Highlights
"Arrived early which helped me no end & was gone within 45 minutes. All very clean & tidy so will recommend to others. & didn't tread mud & grit from outside."
"Dave was absolutely brilliant. The standard of work, friendliness, and communication were all second to none. I genuinely couldn’t recommend anyone more highly than The Sweep. Kay was also incredibly helpful and friendly, keeping in touch throughout the whole process. I enquired and she got back to me within minutes, booking me in for the very next morning. Pricing was clear and provided at the time of booking, which I really appreciated. I was left feeling completely satisfied and happy with the service. Thank you both so much — I would definitely use you again!"

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 The Sweep before you contact them.
