The UK's Top 100 Roofers for 2026
You rarely get a proper look at your own roof, so choosing a roofer comes down to trust and to what earlier customers say. These are the 100 roofers across the UK with the strongest Google record, ranked on their rating and on how many reviews stand behind it.
The best roofers in the UK for 2026, based on Google reviews, are York Roofing & Guttering in York (5.0 from 540 reviews), Golden Roofing Expert Ltd in Westminster (5.0 from 489 reviews) and NK Roofline Limited in Saint Helens (5.0 from 472 reviews). Below are all 100, ranked, from 51 counties across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
How the Top 100 Were Chosen
We started with all 3,684 roofers in our directory and kept only those with a Google rating of 4.8 or higher, at least 50 Google reviews and a Google profile that is still open. That left 735 roofers. They were then put in order by our ranking score, which takes the star rating and weights it by the number of reviews behind it. Two roofers on 5.0 are not equal if one has 300 reviews and the other has 60, because a perfect score is far harder to hold across 300 roofs. That matters a great deal in roofing. A re-roof or a new flat roof is a big job that most households buy only rarely, so the experience of many earlier customers is some of the best evidence you have.
No more than three roofers could come from any one county, with ten allowed for Greater London. Without that limit the list could fill up from a handful of busy areas and leave whole regions with nobody on it. Nobody can pay to be included. Every place in the 2026 list comes from public Google reviews and nothing else.

Where the Winners Are
The 2026 Top 100 comes from 51 counties: 81 in England, 12 in Scotland, 5 in Wales and 2 in Northern Ireland. Greater London has 10 of the 100, and no other county has more than three, so the list reflects the whole of the UK rather than only its biggest cities.
Between them the 100 hold 20,460 Google reviews, with an average rating of 4.98 out of 5.
What Great Roofers Do That Others Skip
Most of a roofer's work ends up where you will never look, under the tiles, behind the lead and above the ceiling. The best roofers make it visible in other ways. They show you photos of the fault, explain what they found in plain words, and tell you when a repair will do rather than selling a whole new roof for one local problem.
On a full re-roof the paperwork matters as much as the tiles. In England and Wales a new covering on a pitched or flat roof may have to meet the building regulations and be signed off. Roofers who belong to the National Federation of Roofing Contractors' CompetentRoofer scheme, or to NAPIT, can certify that work without you making an application, and if nobody signs it off you may be missing certificates you need when you come to sell. A careful roofer will also raise the awkward points before you ask. Changing what the roof is covered with will probably need approval, a much heavier covering can mean the rafters need checking first, and re-covering a roof should come with better insulation. In Scotland and Northern Ireland the building control systems are separate, so ask who will speak to the council. The thresholds are set out in our guide to roof work and building regulations.
Leadwork is a good test of skill. When the lead around a chimney pulls away from the brickwork, the proper fix is to rake out and repoint the mortar joint that holds it, and mastic is not an approved sealant for that joint. The Lead Sheet Training Academy keeps a public directory of people who have trained with it, graded from Level 1 to Level 4, so you can check whether a firm has a trained leadworker. Our page on roof flashing covers the faults that come up most.
The best roofers plan for safety and wildlife too. The Health and Safety Executive says sloping roofs need scaffolding with edge protection unless the task takes only minutes, so expect access to appear on the quote, often as its own line. Government guidance for England says all bats and their roosts are protected by law, and roof work is among the activities that can disturb them. Before you sign, ask for these.
- A written quote rather than an estimate, with the work, materials and scaffolding broken down
- Proof of insurance, covering public liability and, if the roofer employs staff, employers' liability
- The name of any scheme or trade body they belong to, which you then check on that body's own register
- Details of the guarantee in writing, and whether it would still protect you if the firm stopped trading
- A payment plan with a deposit of no more than 25 per cent and the balance due when the work is finished
Our guide to picking a roofing company you can trust takes each of these checks in turn.

Frequently Asked Questions About the UK's Top 100 Roofers
Who is the best roofer in the UK?
Based on Google reviews, the highest ranked roofer in our UK Top 100 for 2026 is York Roofing & Guttering in York, with 5.0 stars from 540 reviews, followed by Golden Roofing Expert Ltd and NK Roofline Limited. The full ranked list of 100 is on this page.
How were the UK's top 100 roofers chosen?
Every roofer had to have a Google rating of 4.8 or more, at least 50 Google reviews and a Google profile that is still open. Of the 3,684 roofers we list, 735 met that bar. They were ranked by a score that weights the rating by the number of reviews, so a 5.0 from hundreds of customers ranks above a 5.0 from a few dozen. Each county could have no more than three places, and Greater London ten.
Can a roofer pay to be in the top 100?
No. A place cannot be bought, and nothing paid for anywhere on this site has any effect on who is included or in what order. The only things that count are a roofer's public Google rating, the number of reviews behind it and whether the Google profile is open. A roofer whose rating or review count falls below the bar simply does not qualify.
What are the signs of a dodgy roofer?
Be wary of anyone who knocks on your door having spotted a loose tile from the street, pushes you to decide today, wants cash or a large deposit, or will not give a business address. Other warning signs are a one line quote with no breakdown, a whole new roof sold for a single local fault, and no answer on who handles building regulations for a re-roof. Get at least three written quotes for the same work.
How can you tell if a roofer has done a good job?
Do not climb up to check. From the ground, look for slipped, cracked or missing tiles and gutters that overflow or sag. From the loft hatch, if it is safe to look, check for daylight through the boards. Inside, watch upstairs ceilings for damp patches after heavy rain. In England and Wales a re-roof should also come with a building regulations compliance certificate or building control sign off, and any guarantee should be in writing.
How long does a new roof last?
It depends mostly on the covering. National cost guides put concrete tiles at about 40 to 60 years, clay tiles at 60 to 100 years and natural slate at 80 years or more. Flat roofs last less, with felt often lasting 10 to 25 years and EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass typically 20 to 40 years. Slate and clay are heavier than concrete tiles, so switching material can mean checking the roof timbers first.
How much does a new roof cost in the UK?
National cost guides put a full re-roof on a semi detached house at roughly £7,000 to £11,000 in concrete tiles and £9,500 to £15,000 in clay tiles, including scaffolding, with natural slate costing more again. The size of the roof, access, the number of chimneys and the state of the timbers under the old covering all move the price, and London and the South East sit above the UK average. Prices rise over time, so get several written quotes for the same job.
