Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
Detailed reviews
Roof was good, but the rest of the work was unsupervised, and two workmen often failed to attend. Gutters were not cleaned, mesh around solar panels not fixed properly and cleaning up was poor. I would not recommend this company.
We had new lead flashing placed beneath our balcony in September 2024 which was supposed to prevent a small leak into a bedroom below. It was very expensive for the two hours of work and new lead, but we wanted it to work. Gavin was very keen to assure us that we had a long guarantee of ten years. The first heavy and windy rain storm came in early January 2025 and it leaked. Since then we have tried texting (6 texts over a two week period, all unanswered); emailing (same lack of any reply) and telephoning (no answer but no reply to my message). We have been gaslighted completely. Terrible.

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.
