Work started for 1 day on 25/08, didn’t come for rest of the week alleging being stopped by police for expired MOT which I discovered was untrue after running checks on reg. He has worked a few days a wk at most or none at all & provides excuses that lack credibility. He now says he had a heart attack yet posts roofing jobs when supposedly in hospital on social media and new reviews are being posted. I've paid 11k which was initially promised to be completed within 2-3wks its been 6 wks &the work is far from done. I work as a foster carer now unable to work, doesn’t show up lacks communication

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.

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.
