Highlights
“David and his team were prompt, friendly and professional. Communicated well with all. Will use again.”
“We’ve had Dave and his colleague complete two jobs on our roof, fixing cracks in our chimney, and later in rear parapet wall. Happy with the service and trust we’re in good hands.”
“I use Dave for all my roofing repairs and have never been disappointed with the quality of work he carries out. He's always on time, fair in his pricing, tidy and the quality of work is exceptional. Every time he does a repair I never have any reoccurring issues after it's fixed. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and quality roofer. Dave will continue to be my preferred roofer.”

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.
