We had broken roof tiles and a leaking gutter. Kelvin turned up promptly and surveyed the roof. He then arranged for his team to do the work quickly and efficiently. Overall a hassle free experience and I can highly recommend AA Abbey Roofing.

Excellent job completed on a new roof by Joe and Andrew. The weather wasn't very kind during the process, but they still turned up every day. Thank you all for a Excellent job.
When you have a large, high roof, live in a very exposed area on top of a hill and live in Wales! then you can only imagine the uncertainty and worry you have when your roof needs to be replaced. We need not have worried as Kelvin and Joseph made the whole thing run so smoothly, they were friendly and approachable. There was no fuss and in addition the job was completed much sooner than we expected. We were given a very competitive estimate which Kelvin stuck too. The quality of work was 5 star. My wife and myself are so pleased we have had the roof done. We certainly would recommend AA Abbey

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
