some pictures of roof might help then we could see where there might be a problem regards what damage might there be depends on how bad the leak is and where at

instead of going off on one freddie read what im saying what if i price a job and charge £75 and some cowboy does not charge the £75 they get the job and i do not i am an honest working guy and dont mind anyone checking my work but why should i or my customers pay for the privalige

my advice is put in over fascia vents and or tile vents the roofer would probably do his at extra cost if it wasnt specified in the first place to put them in which is surely a design fault notthe roofers also why not just put in a couple of ridge vents rather than replace the whole ridge (what...

this was on a strip and reslate the customer works for council but build control assure me any roof where ya take off more than 25% they must assess and charge this money seems like a rip off to me

hi you could probably do it your self if you have decent diy knowledge but you cannot use that flashing kit for the pipe the pipe gets warm and would melt the rubber ask at a builders merchants for a gas flu pipe flashing they will know what you want in regards to howlong for a roofer to do it...

what a cowboy it would have taken hardly any time to put in new flashing its harder to do it wrong than right find yur roofer and ring his neck cos if he left it like that in the firstplace he wont come back to sort it out
