Highlights

“Luke arrived promptly to inspect the job and provide a competitive quote. He was very easy to communicate with. When selected, they arrived on time and not only fix the original broken tile, but on closer inspection found 2 more damage me tiles which they replaced without further cost. On leaving the job, they also spotted a loose fascia on the front of the property, so they got the ladder back out, went up and quickly tacked it back in place. Would definitely give Luke a call for any further roofing jobs”

AndrewTrustATrader5.0 rating

“Excellent service on the day we contacted them. Couldn't be more pleased with a thorough job done in record time Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. We will be adding Shield roofing company to our list of reliable tradesmen. They certainly know what they are doing. And very pleasant with it.”

MICHAEL BARTONTrustATrader5.0 rating

“I told Luke he was a god send.When I called his company on the morning of December 16,worried about a recurring rook leak in the home of my elderly ,housebound parents ,he visited the same day to inspect and identify the issues.These proved to need urgent attention as the leak had been ongoing and causing hidden damage,with wet rot etc.Luke secured a covering and completed the remedial work a few days later with his team on December 19.I was so grateful for him for reorganising his busy work schedule running up to Christmas.Photos were taken to explain the underlying issues.”

Jason4.8 / 5 ·

Arrived within 20 minutes of calling, scoped the job up, and repaired the flashing, a cracked tile, damaged membrane, rotten batten, and some cement work in under two hours. The scaffolding was already up which made things a lot faster, but the turnaround from requesting it to finishing it was fantastic. Pictures and videos were taken while the work was undertaken, effectively giving me the step by step repair process. I appreciated that immensely. After completion I was given recommendations to help further protect the roof, which I'll be undertaking in the Summer with Shield again. Absolutely recommended!

Luke was very informative and honest from quote to completion of the repair. He carried out the works during difficult weather conditions. Providing temporary protection during on going inclement weather. We will be taking up Luke’s advice in the spring to provide a protective coat to the whole of the GRP flat roof. We would recommend Shield Roofing for any roof works. We have his number and will contact Luke for all our future roof maintenance.

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 register
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.
