  • Not in London but I wish you luck, the amount of roofers I've had over to quote for the same thing and then you never hear from them again is a joke. They all make a point of "measuring up" and saying "straight forward job" which makes it all the more confusing.

    My theory is they'd all prefer to fix a tile for £200 x 5 a day. Makes sense, it's just a pain for us that need bigger jobs doing.

  • Had one quote of 12k going up to 18k if they replace the tiles too...I really can't afford that I might have to get a loan or something as the felt is knackered and causing some problems with condensation and small leaks all over the shop. :(

  • The condensation won't be down to the felt, it will be down to a lack of ventilation, perhaps someone has installed extra loft insulation and gone right to the eaves, new uPVC fascias/soffits can also cause issues as they seal better than old wooden ones.

    The condensation could probably be sorted with a few vent tiles, lap vents or soffit vents (or a combination of all).

    My brother's house that was built early 1900s has the original roof and no felt at all!! I think there are still quite a few houses around like thatm
