How to choose a roofer without getting stung
Roofing attracts doorstep selling because the customer can't see the work. These are the checks that actually reduce the risk.
Based in Hampton (TW12), HRD Roofing and Building takes roofing work within a genuine 15-mile radius of our base across West London and North Surrey.
We keep separate local pages only where we have something specific to say about an area. For everywhere else inside the radius, the service pages cover what the job involves, how we inspect and quote, and the questions people ask most. If you are unsure whether your street is inside our radius, call 07748 750711 with your postcode and we will tell you straight away. Every visit starts with a free on-site look at the roof and a written quote.

Roofing attracts doorstep selling because the customer can't see the work. These are the checks that actually reduce the risk.
Ask for the public liability certificate showing the insurer, policy number, cover level and expiry date, then ring the insurer or broker to confirm it's live. Check the company or trading name on Companies House, verify the address independently, and never pay a large deposit in cash.
Repair prices track access and skill, not the size of the damaged area. A slipped tile reached from a roof ladder is the cheapest job on the roof. A chimney re flash is one of the dearest, because it needs a working platform and lead work that has to be right first time.
