Highlights
“Robert and team were fantastic, great communication leading up to their arrival to do the job and throughout. Installation of the roof and guttering went well and everything was kept neat and tidy from start to finish. We have had a bit of sun and rain since the installation of the roof and all is working great, honest fair price and a real high quality finish. Very happy!”
“We had decided to replace our roof due to a leak and Sovereign Roofing came promptly to assess the damage. This included some aerial footage from a drone and identified the issue and gave some options, including a repair. We decided to go for a replacement. The process went really well, with the old solar being removed and safely stored and re-installed. Once the job started, they reliably attended until the roof was finished. After they got done, I managed to get up and inspect the job (took video), as the scaffolding company had yet to remove the installation.”
“The company was quick to respond when approached, and promptly came out to inspect the problem. They demonstrated a breadth of knowledge and experience, and it was subsequently agreed to replace an area of tiled roof and repair the associated gullies. Scaffolding was erected as necessary, and the work was carried out in a tidy and efficient manner. Overall, dealing with this company was a good experience and the completed job appears most satisfactory.”

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.
