I am angry and upset that I have been “taken for a ride” by a firm of roofers, who came cold calling. Yes, yes, yes! I am a total IDIOT! I know full well not to employ cold callers, however plausible. However, I’ve had a severe lesson – they’ve done a rotten job, which will need re-doing, and I’ve given them £925! – There is still a huge visible hole in the guttering, and although they promised to come back and fix it…… of course they haven’t!
It was a cowboy company calling itself TIP TOP ROOFING AND PROPERTY – NOT to be confused with another local firm, based n Swanage, which does have 9.7 excellent reviews on CheckATrade, and the good one is called “Tip Top Roofing & Property Maintenance Ltd.” Both companies flit around in little white vans with Tip Top Roofing on them. The “baddies” SAY their names are Lee Cooper and Danny, but they equally give false telephone and numbers, non existent email addresses, and probably a false address in Ringwood Road, Poole.
The real company is terribly upset, as they are now getting bad reviews attributed to his company. It’s a really dirty trick, isn’t it? DO NOT GET CAUGHT BY THE SAME FIRM, as they are very plausible.
