Highlights
“Lead needed replacing round chimney. Quick easy job and great service”
“Mr Payne visited to check the requirements on the day of the initial call and returned 10 days later to carry out the work. Three ridge tiles were replaced and the guttering cleaned inside and out. The price was reasonable, they arrived on time and we are very satisfied with the work. Highly recommended.”
“Richard responded to my Sunday AM call on a bank holiday weekend and arrived as promised shortly thereafter. He carried out the necessary repair quickly and without fuss. Brilliant service, lovely chap and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him!”

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.
