Looking for some advice.
I have a leaking roof valley. Had a couple of people to look at it. Both think it's not too serious, but essentially in heavy rain water is getting in around a couple of the valley tiles. The felt underneath has rotted away so it's likely gone on for a long time.
I've attached a photo showing the problem valley.
So far I've had the following quotes:
1) £500 patch up. Builder 1.
2) £675 patch up. Roofer 1. (Includes scaffold)
3) £1550 replacement lead valley, single. Roofer 1. (Includes scaffold)
4) £900 replacement lead valley, single. Roofer 2. (Includes scaffold)
5) £1400 replacement lead valley, double. Roofer 2. (Includes scaffold)
6) £1750 replacement lead valley, double + rebedding ridge tiles. Roofer 2. (Includes scaffold)
7) £950 replacement lead valley, double. Roofer 3. (No scaffold)
There's quite a big difference here. Roofer 1 is the person I trust the most, but he's way more than the others. Roofer 2 and 3 are essentially the same, except Roofer 3 is saying no scaffold needed. I'm not too happy with that though. Everyone else wants scaffolding and it's a usual 2 storey building, so quite high up!
Any thoughts / advice much appreciated!
