Our roofers have a wealth of knowledge spanning over 45 years of experience solely as roofers, we do not claim to be anything other than experienced roofers.
We are pleased and proud to share that our senior apprentice was chosen to attend the Screwfix Apprentice of the Year final in May 2023 having been chosen as one of the final 10 in the country and has recently completed his apprenticeship gaining Distinction.
Where possible we ensure our roofers attend training courses to equip the team with the latest materials and knowledge base. We have most recently completed courses to become Approved Contractors for Elasto-Kote Liquid Roofing System which carries a 15 year manufacturers guarantee.

We have a specialist lead worker who can complete any large lead work projects.
We can install Velux windows and drop or maintain Chimneys.
Our senior roofers have completed the Personal Track Training DC and AC for Network Rail and our other employees are booked onto the training in the coming months. One of our senior roofers worked directly for Network Rail as a roofer for approximately 12 years prior to working for us, his knowledge of trackside working and health and safety is invaluable.
Over the past seven years we have mainly worked for Maintenance companies, providing assessments and estimations for roofing work in all areas of the North West, Midlands and Wales.
We understand the working environment of maintenance companies and project works, including the procedures of working alongside and maintaining strong communication with project managers and other contractors.

We pride ourselves in meeting all timeframes, despite weather conditions or distance. We provide a comprehensive report which always includes photographs for the client of any completed work or roofing work quotations. We are also able to provide a Drone Survey or Drone evidence of work where required.
Our work is guaranteed to be of the highest standard.
We are willing to undertake any size of job, large or small, we have managed substantial developments, bespoke constructions and complex structures alongside the smaller domestic work.
We follow the ethos that no job is too small, as every job matters to the client and we always try to encourage maintenance of properties to avert crisis.

I hope this offers an insight into our company and we look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
We are pleased and proud to inform you, Scott Thornton Roofing Contractors are now accredited as Competent Roofers in the NFRC (National Federation Roofing Contractors)
Roofing contractors who are registered on the NFRC Competent Persons scheme are able to save themselves and their clients time and money by self-certifying their own roof refurbishment works.
The rigorous inspection process to achieve registered contractor status means that your residential and commercial clients have peace of mind – that their work is being carried out safely to the relevant ISO standards and they will have the right documentation when it comes to sell their property.
The government’s CPS framework allows roofing contractors to self-certify that their work complies with Building Regulations. This saves clients time and money, as they would otherwise have to arrange a Building Control inspection to get the work approved.
We are also pleased to be able to offer an insurance backed guarantee with Installsure, for all our large project.
This gives our clients extra confidence in using us as primary roofing contractors for all you roofing needs.’
