Just to add to roofer's post , 19 x 38 was used previously , including some roofs i did when starting out, none of them have any problems as far as i'm aware and have been up 15 + years

Thanks, i have been using a 1" brush :oops: I have decent quality brushes (i think) £20ish quid from the local builders merchant for 4.

Has anyone any tips for getting perfectly painted internal corners? On our 3rd room or the house now , and i still cant get them 100% without touching the 'otherside' . Or should i just paint rooms one colour !!

So you want a quote without even a chance of getting the job? Ball park figure is between £4k and £6k i'd say, depending on materials (type of underslating / slates / fixings / access)

What freddy said, I was thinking the same as noseall until i re-read it.

Do you have roof windows going at the back of the house and not at the front?

Don't know about anyone else but i can't see anything in that picture only a silhouette of the roof

Glad to help :D

I think you mean Terraferma , unless you meant terracotta roof tiles that is !!

Whatever you decide don't pay upfront , pay either in stages on certain work completion (i prefer this on big jobs) or pay on completion.

100% not grovebury, they have a double wave on them, i'd go with anglia's as well

The underpointing you are on about was put on to stop draughts before the invention of felt, even with it all missing you shouldn't have rain penetrating! It's called 'torching' or 'full torching' or 'single torching' or even 'half torching' depending on how exactly it is put on. it usually...

Plus he's offered what i consider cowboy solution to what would take a day to fix by doing it properly ( as long as it was not 6m + anyway)

Um no, if there is a split in the valley then the whole valley should be replaced, as it has clearly expanded to failure and the lead would have been weakened all over not just at point of failure. And painting aqua + or anything over such cracks are a bodgers answer imo, and just putting...

Yes apart from it's clearly lead!!

if it's insurance they yes it will be completely redone , or at least it should.

saw it out so the batten is on at least 3 rafters for fixing.
