Looking for a good local roofer

[sacko]

Hi I have found a small leak in the roof of my 1930's semi detached three bed house. Had a roofer look at it and he says I have "nail sickness" causing the slate tiles to slip. I'm not disputing that as being a roofer he would know! He has suggested a new roof and has quoted just over £5k to remove existing roof re-felt and batton and roof to be finished with carbon slate. Firstly is this a good price and second could anyone recomend a good reliable roofer in the Bridgend area of South Wales? (thats not to say the guy i I had to quote isn't good its just that I dont know him and I just want to make sure my money is well spent so another quote would be required) its not just price he has to be reliable and thorough so recomendations are also important.

Regards
Sacko

£5k sounds very reasonable for a 3 bed detached house! Try Camilleri Roofing for a second opinion/quote they will cover Bridgend and are very reputable.

That`s cuz it`s a semi . I know they don`t have many in Wales - it`s all pit cottage terraces and pit owners mansions

sounds dear to me???? A 70m2 roof using cembrit or eternit slates should be no more than 3k all in..

Hmmm.. thanks for pointing out my error, no wonder I haven't progressed from the cottage to the mansion!
