Hornet Roofing in short
Hornet Roofing is a family-owned Telford roofing contractor listing roof cleaning alongside installations, repairs, re-pointing, leadwork and Velux windows, with emergency call-outs around the clock. NVQ roofing qualifications and manufacturer approvals appear on the firm's own site. The firm trades without a limited company behind the name. Installations, repairs, re-pointing, leadwork and Velux windows round out a full roofer offer.
Customer reviews stand at 4.5 from 25 Google reviews, the softest review record in this round. Our judgement is that Hornet suits cleaning from roofers who can fix what they find on the way. Prices, trading history and insurance detail cannot be checked, which counts against it. Quotation requests run by phone, form and email, and the site carries testimonials with contact routes.
