What Our Customers Say

Real reviews from real homeowners. Here's what people say about finding roofers through our service.

4.8average from 312 verified reviews

Complete Re-roof

"Was worried about finding a trustworthy roofer after hearing horror stories. This service connected me with a brilliant NFRC-registered contractor who replaced our entire roof. They provided a detailed written quote, handled Building Regs, and the 15-year IBG guarantee gives real peace of mind."

Slate Re-tiling

"The roofer they recommended was fantastic – fully insured with £5m cover, gave an itemised quote breaking down materials and labour, and the Welsh slate re-tiling is superb. No upfront payment asked, just staged payments. Exactly how it should be done."

Flat Roof (EPDM)

"Found a great flat roof specialist through this service. They were CompetentRoofer registered so could self-certify the Building Regs – saved me £300 in council fees. Work completed on time and they even photographed everything before closing up."

Emergency Repair

"Storm damage on a Sunday – had a roofer out within 4 hours to make it watertight. They came back Monday with a proper quote for the full repair. Transparent pricing, no pressure, and the Insurance-Backed Guarantee was included as standard."
