Parkwood Roofing Ltd exposed by BBC Rogue Traders

Matt Allwright and Dan Penteado exposed the dodgy roofing firm as Parkwood Roofing Ltd was brought into question and shamed after BBC Rogue Traders exposed the company for failing to ensure that they provide standard building requirements. The Company is being investigated for misconduct. In the programme, BBC Rogue Traders exposed a roofing company called Parkwood Roofing Ltd for trying to charge for work that either didn't exist or they had grossly overpriced.

What is extremely disturbing is that the roofing association and Federation of Master Builders that approved Parkwood Roofing for accreditation to the Federation of Master Builders, didn't inform the Federation of Master Builders that there had been a number of complaints against the member company.

I had already expressed my concerns that Parkwood Roofing Ltd in Epsom, Surrey would further damage the roofing industry - a charge that was vigorously defended by the director Trevor Woodcraft. Woodcraft told the BBC: "Complaints against my company are false, and I can tell the BBC to f**k off if they think they are damaging my reputation!"

Clearly, Parkwood Roofing Ltd isn't working to trading standards and it is not acceptable that just one 'rogue trader' has slipped through the net...afterall, there was not one, but two levels of vetting that have clearly failed, building regulation and customer satisfaction.
