Highlights
"Reliable, professional, reasonable and fully completed work at a very high standard. I am very satisfied with the work completed on my flat roof."
"Noticed a damp patch on the bedroom ceiling so rang the company. They were round within half an hour. Found the problem came next day first thing and removed all the ridge tiles then replaced the old and loose cement and refitted them using the modern dry system. Cleaned up all mess and the workers were polite and friendly and efficient.."
"They gave advice and replaced an iron gutter and installed new downpipe. The person doing the quote seemed to know what he was talking about and made some improvements to the existing design when they did it. The job was done quickly and cleared up. They also confirmed that the rest of the roof looked in good condition, so I don't think they try to "drum up trade" needlessly. Overall very happy and looking to use them on another property."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
