He called himself Aberdeen City Roofers...........

Hi I got his number from our local paper. I will keep you all informed, however I suspect that I won't hear or see from him again. Al

OK, a futher update......... I asked the so called roofer to provide me an invoice for the work. I said that on receipt of that, I would have the work inspected by a professional and if he qualifys the work as acceptable I will pay him without question. (I was safe in the knowledge that this...

Dear All, Just in case anyone wondered I went down the floor and scraped about 2" of soil, rubble, stones etc etc etc from under the house. Took a long time, and filled a couple of trailors; but never seen a fly since!!!! Thanks everyone. Al

To do quite a bit of other work, including supply the lead and refelt a section of the roof would be £1200. No money has exchanged hands!!!!!

Thanks all.....Thankfully I didn't have over any money (and it was not cheap either). Out of interest, can any provide information regarding if that lead was new or not? I am not convinced that it is new. Its the left hand side only. Al

Dear All, I have had endless trouble with a leaking roof in my house. Eventually, I was advised by a roofer to replace the rotton zinc valleys with lead ones. I got a price, which seemed reasonable considering the price of the lead. The guy said that actually he would not remove the zinc but...

Dear All I have had a small leak in my house, and it has left some stanes on the roof and wall paper. I will paint the roof no problem, but I don't want to replace the wall paper (because I cannot find it anymore and I don't want to re-paper the whole room). Does anyone have any advice how...

Hello We have just moved into a rented house, and the windows are quite low. To top that off, there is a radiator below the window which is perfect height for climbing on. We have a little girl, and I want to make this safe. Photo attached Can anyone suggest an adjustable product...

Hello We've moved into a rented house, which has a bath with a shower head but its not attached to the wall and there is no curtain. We're not allowed to drill into the tiles, (which is daft as I could just replace them) so I can't install a shower head holder or a shower rail. Any tips...

Hello Firstly, thanks to anyone who can help me out with this one.... Summary --> Please read my previous topic.. http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=192605 I have pretty much sorted this by moving all the stones from under my house, opening up the vents and letting time go...

Ha ha... I have been honest, there is no traffic warden under the floor :D Do you think it would be worth renting a fume extractor for a week and sucking air out. Would that speed up the process of getting rid of the smell? Al

I have not. I had a large claim two years ago, and it push my payments through the roof. I don't want to make a claim unless I really have to. Any ideas who they would contact? Al
