Highlights
“Roy quickly identified the problems and how to make roof water tight again. Only had a short wait before he came to do the work quickly and efficiently. I waited until after recent heavy rain to check there were no leaks before writing review- - there aren't! Thank you Roy”
“I called Roy out after receiving some pretty scary quotes from other companies. Roy was completely transparent about the work which needed doing he advised me that I had been quoted for work which didn’t need doing on my pitch roof. Roy and his team however replaced my flat roof very quickly and left no mess. He kept me updated and even cleaned all my gutters for free. I cannot thank ans recommend him enough!”

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.
