Cheers Alastair. If it’s pre-arranged it’s ok, I was just worried about getting a surprise bill through my letterbox.

Update for anyone's who's interested: - My roofer never returned to finish the work like he said he would. :roll: He gave a date of when he'd be back but it came and went. No idea if he's taking me to small claims court over the money, I haven't paid him anything. I'm now looking for...

I always presumed not and have never been charged but someone I know has told me not to presume because I might end up with a bill for a call out. I’m having a few roofers round at the mo to quote me on re-roofing, I’ve checked the website of one and that says free quotes but the other...

I agree. He has his own property maintenance business, I guess re-roofing isn’t something he does every day. I think he regrets ever agreeing to do the job now.

Yeah I figured it was a decent price before he started. Although one FMB roofer verbally said he could work for £340 a day with two men and the scaffolding would be included in that but the materials would have been on top, he didn’t say how many days he’d work for but I got the impression it’d...

Price for finishing the job by another roofer is £2750 (inclusive of VAT). My one was only gonna do the whole re-roof for £1200 - £1300. Still not paid my roofer owt yet but he handed me a breakdown to look at on what he’s spent on the job so far and it was £600+, about £400+ of that was for...

Just had another roofer round for a look and to quote and he says the work isn’t all that bad looking at it from the outside. Says the valleys would ideally have been put centrally but he didn’t think it was a major problem.

I was hoping he’d say no. If he refused to come back and fix it then I wouldn’t of had to pay.

See my post here http://www.diynot.com/forums/roofing-guttering/opinions-please-on-if-this-re-felting-is-acceptable.331618/ for what happened at the meeting.

I don’t know where I stand now. I had my mum round when he came and somehow its been agreed that he will re-roof the rest of the roof that he hasn’t touched. For the price he initially said to me. We argued about the price and the work done and that it still leaks and to resolve the...

£1,200 - £1,300 to have the front of my roof re-roofed.

My bedroom ceiling hasn’t been badly damaged during his works, I did everything I could to save it as I didn’t want to have it replastered, I didn’t/don’t want the aggravation. There’s only minor damage which I can live with. So that’s everyone’s thoughts then? ..... That the work is...

I haven’t paid him yet although he's asked for money. He wants to talk to me face-to-face and is coming round to my house tonight. I’m sh*tting myself cos I know he’s going to try and intimidate me and bully me into paying him, I live alone and I’m not exactly wonderful with words and handling...

I know, it looks sh*t. I was thinking when I was getting the roof re-roofed again those dumb looking things would go.

& sorry, I probably should have only started one thread here, this could get confusing. :oops:

Thanks for responding. It’s a great help because I haven’t known where to go for advice. You mean the tiles are supposed to overhang the wall a bit? (Bear with me, I’m female and blond.) The tiles on the very front of my house are in the same position as they were before and all the houses...

I’ve had a roofer re-cut tiles in my valleys areas as they were bodged originally and I was getting leaks, this is what he’s produced but I’ve noticed that the centre of the valleys now are not laid centrally to the lead. If you look at the bottom picture of how it used to be there’s like a...

The new felt has been put on the peaked area of my roof. I haven’t had an explanation why my roofer has done the two sides differently but I know someone who says that he has roof problems due to white breathable felt being laid at the bottom of his roof and that roofers have told him...
