How Do You Know If You’ve Hired the Right Tradesmen?

Unfortunately, the roofing industry is still plagued by ‘cowboy builders’—unqualified tradesmen who carry out poor-quality work, leaving customers with costly problems down the line. Many homeowners unknowingly give these individuals the opportunity to work on their properties, often due to a lack of awareness of the warning signs.

The term “cowboy builder” refers to those who are careless, untrustworthy, and cut corners at every opportunity. Choosing the wrong roofing company can result in substandard work, hidden costs, and even safety risks. But how can you tell the difference between a professional roofer and a rogue trader?

Common Signs of a Cowboy Roofer

Be cautious if a roofer:

• Refuses to provide a written estimate

• Requests payment upfront before any work is carried out

• Hesitates when asked for proof of public liability insurance

• Cannot provide references from satisfied customers

• Downplays the complexity of the job

  
  

If any of these red flags appear, it's best to look elsewhere. Your home deserves better.
