First Choice Roofing Contractors in short

First Choice Roofing Contractors is a Newport roofing firm with a dedicated flat-roof installations page, free no-obligation quotes and a written guarantee on workmanship. Checkatrade membership stretches back years, the site shows a national roofer award, and the limited company has been active for years. This review rates that paper trail, guarantee plus award plus company record, as the firm's clearest strength.

Customers rate the firm near full marks on two sources, Google and Checkatrade, a wider base than most rivals hold. Two phone numbers and an email sit on the site, with VAT registration stated. What counts against First Choice Roofing Contractors, in our judgement, is insurance: no cover details are published anywhere we checked, and no example rates sit beside the free-quote offer.
