Hi Alistair, We met on Saturday, I listed all the know problems and questioned the boss about other concerns that are not visible. He was very apologetic and insisted most of what was there such as the chimney flashing etc was just to keep the water out while he was away and more materials...

*****************UPDATE***************** The Boss is home from his break and not at all happy with what he has seen, I have only quickly spoke as I didn't have time to, until I meet with him tomorrow at 10AM. He agrees to most that all the ridges need coming off and doing properly, he...

Another problem spotted, whereby a what looks like broken hip ridge also filled with expanding foam.

@xfr When you say the sand part of a bonding gutter should not be seen, does that mean that the tiles from each roof should join with the boding gutter either side. If not what is the correct way to not show the sand strip? Could someone please explain what has to be done to meet regulations...

@Mw Roofing, Thanks...I'm convinced it will get sorted just might cost more than previously expected and it's definitely going to be a little stressful without a doubt! @Birminghamroofer, there's no stables on my land for these cowboys! UPDATE..... Thee week is passing quickly and the...

@alistairreid Thank you for explaining that, much appreciated!

@tony1851 Thank you for your comments, it sounds like sound advice. my mother really shouldn't even have to deal with such problems, this should all have been pointed out by the firm that did the roof before starting as mentioned earlier by others. @Alastairreid When you say the bonding...

@ tony1851 Why not, it looks to me that this should have all been done before they even started work. My mother was not informed, surely we are not to blame! why the three no's please explain? @all No one has mentioned the fact that the whole roof was replaced with just one scaffold tower...

@^woody^ thanks, we were not even aware of needing to contact the council for permission. This is something that the contractor never even mentioned. @ all On reflection, i think it's probably not a good idea linking to this forum but using all the very useful and insightful information...

@jackrae Just to clear that up, he would be responsible to contact the council and inform them not me or my mother? Thanks

@ ^woody^ and all who wish to reply. @ ^woody^ Thank you for your comments they are very helpful. I would say no work has been done after taking to the loft to view, though i do not know what should have been done, i do know that I can not only see daylight at the gully's which is going to...

@Xenon - It certainly is criminal if the Boss doesn't hire some one competent to correct the work / or even do it himself if he can! @ Nigel F - I hadn't even noticed that, you have good eye's. That neighbors house is council and they have only just put that new roof on they did all the...

Thanks very much for your comments so far... huh hmm...Sorry about that morning cuppa! It certainly is a dogs dinner, Its good to be able to gather additional opinions for his return. I hope he is as shocked by the work that the hired help has done as much as Me and the rest of you...

Hi There, I am searching for a little advice. My mother recently hired a company through mybuilder.com to have a complete new roof. It looks like they think they have finished as they just disappeared and took there stuff with them. When I went round to inspect, it the worst example of a...
