Highlights
“Dave was absolutely brilliant. The standard of work, friendliness, and communication were all second to none. I genuinely couldn’t recommend anyone more highly than The Sweep. Kay was also incredibly helpful and friendly, keeping in touch throughout the whole process. I enquired and she got back to me within minutes, booking me in for the very next morning. Pricing was clear and provided at the time of booking, which I really appreciated. I was left feeling completely satisfied and happy with the service. Thank you both so much — I would definitely use you again!”

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.
