Have used Horsham & District Roofing before. Mark and Sam in particular are highly professional, meticulous , helpful and not least very personable . Have recommended them without any hesitation to my neighbours.

An excellent job done by Sam and his team. The hole behind the chimney stack was the entry point for a pregnant squirrel, and this was dealt with separately by the pest controller. All roofing work was thorough, neat and tidy, and the roof is now squirrel proof.
My family have used Sam for years. Always super reliable, great quality of work and competitive prices. Sam installed a flat roof above our front door and reconfigured our guttering. Completed to a great standard as always. Wouldn't hesitate to have Sam back for any future work. Would 100% recommend.

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.
