Thanks. It worth asking.

Thanks to you both. He seemed a lot more knowledgable to me (not that I'd know) but I'm glad you think he seems like legitimate.

To be honest I'm not sure. He spoke like it was just the broken tile but the proposed work sounds like it is more than one. The quote is £360 plus 20% vat so £432 in total. Does that sound about right for the work listed?

You don't by what I'm telling you? For what reason? Do you mean you think I'm lying? Why would I be doing this? Sorry. I do to know what eaves are and I can't take a picture of the guttering because I can't get up there to take it. He lifted the tiles over where the leak is showing in the...

Thanks. He took pictures as he went and has emailed me them. Here is the felt under the first two tiles. He also traced the water ingress back to the collapsed tile further up.

Yes. I didn't know that at the time. I had no idea how these things work or what they should or shouldn't have done. Obviously thanks to advice given here and google research I knew more what to look for this time.

Just to update this. Had a roofer come around this morning. He seemed to know what he was talking about. He took two tiles off and the felt under has rotted away leaving a hole. Followed the water ingress and found a tile further up has collapsed so water was getting in there. Running...

Google shows a which recommended traders. That lists 1 recommended roofer in Liverpool. The list says 4 but only the first one is actually local. So that's a starting point. Again, thanks for taking the time to reply. It's appreciated.

I'm sorry. I honestly don't know. The leak appeared inside the back bedroom on th celing about half a foot up from where the celing meets the wall. The celing isn't completely flat though. It tapers down towards the wall like an arch would. I'll call around tomorrow and find some roofers...

I thought the same about checkatrade etc. there's zero negative feedback and everyone seems to score over an 8 which is completely unrealistic because you can't please every customer. No matter how good you are. I've asked friends and they can't recommend everyone so I'm left with little...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Sorry. I don't know what most of the stuff you've mentioned is. Yes I can open the bedroom window fine. The gutter is above the window but seems to be enclosed. I don't know how that works etc but the roofer did say he'd clear the gutters and did being down a...

Both roofers were actually recommended by friends. One was supposed to be a friend of a family member. The other recommended by a friend. I don't know where to start to look, the likes of checkatrade and rated people seem completely skewed because you never seen any bad feedback on there...

Thanks for the reply. The surveyor was from the insurance. He just said they won't fix it and that was that. I did ask but they said they don't recommend people. There's nobody living next door so I can't ask if the issue is in that house too. How do I actually find a good roofer? I...

Thanks for the reply. The capping on top is something the first roofer put on because he said the flashing between the housing has failed, or because is told him that's what get insurance surveyor had said. So that's not been there long. The second roofer did tell the chimney needed...
