-- A newly published industry report has revealed significant regional differences in the quality and reliability of roofing contractors across the UK — offering valuable insights for homeowners planning roofing work in 2026.
The , published by LocalRoofer.directory, is being described as the most comprehensive analysis of roofing contractors ever conducted in Britain. The report examines over 10,000 roofing businesses and analyses more than 229,000 customer reviews, covering all 102 counties and regions across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Standout Regional Performers
Among the report’s key findings:
- Fermanagh & Omagh emerged as the highest-rated region in the UK, with a perfect 5.0★ average rating
- Greater London ranked highest for punctuality, with 41.2% of reviews highlighting on-time arrivals
- Belfast was named the most polite region, with 90.9% of reviews mentioning professionalism and courtesy
- Lisburn & Castlereagh topped both tidiness (60%) and value for money (46.7%)
These findings highlight how performance can vary widely depending on location — even within the same country.
A Strong Industry — With Regional Gaps
Nationally, UK roofing contractors achieved an average rating of 4.71 stars, indicating a generally high standard across the industry. However, the report emphasises that regional variation remains significant, meaning homeowners should still take care when selecting a contractor.
According to the report’s authors, while many areas perform exceptionally well, others lag behind in key areas such as punctuality, cleanliness, and overall customer satisfaction.
Northern Ireland Leads Overall
The report also found that Northern Ireland leads the UK overall, achieving the highest national average rating at 4.80★, followed by Wales (4.77★), Scotland (4.74★), and England (4.70★).
This suggests that smaller regional markets may be outperforming larger urban areas in consistency and service quality.
