Highlights
“Absolutely excellent service work was done to perfection guys doing roof was polite and preferable highly recommended”
“We used the Flat Roofing Specialists in late 2024 to repair a hall roof on our church (a felt covered apex roof) and from start to finish Matt was communicative and helpful — that alone set him apart from many others, as it really gave us confidence the job would be done well - and it was! The work was done on time, and he was even kind enough to patch up a couple of defects in an adjoining roof. The main roof that he replaced is now in excellent condition, and we couldn't be happier with the work. We highly recommend Matt and his team.”
“I contacted The Flat Roofing Specialists after being let down by multiple other companies when looking for someone to repair my flat roof. From first contact, Matt was a pleasure to deal with. He came out to assess the work when he said he would and sent the quote promptly. When it came to carrying out the work, everything was done to a very high standard with the utmost care and attention to detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Flat Roofing Specialist to anyone, we struck gold when we found Matt, and that's no exaggeration!”

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.
