Highlights
“I wish I’d known about Elton and his team sooner. We had our flat roof replaced by rogue traders two years ago and found ourselves with leaks in most upstairs rooms and a fear of tradesmen. Elton was recommended to us by our roofing surveyor. His team of Andy, Brett, Carl and Richard worked on our roof and they couldn’t have been any better. They worked hard, tidied after themselves and were a pleasure to have around. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Elton and his team.”
“We are delighted with the work done by Ben and Ollie yesterday.”

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.
