## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I phoned the company in the morning and Paul said they may be able to do the work later in the day. He phoned me back later in the day and they turned up to do the job at 4.00pm. The work was done to a high standard and they even used the cement left over to repair a crack in my path! They were friendly and courteous and did the job for the agreed price. I would certainly use them again and would recommend them to others without hesitation."

> "Peter and Paul came round on the same day we had a leak in our roof. Thankfully they completed a temporary repair job otherwise internal damage would have been likely. We had no hesitation in calling them as we were previous customers. Full repair work and an additional new flat roof request from us carried out to a high standard. Professional and friendly, trustworthy and very reliable. Would definitely recommend."

> "Paul and Peter did a great job from the start. I chose them as their quote was competitive and they gave me an option that would save me money instead of going for full replacement of the damaged roof. They worked hard and to a high standard, remaining professional, friendly and polite throughout the job. I would highly recommend them. I will look to use them for future jobs."

## 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.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
