Hello all. Wasn't sure if I should continue with my first post re above. So I apologise in advance for restarting the same as a new post.
I called 10 roofers from the nfrc website and only one person answered the phone. Have left msgs for others but no luck so far. This one roofer came, looked out from dormer window, from outside and the actual room where the water has come thru. He said that it is the valley. There is just one Valley at the front. He says that this is because the roof is old. It's wear and tear according to him. I did get in touch with insurance company and they told me to ascertain the cause and if it's due to this weather they are happy to pay. They also said that only one quote is necessary but for building work in the house I will have to provide two quotes.
I felt that this roofer is reluctant to say that is due to weather. As I have said before we did have a leakage some yrs ago again during similar circumstances. My husband fixed it. No idea what he did but we have had no problem since then until now.
See the pictures of the house Pl. The water comes in the room below the attic room.
He is also registered with checkatrade.i looked him up and he is highly rated in terms of workmanship, quality and pricing.
I'm a bit worked up because the small bulge in the ceiling is really big now and bits of plaster hv fallen. With bleak weather forecast I'm very afraid.
The way I feel at present is that let him give me a quote and ask him to carry out the work.i think allbuilders n roofers are busy with work right now bcause of damage due to recent weather. I did ask for a rough idea of cost. He said about £1100.
Any comments welcome.
