“Had a small job of replacing some tiles to the roof of our house. Billy came round to quote the same day I contacted him. Work was carried out to a good standard and Billy kept us up to date with when he would be able to fit the work in. Really pleased and would recommend and use again.”

Highlights
“We employed Billy to fix our leak, it took him a week - inc all the excuses of why he could not arrive (which would be given after the appointed time) this did not include rain. The leak happened again the very next time it rained - he came back and attempted to fix - now six months later the leak is back. I called out someone else and they have found newspaper stuffed inbetween felt etc. odd pieces of tile stuffed in other bits - this cost just over £5000 - do not use”

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.
