  • Had a third roofer round today who was much more thorough and had me up 4 storeys on a ladder to show me what was fucked. More expensive than the others but I got a better feeling with him and there are no reviews on checkatrade below 10/10. £10k for full re batten and membrane, new tiles, repointing and recapping two chimney stacks, replacing the flat dormer roof and fascia and gutters (and some other bits). £10k

    Going with uPVC sliding sash windows from Everest instead of timber for upfront cost reasons plus reduced maintenance and better security and heat efficiency. 11 windows (most are 1.8m tall and on the 1st floor). £14k

    I've opened a beer and ordered pizza.

    This is all having yet to work with him properly, so buyer beware.

    Still have slightly wobbly legs after being up the ladder while he merrily skipped across my velux.

    Cue him being the biggest cowboy in the history of builders.

    I've also got him earmarked for more general building work in future, which may have made me a more attractive customer.
