Hi there,
We've just moved into a farmhouse in Surrey. We were planning to just patch up the roof but now it looks like something more substantial is required. One "L" shape section of original roof needs replacing (gaps in timbers, rotten sections etc). The area is approximately 5m x 10m plus another attached section of 5m x 5m. It's an old house and we're looking to use farmhouse red clay tiles. All beams will need to be replaced as well.
We have some local builders in who were doing the patching up. They've estimated about 30K for the whole job (approx 10K for scaff roof to cover the square that includes the "L" - roughly 10m x 10m, 10K wood/tiles/consumables, and 10K labour for them).
Am inclined to go with them but can anyone reassure me that it's a good price?
Am trying to get other quotes in but as I'd already agreed 4 weeks work to do the patching up at the moment their sitting on their hands while I get my head around the bigger sized job.
Any help really appreciated!
