Stories like this are becoming far too common, and it’s the homeowners who pay the price.
Please, be careful who you hand your money over to.

That’s £65,000 gone for a roof that should not have cost more than £10,000
Not every contractor is the same, but taking a few extra steps before signing a contract can save you thousands. Check reviews, ask for references, make sure they’re insured, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
If you’re unsure about a quote or a contractor, we’re always happy to offer honest advice and a second opinion even if you don’t use AAA Roofing. We’d much rather help someone avoid making an expensive mistake than see another family ripped off.
