“Danny from Ruby Roofing recently completely replaced my roof. The work was completed very efficiently to an extremely high standard and at a very competitive price. Danny is very particular about finishing a job to a high standard and won’t cut corners. I would not hesitate to recommend Ruby Roofing to anyone and I’m going to use them again myself for a couple of smaller jobs.”
“Danny thoroughly explained the problems with existing flat roof (previously very poorly repaired by another company) and provided solutions, supported by photographs. Before proceeding with the agreed repairs, he discussed everything with us in detail. Danny and Johnny worked very hard all week in extremely hot weather. Everything was left clean and all rubbish removed. They were respectful to our and neighboring properties. Would definitely recommend Ruby Roofing.”

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.
