    Sharing neighbours scaffolding

    My neighbour is having scaffolding put up on his roof. He's saying I could go 50/50 on the cost to have my chimney checked at the same time as it looks like it needs repointing If I used my own roofer to do the job would they be ok with using another contractors scaffolding? Hope someone s able to let me know.

    Going from pitched roof to flat

    Hello, I have a bungalow which has a small extension to the side running the length of the property. The flat roof on the extension is knackered. I want to take it all off and re-do the extension properly by building and replacing all the windows etc. Where the original house was the guttering is still on it and the flat roof is under the guttering. When i build the side extension do i need to keep this guttering or can i raise the roof a little and have it so the rain water runs straight off the house roof onto the flat roof then into the gutter of the flat roof? If not what else coudl i do?

    Judging Hip Ridges Health Status

    hello , I think two my hip/ridge tiles has perished and need replacing. They have cracked half inch down or so. It is solidly embedded it seems. But others hip/ridge tiles, the top layer is only weathered and flaky but underlying ridge/hip is solidly embedded and loose. I'm planning to put a new roof in few years time and hence my question was which hip/ridges should be replaced now and which ones I can defer if at all I can defer. How do you decide which ones to alter as disturbing ridge/hip will break corner cemented underlying tiles. I have scaffolding in place. Guys are coming are giving various contradictary advise. Also How do I select a competent roofer over cow boys - as every one claims they can do the work. Many Thanks in Advance.
