Highlights
"Excellent work. On time. Estimated price met. Made nervous pets feel at ease. Recommended."
"RFC services were fantastic. They replaced an old stove with a new wood burner, lined the chimney & fitted a lovely hearth. John & the team in the shop were really helpful - thank you!"
"From the outset RFC Services were friendly and helpful. The quote was professionally delivered and easy to understand and we were able to negotiate sensibly around the initial quote. The installation was very well managed - dust=sheets everywhere and they met our requirement to leave the wallpaper around our old fireplace as undamaged as possible. We are extremely happy with the outcome. Our whole experience with RFC was stress-free and well managed. Obviously we would recommend them to anybody in our area looking to replace their fireplace or gas fire."

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.
