Yes, definitely not lichen or staining of any kind. You can see where the surface coating has flaked off.

You certainly need to make a request of the roofer. Basically to never venture within a mile of your property ever again. What a horrible sight. You need to get an actual roofer to rip all that up and do the job properly.

When I had the roof done I paid after completion, which included about £3k materials and scaffolding. But when I had the kitchens and bathroom done I paid upfront for all goods, about a month prior to delivery. Fitting was after completion. The boiler and central heating system was 10% deposit...

Don't see them much any more. Just like real coppers.

It's an AI spambot.

I had mine done last month. Shellcast, but equally difficult. You can't just use a brush. Also, whilst it might help you sell the house, it's not going to last more than a few years. May not even last one. You can rent a spray gun. I'd recommend that. A fifty quid gun won't work. But you don't...

Lucky it didn't rain before he got the tiles on. When mine was done a few months back we got 36mm of rain in 5 hours with 40mph winds - there wasn't a tile on the roof, just membrane.

I'm just getting a fan installed in the gable end with a 150mm hole and a vent on the outside. Controlled by a Wifi adapter so I don't need to go up there to change the settings.

That's the roofing equivalent of Tom Cruise's shoes.

If mine was, then so is yours.

Except I didn't. I commented one hour after the previous post, which appeared earlier today and was deleted after I commented on it. I edited mine to reflect that, as you can see.

ChatGPT enters the, um, chat. ...now it's been deleted and my comments looks weird.

If it's particularly stubborn he could still be struggling.
