New roof on neighbours
My neighbour has just had a new roof with thicker batons. His roof is now higher than mine. They’ve installed a bonding tray but my tiles are raised at edge sitting on the tray. Therefore 2nd row of tiles are now sitting at a v angle. Neither neighbour nor roofer admitting any accountability saying it’s new regulations on size of batons and my roof needs replacing anyway. I now had a triangular gap in between every tile going up roof in 2 nd row of tiles up the roof. Where do I stand as being unreasonable to correct. No discussion with me beforehand.

How much to fix damp around a chimney breast?
Our house is a 1930s semi and there's a damp patch on the bedroom wall right where the chimney breast is. It only gets worse after heavy rain, so I'm guessing it's the flashing or the pointing up top. Had one roofer round who quoted £850 without even going up on the roof. Does that sound about right, and what would a proper repair normally cost?
