. I was very pleased with the professionalism throughout and would definitely recommend them."

## 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.
- A major re-roof must meet building regulations — prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
