Finding a trustworthy, experienced and reputable roof maintenance contractor is essential to ensure your roof is properly cared for, especially for traditional or heritage properties. Here are some tips for choosing a reputable contractor in the South West of England:
- Look for Specialists in Traditional Roofing:
Choose a company with expertise in heritage and period roofing, including clay tiles, stone slating and lime mortar work. At West Country Tiling, we have been working on historic buildings across Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset and the wider South West for over 35 years. - Check Qualifications and Accreditations:
Reputable contractors should be fully insured and qualified. Look for memberships in recognised trade bodies such as the NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors), Trustmark, or the Heritage Craft Alliance. - Ask for Examples of Previous Work:
A good contractor will be happy to show you photos or references from past projects, especially those similar to your property type. - Get a Detailed Quotation:
Avoid vague estimates. A trustworthy roofer will carry out a site visit and provide a written quote that clearly explains the scope of work. - Consider Local Reputation:
Look for companies with a long-standing presence in the South West. Local knowledge is invaluable when it comes to sourcing appropriate materials and understanding regional roofing styles.
