“My roof was replaced a few years ago, but the person cut corners, did a poor job and then ceased trading, leaving me with a leaky roof. I got onto Check-a-trade and these guys messaged me straight away, they arranged to come out to my place that afternoon. Sadly my roof was significantly damaged and needed urgent work, understanding the urgency they agreed to start immediately. The team were polite, punctual and hard working, cracking on with the job but also not rushing and making sure it is done properly. The roof now it looks much better than it did. Just need some rain to leak test!”

Highlights
“Great job thank you came out quickly and finished the job quickly. Gave 3 quotes. Sent lots of pictures. Reasonable price. Kept me informed throughout the job and sent photos of the job when finished. They were clean and I would have no problem in recommending them. Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly which makes a difference. I was quoted by 2 previous companies but they turned up but then didn’t do the job making it difficult to trust a contractor but this lovely company has restored my confidence and have done a great job what else can I ask for. I will recommend you. Thank you!!!!!!!”

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.
