gotta agree with the guys the job is terrible its definatly clear batten gauge is wrong slates are a mess and the good ones if there is any should be holed with a holing machine if they turn up tomorrow chase them and get a proper roofer to take it all off and do a decent job :shock:

yep its free but you can advertise for a fee aswell whats your site alistair

we have just done a fascia and soffit job up our way 40m of fasci soffit gutter and downpipe £2500 all in done properly and and we made a decent profit £7000 seems very expensive to me

on alot of the valleys we do with grp we keep the grp valley up the roof about a foot and fit a piece of lead under grp valley and into gutter

yep totaly agree with you on that i usually charge £50 for a roof survey its amazing how surprised people are though when you tell them exactly what your saying they seem to think they should get it for free :roll:

as you say this problem usually occurs when new fascia and gutter are replaced on some houses another alternative is to extend the first row of tiles into the gutter
