Hello,
I hope someone can advise me in here... I got a leak in my roof that needs to be sorted out pretty urgently. The roof overall does not look in a healthy condition. It looks like the leaks is around the chimneys. So I got a few quotes. Most of them are around £3,500 but one of them just £2000 for the same job. So I'm just wondering what is going on:
£3,500 quote:
- erect and dismantle 2nr tower scaffolding
- strip out all badly broken slated and de-nail, replace any missing slates, and repair were necessary on entire property, ensuring fixed securely by means of 50mm galvanised nails
- hack of cement pointing to cement ridge and re-point using good sound mortar
- strip out lead on 2 NO chimneys and re-new using Code 5 lead (450 mm), apply new lead flashing, polysulphate raggles ensuring good cover with neat finish
- re-slate watergates ensuring correct cover
- remove all vegetation from gutters strip off rusty bolts were gutter is leaking at joints and re-putty, supply and fit new bolts and seal inside gutters ensuring free flowing
- apply 2 no coats of black hammerite paint to gutters and down pipes
- remove all our debris from site leaving clean and tidy
£2000 quote:
- erect 2nr tower scaffoldings
- strip out defective watergates and back gutter to both chimneys and cart away
- supply and fix new lead back gutter & watergate to both chimney replacing defective
- make good all slating to new Watergate & gutter
- supply and fix new vent cowl to chimney pot at Left elevation chimney replacing damaged
- check over main roof and replace badly broken & missing slates, secure dislodged slated and re-fix
- check all flashings to vent & flue pipes through roof & replace where defective
- to re-point ridge tiles to main ridge with a strong mix of mortar with added bonding agent
- clean out rainwater gutters to front & rear
- dismantle scaffolding on completion, cart away all debris
- leaving all in good order
Hope someone can help me with this as these looks to me exactly the same except of the huge price difference...
Thank you
