Answer 1

1. Open Yellow Pages.

2. Find local roofers.

3. Check they are accredited craftsmen.

4. Invite them around to give you a quote.

Since I cannot see your house, I cannot quote on the cost of re-roofing.

You may have broken tiles that are not easy to see but your roof liner may be missing or damaged. In my house there is a bitumen membrane under the tiles, overlapped so that water will always run to the gutter.

Does it leak when it rains a little or when it rains a lot?

Maybe the flashing has broken at your chimney stack.

Do you have a window in the roof (ie Velux), maybe it wasn't installed properly.

Answer 2

Unfortunately water ingress can be deceptive. Water can run quite a distance from its source of entry so some investigations are required to determine the fault.

As a guide i re-roofed a terrace house in N.Staffs 2 yrs ago.

Cost for:

Stripping tiles and battens
Removing 1 chimney stack
Scaffold front and rear (with pavement licence)
Re-batten
Re-felt
Re-lay 80% of original tiles and 20% reclaimed
2 roofers labour

Cost £1,800

Answer 3

you do not say if the roof is slate at the moment ..if it is then get a quote for eternite type slates .. these are the norm for replacing slates ....do not go for a concrete tile unless the roofer strengthens the roof ..as these are much heavier than slate ..get the roof checked by a proper roofer first ..if it does need re covering then expect 2500 plus vat ..if no vat then you got a cowboy

Answer 4

you ought to have a extreme observe with them - tell them they do no longer seem to be in Australia now and issues are distinctive right here. I additionally stay in a mid-terrace domicile and that didnt end the idiots I caught moving into via my bathing room window one nighttime !!! we've had a number of cases of human beings leaping around the returned fences to get admission to the properties or gardens - they even stole a bike from my neighbours backyard. needless to say our doors are saved locked and that i now have 2 dogs interior the domicile - yet whilst they see the door open they're gonna get in, rob you blind and basically bypass away with the help of potential of the front door !!!!!
