Why Quality and Trust Matter in Building and Roofing

Before choosing a contractor, we want you to have total confidence in who you’re trusting with your home. Therefore, we invite you to read our genuine 5-star Google reviews and verified Federation of Master Builders credentials. We’ve also included an essential checklist, so you can be confident your home is in safe hands and meets current regulations. As well as highlighting the serious and costly risks of hiring 'rogue traders', in today’s industry.


Questions to Ask Your Builder. Before committing to a contractor, make sure you ask:

- Are they fully insured? Check that their insurance is appropriate for the work being undertaken.

- Is their work covered by guarantees?

- Are they properly qualified and accredited? Ask to see evidence of relevant accreditations. Trading standards recommend an up-to-date Federation of Master Builders accreditation.

-Will the work comply with current regulations? Do they have established relationships with local councils?

- Can they demonstrate a track record of reliable work?

- Can they demonstrate relevant experience? Ask about previous projects similar to yours.

- Can they put you in touch with a recent local client or show a project currently in progress?


• ​The Rise of Rogue Traders: The dangers of uninsured, inexperienced or non-compliant companies can leave homeowners with expensive repairs, unfinished work and legal complications. At Manterfield Building & Roofing Limited, over 30% of our entire workload last year was dedicated to repairing work left behind by 'cowboy' operators! This is why we believe choosing a contractor should involve more than simply comparing quotes.

• ​The Cost of Unapproved Structural work": Understanding how unapproved structural work can lead to complications when selling or remortgaging a property. Buyers, solicitors and mortgage lenders may request evidence of compliance, and missing documentation can lead to delays, additional costs or difficulties completing a sale.

​"Without building control sign-off, homeowners risk a lower resale value and major issues securing buyer mortgages." Unfortunately, we have witnessed one too many real-world examples of this.

• ​Beware of "too good to be true" pricing: Suspiciously cheap quotes often hide corner-cutting, uninsured labour, or unexpected additional charges down the line. Be cautious of contractors demanding substantial upfront payments without clear contractual terms. Always ask for a written quotation, an agreed scope of work and a transparent payment schedule before committing.


Choosing the right builder shouldn't be a gamble. We don't just promise quality—we prove it through regular, independent site inspections carried out by the Federation of Master Builders. We are proud to have maintained our accreditation for 25 years! Trading Standards endorses the Federation of Master Builders through their joint Trading Standards Checked partnership, which ensures every listed contractor undergoes rigorous vetting.

We also have long-standing working relationships with local authorities, including Barnsley, Leeds, Wakefield and Sheffield councils, reflecting our experience working across the region.

As a family-run business, we’re incredibly proud of our 25 years of Federation of Master Builders membership and over a decade of 5-star Google reviews. Built on generations of family values, quality workmanship and trust, our reputation means everything to us. We’re committed to giving every customer the confidence and peace of mind they deserve, from start to finish.
