Hiya guys Thinking of starting up myself soon and was just wondering a few prices I would consider.. Obvisouly can't ask my boss lol This is based in the Scottish Borders.... To strip a slated roof (Just Slates) Dress them and put back on - Price per hour or per sm? And at what rate if...

Hiya m8 I've used both the rubber and felt methods.. Alot of people will prefer the rubber roofs as its quicker, easier and looks better, however, based on experience, I would go for the felt, seems to last longer. On a cool day the rubber is smooth and looks good, on a hot summer day the...

Hiya m8 Can't say I've ever heard a tile be "blown off due to moss". The moss can make tiles move a little but it will certainly never make a tile detach from the other tiles in a way to make it come completely off

Hiya guys Rosemary tiles here are £1.26 inc vat There is no valleys on this roof.. Its a main roof, not a leanto :D Again, I'm just doing the labour here I'm not supplying the materials, he is doing that himself. But was just wanting to know whot youz guys would charge for this, just...

The Regulations do not apply to asbestos cement products. Asbestos cement is mainly a mixture of asbestos and cement which is compressed or moulded to a high density. The most common asbestos cement products are roofing sheets, wall boards, gutters, drainpipes and flues. As long as you...

Hiya Yes the owner is supplying everything including scaffolding. Its cheap because its a side job.. My boss has been offered the work for 6 months and has never even sent the guy a quote, now the roof is leaking so I'm doing myself with my apprentice, so thats why its a cheaply priced...

Hiya m8 Cheers for the reply The battens would be 74 Lengths at 3.6 meters a length I agree that 38 * 25mm battens would be correct battens to use, I can't go any higher ie the 50*25 as I have to match in with the ajoining roof I think the current gauge is set out at 3.5" I'm just...

Hiya guys Just asking if someone can double check this quote over for me :D The roof is Rosemary Clay Tiles, with nail sickness on the tile battens, so strip and re do, also remove old gas flu and tile over. This is based in the Scottish Borders - Kelso Roof is 5m across and 7m up...

Hiya m8 I would personally say that Cast Iron is better than plastic, its much stronger.. Not all that expensive, depends on the size of the house.. Length of Cast Iron Gutter roughly about £28.00 climbing upto about £59 for longer lengths Plastic gutters, they can fade in colour over the...

Hi there Caroline Does your shed have any ventilation at all? I wouldn't think adding the polystyrene boards would make much difference if there is no ventilation.. With the warmth of the rabbits and the bedding and the hay / straw there is alot of heat going on, I would drill a view holes...

yeah normal felt will stick without any problems. Just make sure you prep the surface.. Any flaking asbestos, moss grass etc.. You could do it yourself but with using heat I would recommend getting someone else to do it if its a large area

Hiya Yes my employer is kemper approved. We have only used it once, we don't get much call for it in the Scottish Borders You could use acrypol on Asbestos roofs it will last for about a year, or you could torch on felt it but it is risky If it was me, I would felt over it and replace...

The new ones are better than the old asbest ones, don't crack and are much safer to work with. The old are ones are kind of fragile with age. If your doing this work yourself, make sure you wear the dust mask, asbestos sheets aren't the best to work with. I would also wear gloves

Hiya there Yeah I've used it a couple of times for small asbest roofs. Its easy to use, just scrap any loose / flaky crap of the roof, give it a good clean and use the primer from the same guys.. Allow the primer to dry, doesn't take long and then apply the Kemper Pur using a paint roller...

Hiya It would hold down better and be more secure on close boarding or decking but really, its your choice. Every 600 Centers is fine. I'm a roofer in the scottish borders and we mainly do repairs on farms etc, the 95% of the corrigated roofs are 400 - 600 centers just on beams, no...

Hiya I wouldn't recommend Acrypol for long periods, its really only designed for short term repairs. I would go for either a strip and refelt, or depending on how bad it is, a patch or a new top roll

Hiya It really depends on the size of the whole / crack and the condiction of the rest of the valley. If the valley is in good condiction and its just a small crack, then the roofer will just paint some aqua + over the affected area. If the area to be painted is too large or too far...
