Strengths

  • Checkatrade shows 9.96 out of 10 from 200 reviews with membership since April 2019 and a 2024 Roofer of the Year award, all checked on 3 September 2026 [2].

  • The firm's site offers free no-obligation quotes, a 10-year written guarantee and no payment until you are satisfied, and names its company number and VAT registration [1].

  • Google shows a 4.8 rating from 25 reviews on 3 September 2026, backing the Checkatrade record with a second source [4].

Limitations

  • Companies House shows an active proposal to strike off for this company on 3 September 2026, which you should check is resolved before paying a deposit [3].

  • No public liability amount is published, so insurance is scored as insufficient evidence rather than as a failing; the written guarantee is recorded separately [1].
