Replacement soakers and felt on dormer windows Clean tidy and courteous Highly recommended
Stephen and his time were very quick to quote and then do the work. The area was left clean and tidy and, importantly, stopped the leak!
I was immediately reassured by the prompt and courteous response I received from S & J Callaghan & Co. Mr Callaghan visited to assess the work needed to remedy an unexpected problem with downpipe and guttering. The cause was quickly identified and the work carried out exactly as agreed, as well as successfully tackling another problem I raised in the hope of a solution. Reliable, courteous with no fuss at a fair price, very pleased, I would highly recommend.

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.
