Stone build house, external render 7x1m between flat-roof and main roof, replace guttering and fascia.
Will need hacking off but this shouldn't be difficult as half of it could be kicked off...
Easy access through house as straight through from front-door to back-door, no tip-toeing needed as living-room needs doing anyway.
Plasterer/builder reckons on 3 coats and leadwork to cover the flashings on newly laid EPDM roof (which has been done by a reputable roofer).
£2k cash (at my suggestion & before quote given), no duration time only a start date. Wants £1k upfront for 'materials'....
Having worked in Purchase Ledger for a civils company I suspect that at the very least the 'materials' cost is questionable. He has shunted a job to do mine.. presumably as there is far more margin to be made from me.
South Wales valleys has one of lowest living costs in UK... am I being rooked here??
