Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

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

Jason contacted me as soon as possible and arranged to come and look at the job. He was the only tradesman that offered to do a short term fix (removing debris) to try and prevent further problems. He was honest and passed on his knowledge. The job was completed efficiently leaving the site clean and tidy. Jason and his team were polite and sent before, during and after images of the works carried out. I will definitely use Jason again should we have a need for his services. Thanks
A fantastic job - attention to detail and quality of workmanship exceeded expectation. Looks amazing. Also very friendly, reliable and tidy - would definitely recommend.
Company were very easy and professional to deal with. Barry kept me fully involved with all aspects of the work carried out. Work completed quickly and on time. So happy with their work, kindness and attitude have sourced replacement garage door with them. They are definitely a Company I feel I can rely on.

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.
