Roofing company plan to win over the 52% of the British public who don’t trust roofers

According to a recent survey, roofers and builders wound up bottom of the pile when Britons were asked which group of traders they trusted the most. With electricians top of the list gaining 80% of people’s support, roofers only managed to pull in just over half of that figure, with a staggeringly poor 48%.

Above them sat the likes of carpenters, plumbers, and heating engineers, with an impressive 70-75% of public faith. It makes us ask the question: ‘why are people so sceptical of roofers and builders?’

One company in particular are striving to change this reputation single-handedly. Starting with the North East of England, Findley Roofing and Building will not stop until they have changed the ideologies of people nationwide. They have big plans that they have already begun putting into motion, hoping to further enhance the image of their reputable company.

They’ve recently scrapped one job role and replaced it with a much more effective one. There will be no more quantity surveyors, and instead three contracts managers who will not only take over the previous job description, but they’ll also manage the whole project throughout, ensuring better communication and management on every job.

Findley Roofing and Building believe this will better enable customers to follow the process of the work they’ve requested, and if they have any questions they can speak directly to those in charge. The contracts managers will be there before, during, and after the work is completed, and will be with the customer every step of the way.

The North East company are hoping that this new approach will have a positive rippling effect across the country. Grant Findley, the company’s Managing Director said: “It saddens us that roofers and builders have such a negative stigma, when we do everything in our power to create good work and happy customers. We’ve made it our mission to raise that devastatingly low statistic, and quickly.’

According to Alzheimer’s Society, around 850,000 people in the UK currently have dementia. Those over the age of 65 are mainly affected, with an astonishing 1 in 14 over this age living with dementia.

In response to these shocking figures, and understanding that a wide range of their own customers are living with dementia, Grant Findley, Director of Findley Roofing and Building, decided to increase awareness within his staff. Last week, front line staff and managers from the company visited St Mary’s Convent Care Home to learn more about Alzheimer’s, Dementia and other illnesses affecting our elderly.

The team got to see the conditions first hand and Findley Roofing and Building is now sponsoring the convent and the wonderful sisters and carers who do such amazing work for the residents. The convent desperately needed funding to help them maintain the buildings and facilities. They have been struggling for a number of years to carry out the upgrades the care home so vitally needs. With Findley Roofing and Building’s help, the care home can ensure the building is maintained and they can continue to offer a place of safety and comfort to their residents.

Findley Roofing and Building are sponsoring the convent for the coming year and are looking to continue this funding over the next two years. The company’s Sales and Marketing Director presented a donation to the sisters, Marianne and the care home leaders earlier this month.

The company’s Director, Grant Findley, said, “Understanding all our different customers is something we place great importance on at Findley Roofing and Building. Dementia is something that affects so many people across the region, including some of our staff’s families, and we feel increasing awareness of this within our workforce is vitally important. We want to help St Mary’s Convent in any way we can.”
