Purchasing a new roof is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the stakes are significant.

\n\n

A roof is the most important part of any structure, and everything inside it, including the integrity of the structure itself, relies on these works being carried out correctly.

\n\n

Service providers are often fragmented owner-operators with limited trading history, and there are legislative gaps that increase risk. Roofing companies defaulting on their quoted obligations due to installation failure or financial stressors is commonplace, and consumers ultimately bear these costs.

\n\n

The purpose of this purchasing guide is to mitigate as much risk as possible before purchase, provide a clear end-to-end understanding of the roofing process, outline consumer rights and obligations, and summarise potential courses of action and available remedies should challenges arise.
