“We highly recommend R J Rowley Roofing, for their prompt and very professional service, also they are down to earth, friendly and very polite. We had a very bad leak on out semi-detached two storey slate roof, which they quickly fixed without any trouble, also replacing 40 slates and some pointing where required, all at a very reasonable price. We plan to hire R J Rowley Roofing for future work early next year.”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Very quick, very tidy, nice guys. Very happy with service and work completed.”
“Richie and the gang were a canny bunch to have around, never intrusive or rude, and conscious of the surroundings during the setup. They also gave us the lowest quote for the job. Before the full roof, they did a temp fix of storm damage. This was quoted and sorted faster than I've ever had from a roofer. Richie also never pressured about the full roof quote, unlike some others. The only downside would be the cigarette ends that were missed during clean-up. In hindsight, I should have given them an ashtray as we have enough! I would recommend Richie and his company to anyone, for all roof work”

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.
