Yep I'd imagine the cement will wash out of all the ridges leaving cement stains all dwn your roof and ridges not fixed as they should be because the cement meant to hold them on will have washed away I like between 2-4 hours of decent dry weather after I've ridged this guy does not sound the...

I'd at least ask him about the building control application the price actually seems reasonable maybe to reasonable to be honest whatever you do pay nothing upfront and maybe ask him for some references

Hi Dave if he is stripping more than 25% of your roof which clearly is building control should of been notified and they come out and advise on how much insulation is needed they would not pass the job if excessive rubbish is left in loft the building control application costs about £125 and I'm...

its standard practice for us to clean out the loft space when we strip a roof i would of thought the roofer should always clean up after himself depends on size of your roof wheather 3500 is fair or not id mention the rubbish in the loft then the roofer knows your gona keep an eye on things :wink:

same ball park as bethesdaslate my advice call three or four roofers get their estimates for free from your local area make sure their estimates are free some people do charge lol

completley agree with surrey 38x25 but was thinking 38x25 for a begginer to walk on would be a bit risky didnt want moondance ending up on the floor of his bungalow via the ceiling lol and hope i wasnt misunderstood i meant galvanised for the battens not for the tiles never use galvs for slating...

his advice was correct in a hap hazard sort of way lol make sure the top half of the old tile is not still in as can sometimes happen if its all clear put the new tile in and the nibs at the top of the tile will hook on to the tile batten it will then hold in itself but i would advise a small...

if your going to renew the whole roof id use 50x25mm battens you may have thiner on at the moment but would advise on 50x25 i use 40mm alloy nails as felt tacs with a 50x25mm batten 65mm galvanised nails to fix them if they are 10x6 plain tiles use 40mm alloys to fix them supplies you can get...

fitting as you have described will be fine i fitted the same thing a couple of months ago a slate lath fix to the wall would act as an extra fixing imo

you can insulate from the inside if your taking the ceiling down anyways you then insulate inbetween each rafter spacing with kingspan sheet or similar then fit new plaster board and bobs your uncle lol be sure to leave a space for air flow

they will probably work from the box valley to replace ridge tiles and even fit new lead flashing up my way you would be looking between 5-8 hundred work wise your looking at approx two men 1 day plus overheads other prices may vary tho id always get at least 3 quotes

is that not sandstone we often get them that size up this way not nice to lay at all lol

a few things come into play will you need scaffold how much lead is required and are you saying theres 2 rooves 8m long approx 32-35 ridge tiles is it a slate or tile roof?

got to say i think they look like hardrow concrete slates operative word being slates they should be double lapped hence the reason you can see the felt through the slates/tiles :shock:

thanks guys was thinking of getting a small amount and doing a makeshift roof in the yard have a go and see sort of thing

hi guys ive been doing a few flat roofs lately and had forgotten how awful they really are was thinking of starting to go down the epdm route could anyone reccomend any courses or advice on the matter thinking i might burn my hands a bit less with epdm :lol:

sounds like bad workmanship to me but would need pics to be sure was it a local firm or someone reccomended to you

quote seems more than reasonable imo if anything perhaps overly cheap

:lol: lost count of the times ive said to my lads hold the ladder and looked dwn to see them texting on their phone (the youth of today lol)

got to say that is a real shoddy job surely not qualified roofers :oops:
