Highlights
“Very professionally and thorough. Pre install, install, and post install were all done very well and easy for me to understand.”
“Really enjoyed working with South East Solar & Electrical (SESE) and I am over the moon with my installation which was installed VERY efficiently by a friendly and polite team. The same can be said of the office based team and the scaffolding team and I think it's a great asset to have the scaffolding and solar all under one roof. The after sales team have also been very responsive with any questions I've had with regards to the App that is used on a daily basis, these are not issues just general getting to know the system queries. I rate SESE very highly.”
“Really pleased with the whole process, from online quote, structural survey communication, to installation, not to mention the great price! They arrived before/on time & got started straight away, were very polite, explaining the process & checking my preferences for sites of the equipment. They were very efficient, neat & precise in their work & left my property tidy & as they found it. Highly recommended! 😁👍 Oh & since install am obsessed with the app, monitoring the energy generated & used.”

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.
