How do I spot a dodgy roofer in the UK?

Quick answer. Six warning signs: (1) demands a deposit, (2) cold-knocks the door, (3) won’t put quote in writing, (4) won’t show Public Liability proof, (5) gives a verbal-only guarantee, (6) lives off-area and uses a mobile-only number.

What we typically see on West Yorkshire roofs

West Yorkshire roof-stock is dominated by stone-slate and Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terrace stock through Leeds (LS6/7/8), Bradford (BD1/7/8/9), Halifax, and Huddersfield. Stone-slate match is the single most-common heritage re-roof job here.

Local weather notes. Pennine wet-Atlantic weather — moss growth, valley leaks, and lead-flashing failure are recurring problems on older stock.

Approved Document L 2022 sets the thermal performance baseline for new roofs (U ≤ 0.16 W/m²K pitched, ≤ 0.18 flat). On flat roofs, BS 6229:2018 sets the design and falls standard. Eco Roofers will guide you through any Building Control notification needed on your job.
