Highlights
“From the first contact Tony was excellent , easy to talk to ,understood problems when explained to, have confidence he knew what he was doing . Kept me informed at all times giving dates that work would start , any set backs because of problems (weather being the only one ,rain ). Met Joe on first day of work and what a great ,lovely guy . The work was excellent and they have done a brilliant job ,Joe even repaired guttering (which was not part of job quote ) for me at no extra cost . What a pleasure to meet 2 nice guys and have a professional and excellent job done .Very pleased with work”
“After arranging for a well known local roofing firm to give me a quote to undertake some work at my home, and promptly hearing absolutely nothing for over two weeks after their inspection, I contacted R&L Roofing Contractors. Tony got a quote to me the next day but said they were busy for 8 to 9 weeks. I waited and I'm glad I did. The job they did for me was done professionally, quickly, looked great and the place was virtually spotless after they had finished. No blaring radio's, no bad language and no mess, I would recommend Tony and Joe to anyone without hesitation.”

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.
