I just contacted someone from the councils trusted trader, hope to hear back from them soon. Many thanks for the help.

Again thank you all so very much, you have helped enormously. We will ask for recommendations. Eurocell was one of the brands this chap mentioned, but then said he would use GAP ltd. The not having a real warranty is what is putting us off the most. He might be really great, but then we have no...

Oops edit, posted again as I thought the last post had not gone on.

Hi Alastairreid, thanks for your response. Yes the slates are nailed onto sarking boards. It would be nicer to keep what we have, as it is aesthetically nicer to look at, but a lot of wood would need to be replaced and it would require painting every few years which we would end up paying...

Both the bungalow and garage have high pitched roofs. I added a photo of the slate. The roofline comes down over the windows slightly, the roof line guy said he could cut the ends of the rafters slightly and run the soffit up along the rafters at that angle. It is a slightly different roof to...

Front of house, a pic we managed to take on a rare good weather day. I can take a close up of the roof once it stops raining. Windows are not orange, the camera was set to vivid for scenery and wildlife.

Many thanks for all of your replies. We definitely don't live in a mansion, :D we have a 3 bed detached bungalow with largish detached garage. It is a fair bit of roof line to cover, but quotes did seem high to us too. Coopa, thank you very much for your advice, that has helped a lot in regards...

I just thought I would add that Anglian Home Improvements quoted £20,000 for the job, then kept reducing the quote for cash and to advertise them in some way etc. They eventually went down to just under £13,000. It still seemed way over priced and their sales tactics were worse than Safe Style...

Hi freddiemercurystwin, thanks for that, I will hold off for now. :)

Hi diy_fun_uk, I did see that post, it does help a bit. I think the option to not cap wood is preferable. But I still cannot find any help regarding the slate roof and whether we would be asking for trouble with regards to that or not. We do need to make a decision today really, otherwise they...

Hi Bosswhite, thanks for your response. I think we want the zero maintenance for many years with the UPVC, we both hate getting up ladders and painting. I suppose we could pay someone to do that for us, but painting is messy, depending on who does it of course. lol It does seem ridiculous to us...

Hello. We have a house with a slate roof and the fascia boards on the property are starting to rot, so we think it might be good to have UPVC fascia boards, as it will look tidy and be low maintenance. Two quotes are different in that one company wants to remove old wood and replace with new...

http://www.showerdoc.com/shower-spares/aqualisa/AQUAL-50-20-Aqualisa---White-Varispray-Fixed-Head-(50-20) Hi. I am in the process of re-tiling a shower cubicle and am keeping the aqualiser shower head and temperature control. What I would like to do is remove the shower head to avoid...
