Highlights
"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"
"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."

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.
Check the Architects RegisterSmart checks
Before you hire an architect
Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
