Highlights
"Very happy with all the work and maintenance undertaken on my roof. Colin works hard in challenging weather."
"Thanks again finlay colin from cbroofing.co.uk"
"Colin of CB Roofing carried out a really excellent repair on my roof as water was coming through the bedroom ceiling. He took before and after photographs so that I could see the extent of the damp patch under the felt before the repair. He is very hard working and knowledgeable and he turned up on time and quoted me a very competitive price for the repair. I would be very happy to recommend Colin to anyone needing an experienced and reliable roofer"

Colin did a nice job with a changing scope of works which was turned round quickly. Communications were good. Would recommend.

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.
