How we list businesses
Where the listings come from, what each check means and how often we check again.
We list 31 roofers that work in the Cotswolds. Listings were last checked on 9 October 2026.
How a firm gets on the register
- We find the firm on its own website, on Companies House or on a trade register.
- We confirm that it is trading: a working website, an active company record or a current register entry.
- We search the public registers and record the date of each check.
- We check each listing again at least every 90 days.
What a check looks like
This mark means we found the firm on that register on the date shown. Select it to open the register and see the entry yourself.
Where the data comes from
We build the list from primary sources: firms’ own websites, Companies House and the public registers of trade bodies. We do not copy listings, reviews or photos from other directories.
Each firm’s page lists every source we used, with the date we checked it.
Who we list
We list a firm when it says it does roofer work in the Cotswolds and we can confirm it is trading, from a working website, an active company record or a current trade register entry. We leave out firms whose website is gone and whose company is dissolved.
What the checks mean
A check means we found the firm on that register on the date shown. Each check links to the register, so you can see it yourself.
If we did not find a firm on a register, we show nothing for that register. We never say a firm is “not registered”, because a search can miss a firm that trades under a different name.
We do not check the quality of the work, prices or insurance. Always ask for proof of insurance and a written quote.
Which towns get a page
A town gets its own page when at least 3 listed firms cover it and we have written a useful local guide for it. We have 13 town pages now. Smaller places appear on the page of the nearest town.
How we sort listings
On a town page, firms based in the area come first. Then come firms based nearby, sorted by distance. Firms with no distance come last, in alphabetical order. Nobody pays for position.
How often we check
We check each listing at least every 90 days. Firms can ask us to correct or remove a listing at any time.
