Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Michael Willis Roofing, including the highlights above. The 56 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
We have used Michael Willis Roofing on a number of occasions over the last few years. Michael is consistently quick to respond when work is required. Amounts invoiced are always reasonable and in line with quotes provided. Michael did a good job replacing a couple of flat roof felts at our new house and provided a ten year guarantee. We have also had Michael out to put covers on a number of chimneys to prevent birds from nesting and to replace roof tiles dislodged by storms. Michael is very knowledgeable about his trade and doesn't recommend work unless it is absolutely necessary.
Have had Michael out multiple times over the last few years to do a variety of work from refelting our flat roof to adding plastic verges to our main roof. Always quick to come have a look at problems and has always offered lots of useful advice too. He's always incredibly fair and transparent with pricing. Can't recommend him enough.
I recently had my gutters repaired and was really impressed with the service. The team were excellent communicators throughout, turned up exactly when they said they would, and completed the work to a high standard. Their pricing was very reasonable too. I’m really pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them to others

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.
