“Good honest advice and work completed to our satisfaction with little disruption to our day to day living whilst work was underway.”
“P & A Doherty worked on my cottage for approx. 2 months. All the workmen were efficient and polite. Mr Doherty kept me well informed and discussed work with me at all stages. When the work was finished, several people commented on the standard of work done and said how nice the cottage looked. I have recommended the firm several times and will not be using any other firm myself.”
Detailed reviews
Very good building work
P&A Doherty did extensive internal and external building works and repairs, renovations, decoration and restoration covering most aspects of the house (chimneys, roofs, window replacements, ceilings, carpentry, drains, timber beams, insulation etc.) The work - which took place over a period of a year - appears of high quality. I was kept up to date of progress and issues and tricky things were discussed with me before work was undertaken. The team were cheerful and easy to have around. The final bill appeared reasonable and consistent with what I had been led to expect.

Replacement of flat roof
A very professional and friendly approach from initial contact and survey, provision of a quote and completion of the job. Happy to recommend.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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.
