“Never thought I would leave a review for a new roof that said 'incredible experience' but Rab and the team were just amazing. Committed and hard working, they took immense pride in their work and offered extra great advice as needed. We had the whole roof replaced with a flat roof section, a chimney removed and a velux window installed. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. Really felt like they were on our side and trying to help us get the right result. Friendly, acommodating, fun and incredibly hard working. Don't look anywhere else, these are the guys for your job!!”

Highlights
“Robbie was a lifesaver this weekend! He came out quickly to fix a leaky roof, was professional and friendly, and clearly knew his trade. He explained the issue clearly and had it sorted in no time. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable, skilled roofer.”
“We had our whole roof redone and 3 chimneys taken down. We are really pleased with the work done, it has all been done to a high standard and looks great. It was all carried out in good time even though the weather was against us on many days. Communication was great throughout, professional and tidy workmen. Would definitely recommend.”

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

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.
