Hi there,
Can anyone please offer some advice. We're looking to buy a 3 bed semi in Southampton, the survey stated that the roof needs replacing. The surveyor said the tiles were the orginal 1930 tiles and at the end of their life.
1) I know this will depend on many things but, does anyone have any idea how much this could be?
2) Has anyone dealt with any roofing firms recently in the Southampton area? Any recommendations?
The one firm rang to get a quote was a bit rubbish saying there was no need to look inside the loft and got there at the wrong time anyway. He wasn't aware of the email we sent, then in the next sentence said he printed it out and said he will look at it later! He also stated that the tiles were asbestos and only 30-40 years old.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Nic.
