Highlights
“Wally was really helpful in assessing the issue and then addressing the work very promptly for us. Excellent communication throughout, provided a competitive quote, having first attended to assess with photos provided, and has carried out the work to a very high standard.”
“Professional service and great communication arrived on time for both the quote and the job. Honest evaluation on the work required, got back with a written quote as promised later on in the day, they also scheduled the work within a few days. Carried out replacement of a guttering downpipe. Very happy with the work carried out. (They ensured everything was tidy, cable tied landline wires back to the downpipe and even removed an old sky dish). They're highly recommended.”
“Had a problem with some soffit boards which blew down in the storm , leaving large hole into loft. Picked Wally from net after another firm said Leigh-on-Sea was "too far from Maldon " Arranged appointment and Wally and another nice guy turned up as agreed They managed to replace boards with minimal fuss and screwed them in place where previously just stapled . Good job for reasonable price”

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.
