Hornet Roofing in short

Hornet Roofing is a Telford family firm trading since the turn of the century, offering Firestone EPDM flat roofs with round-the-clock emergency call-outs across Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport and nearby towns. NVQ qualifications and manufacturer approvals are listed on its own site, more openness on competence than most rivals give. This review rates that long family record as the firm's clearest draw.

Customers rate the firm below the leaders on Google across a mid-sized base, with phone, form and email contact on the site. The emergency line is the firm's standout service feature, even with costs unpublished. What counts against Hornet Roofing, in our judgement, is blank paperwork: no insurance details, prices or VAT position are published, and no company record was found.

Questions about Hornet Roofing

Is Hornet Roofing any good?

On the evidence, it suits EPDM jobs from a long-running family firm: it sits sixth in our Telford table, names its Firestone system, and answers round the clock. The gaps are a lower review score and no published cover or prices. Ask for proof of cover and an itemised quote before booking.

Is Hornet Roofing registered with a roofing scheme?

NVQ qualifications and manufacturer approvals are stated on its own site, but neither is a public register you can search [1]. No CORC, NFRC or TrustMark entry was found, so we show those as can't be sourced. Ask the firm for proof of any scheme and check it yourself.

What does Hornet Roofing charge?

No prices, call-out terms or VAT position are published on the site [1]. Since round-the-clock call-outs are offered, ask what the call-out costs and what it covers, then get labour, materials and VAT split out in an itemised written quote before you agree anything.

Where does Hornet Roofing work?

The firm works across Telford plus Shrewsbury, Newport, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge and nearby towns [1]. Send your postcode with the job list when you enquire, to confirm you are covered and to agree who attends out of hours and what the visit covers.

How is Hornet Roofing ranked?

It ranks sixth of the ten flat roof specialists in our September round, picked for EPDM flat roofs from a long-running family firm. Its review score trails the leaders, so weigh that beside the score. Read the full review, then ask for the itemised quote.
