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 9 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

6/2026 update re 19/2 EPDM rubber reroofing of double garage
As previously reported Pete and his mate appeared to have done a good job. They had been prompt, tidy and courteous. However, there is a significant drainage problem when it rains which results in a pool of water covering a large area of the roof. Clearly Pete did not take variations in the gradient of the roof into account before starting work which he should have done as an experienced professional. On several occasions since March Pete has told us, we are both in our 80s and I’m disabled, that he would return to carry out some remedial work but he has failed to do so.

Professional Flat Roof Service
We needed to re-cover our kitchen extension flat roof which was last replaced 20 years ago. The bitumen felt was still intact but we wanted to convert from a 1980s cold roof to a modern, insulated warm roof with a sky light and covered with EPDM rubber. Pete came round and discussed options including fitting insulation on top of the existing roof deck and a sun tunnel which would mean much less disruption to the roof structure. I was impressed with the level of knowledge and the fact he was Firestone approved. The quote was within the expected range and reasonable. It took a while to settle on a date as roofing work is very weather dependant but once we got the date, they kept to it. Pete and his colleague were easy to deal with during the installation particularly around details of the sun tunnel installation. We are very happy with the end result.

Flat roof renewal
Pete and Neil replaced our kitchen flat roof . They were methodical , and completed a great job in very cold weather, the least I could do was fortify them with copious hot tea. They left the area spotlessly clean and the finished job extremely well executed. I would recommend them to anyone who want professionals, and at a very reasonable price.

Excellent work and lovely people to deal with.
The Rain Defence team replaced a flat roof over garage and extension with EPDM roofing, and insulated the area of the extension. Once they arrived they worked continuously on the roof until it was completed and dealt with any issues quickly and without any fuss. A very professional outfit, offering guarantees and clear paperwork. They were pleasant to work with and I felt confident from the outset that they understood what was needed and would do a good job. I thoroughly recommend them

Excellent company to work with.
We had a new EPDM flat roof installed on the house extension. Full quotation provided before the work and quickly and professionally answered all questions asked ahead of the work. Arrived as agreed and carried out work in a professional manner leaving the roof and garden clean and tidy. Followed up on the work with both the invoice and guarantee, and responded to post-installation questions asked. Very pleased with both the work and customer service, and happy to recommend to others.

Absolute Professionals
Had the pleasure of using this company's services to replace a tandem garage flat roof that had lasted far lo ger than it had any right to. Pete and Neil are genuinely friendly and professional gents. They prioritised the work to my property due to an exposed hole in the roof and discussed options and provided a very reasonable quote for the work. They started the work when they said they would, carried out first rate workmanship, including finishing touches to trim and the like and cleaned up all excess materials to leave the place tidier than it was before they started. The EPDM rubber roofing that was used to replace the aging felt looks first rate and will undoubtedly last significantly longer than the previous material. I can't recommend these guys highly enough!

100% would recommend
I have encountered so many workmen during my time of owning my house who have tried to rip me off or have only done a substandard job but I cannot recommend Pete enough. He changed the date for me several times thanks to me breaking my leg and honored the work even when he was feeling poorly himself. The pricing and standard for the work is second to none and I have just recommended him to my friend who needs work doing as I was so impressed. Professional, kind, hard working, punctual and genuine it’s hard to find nowadays. If you need roofing doing then please contact these guys.

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.
