Has anyone ever installed drip trays on their own roof? If so, how difficult or annoying was it?
I need this doing, plus refitting a gutter so it is straight and has the right fall on it, plus some pointing, plus a tiny bit of lead flashing.
The drip trays need installing onto a pitched roof that is above the flat roof of a rear extension that I have good access to via a door from the first floor landing. As such, I wouldn't need to be up on big ladders for any of this.
The first quote has come back £1300 for the work. I will continue to get other quotes, but at that price it's the territory of stuff I feel I'd rather learn to do myself. That is unless it's particularly difficult or more annoying than I am imagining.
In my head it's taking up a few rows of tiles from the bottom, screwing drip trays onto roofing battens, and then putting the tiles back where they came from.
