I'd recommend Dick too, he replaced my entire roof 4 years ago - he was far cheaper than the local big names and is a great guy. I will be using him on my extension next year

we used town and County twice for our house. the first time, he did a 'valley' between two roof sections and did a good job. the second time, we called him out to give a quote for a leak. The quote was nearly twice what somebody else quoted. We phoned him up to say we would prefer to use him, but couldn't understand why his quote was twice. He phoned me back to say that he had been reading it off the wrong piece of paperwork, and had given us somebody else's quote. However, that evening I found out that he'd already left a message on my other half's mobile saying that he had doubled up on the tiles needed and got his materials estimate wrong. We lost faith in him because this was two completely different stories - I think he just put in a high quote to see if we were stupid enough to do it!

It often amazes me when tradesmen bump up prices in the hope that Joe Public will just accept what they are quoted. Good tradesmen who do a good job for a fair price will always get work. Shysters will get their reputation trashed by abusing the naivety of customers. It is almost as though some tradesmen treat every customer as an idiot.
