Hi Guys I've been wondering about offering my customers Finance for re-roofing works. As you know, replacing a roof is expensive and most roofs costing about £5000+ Just wondering if anyone here offers finance?

Hi lads Does anyone have a sample copy of a slated roof guarantee? I have one for flat roofs & metal roofs but I don't have one made up for slates & tiles? email me @ [email protected] Cheers guys

Just to clarify!!! The customer asked for the mastic to rule out the zinc as he doesn't want this removed. I followed what he asked and used mastic when the zinc meets the slates!! Been back @ job today and started removing some slates, noticed that the zinc had a small split @ the edge...

Hiya The flashing tape you mean is called Flashband, Its not recommended for a long term solution and is nothing compared to lead. The flashband is great for a quick repair over a crack in lead, flat roof and valley etc. I personally wouldn't recommend it for a flashing instead of lead...

Prep work involved would be half the roof has the felt with stone chipings on, so will have to scrap that off, all the edges are lifting, so will remove them also. Works out as £20 per square meter for the whole job? Wot would you recommend?
