Highlights
"Cannot fault the service from Raise the Roof who were responsive, transparent and efficient. Martin was quick to reply, clear and straightforward on what was needed and (equally important) what was not. Used photos to show the state of the roof so I understood what was needed and why. They actioned the work quickly and kept me up to date on what they'd done with photos before, during and after. The whole team were friendly, helpful, engaged and passionate about their work. Exemplary and streets ahead of other roofers I used, even those with good scores on Checkatrade."
"Communicated well both prior to and during the job. Gave a very clear assessment of the condition of the roof with plenty of photos to demonstrate. Followed this up with his recommendation and quote for the cost. It was easy to compare this with other quotes and make my decision. The work was carried out quickly and efficiently with photos showing the completed work so that I could see clearly the before and after position. Very satisfied."
"Raise The Roof came to install lead under the gutter to prevent leaks into a bedroom. They were very careful not to damage any brickwork and to reinstall the gutters. They also noticed a couple of other problems such as a few loose slates and fixed those. They were in time both to check the problem out and then returning to fix it. Very professional and would definitely recommend."

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.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on Raise The Roof before you contact them.
