Holes in roof felt
There are a few holes in our roof felt. Does the whole lot need replacing or can it be patched?
Exhaust Vent in Soffit
There's a bathroom exhaust vent above my bedroom window on the first floor which looks awful, you can even see the duct inside when you're looking up from the garden. I want to get rid of it but I can't afford to replace the whole soffit. I was wondering if replacing just that section of the soffit above the window is an option or if there's another way to repair it. The current soffit is made of UPVc.
cost of replacing 15 linear metre area of aluminium guttering for uPVC
I have a 15 linear metre area of guttering along the front of my house and the same coverage along the back of my house. In both cases it is aluminium guttering that is present. I’d like to have both areas (so 30 metres in length of gutters altogether) replaced with uPVC guttering. How much can I expect to pay a guttering installer to perform this work in terms of their installation fee? And how much will the new gutters cost? What about the cost of removing the old guttering? Am I best hiring a skip or will most professionals sort this out for me and I pay them a charge as part of my overall bill? I’d just like to know how this works. Thanks for your time.

Is torching a specialist job?
Hi, We're buying a 1930's semi and the roof is original, but in good condition. The Survey did say that the torching needs redoing though. I asked one roofer and he said he'd never heard of it and to just try and knock the price down to get a new roof... I'd rather just repair the underside of the roof as stated in the survey - can anyone tell me if this is a specialist job? How much should it cost? And does it have to be 'torched' or could we do something else? Thanks
