Detailed reviews
Chose SL Alm from recommendations, Darren arrived when arranged and carried out my bathroom renovation with expert precision- following our plans to the letter.Nothing was too much trouble for Darren.Once finished he cleaned and tidied up and we fully recommend his services 100%
Darren's communication was very good throughout. A day and time was agreed and they showed up. The work was done to a good standard. Very happy and have arranged for Darren to come and do further work in the house.
Very efficient, clean, tidy, good communication. Did a first class job of handing our internal doors, skirting board and architrave etc. Highly Recommended

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.
