We need the flashing repaired to chimney. Currently have builder in doing other jobs who has quoted for this, but we are unhappy about the fact that he proposes doing this work from ladders only (including roof ladder). The house is Victorian and has high ceilings so although two storey is pretty tall.
Am I being overcautious in being reluctant to accept his quote? Things are further complicated by the fact that we own only a flat in the property and are hoping the other two freeholders will share the cost. Obviously to encourage them to do this the lower the cost the better. We own the upstairs flat so we , at present, are the only ones affected by the leaking chimney flashing which is letting in damp to the chimney breast.
