## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "If you are looking for a courteous, reliable, friendly and expert roofer, then I cannot recommend Simon and his team enough. I had met with a few roofing companies as my entire roof needed to be re-battened (rotten) with a completely new felt membrane. Si was extremely quick to respond to my questions, visited the property and did a thorough review. He explained in detail what work would need to be done and offered a good price. His communication throughout was impeccable and the team arrived on time and just cracked on! My absolute go-to for any future roofing or building work."

## Before you hire a roofer
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Never 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.
- A major re-roof must meet building regulations. Prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
