Highlights

"Ben and his son were great from start to finish. Honest, trustworthy and reliable!!"

Wendy WTrustATrader5.0 rating

"Ben and his assistant very promptly and very kindly offered to help out with a problem with bird and grass in my chimney reusing another piece of equipment to make sure that this did not happen again. Ben also diagnosed some ridge tile pointing that needed remediating and promised to return when I needed him. I found this very honest and easy to deal with would highly recommend."

Out of the ordinary repair to old plastic roof. He sussed out what to do, gave us a quote, then did it on the first dry day for the quoted price. Now had heavy rain has properly tested it.

Ben is fantastic. Really kind and clear, was realistic about the work and ensured I was happy with every step before moving to the next. His word is excellent quality but at a really reasonable price. An absolute legend!

Smart checks

Before you hire a roofer

Never 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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
