We went to view a terraced house we're interested in buying and noticed a brown stain in the ceiling of the second bedroom. The condition of the roof from the outside looked suspect. Is it possible this brown stain is coming from the poor roof? It didn't appear damp but the ceiling was supposedly newly decorated so strange that this has appeared.

I have a flat roof extension to the rear which has lead flashing where the main house joins the roof of the extension. I am about to have 100mm of external insulation and render fitted. Should new flashing be provided on to the new render, or will the existing flashing still be ok.

what would be the cost of replacing a pitched roof with new smooth marley tiles, re-battening, 2 gable ends front and back to be mortared (upside down 'v' roof). house floor area 8m x 10m . quick answers appreciated, as i feel like i'm about to be ripped off...

Few slates skipped on roof with foam underneath..,how should I go shout sorting this out. Shall I reattach the slates ad they flip?

Hello - we are considering buying a house where the wisteria has been left to run riot and now covers three sides of the roof. It is an old three storey high building so very difficult to access. Roofer or tree surgeons ? Any ideas of what this will cost ?

I live in a detached house, in Cornwall, in a rural area. The Solar panels need to be inspected, by an electritain. I have been informed that I will need to hire scaffolding. The solar panels are on the lower roof side so they are only about 8ft up, on the low roof side. What is the best scaffolding to ask for in a situation like this? My house has easy access, and I will only need it for a day. It will ony be for 1 or 2 men, and it is not high up. What is a fare price, and will a scaffolding company even deal with me since it is such a small job? Please can anyone give me some advice on the subject?

There's water leaking from my guttering and it's spilling down onto the surface below. How can I quickly identify where the leak is coming from exactly? And is this a job that I can safety perform by myself?

I was wondering is a new roof priced per square m or just each individual job ? I’m wanting a price for a new roof on my bungalow and a rough idea would give me a starting point with the quotes TIA

Traders on here have been very helpful in the past, hope you can be again. This question is in 2 parts really. I recently had a dry verge installed that was quoted at £650, and was then told that the felt behind the mortar had deteriorated badly so I needed 2 m of new felt and batten which would take 2 days. I was left with a bill for £2.5k, after the work was done in a day. Does this seem fair? The second part of this question is that the dry verge looks very wonky. My understanding is that it should look relatively flush and straight and shouldn't really deviate. Is this right? It looks worst at the peak of the roof where it appears to tilt away from the roof.

My neighbour has a new roof, they have not said how they were joining the 2 roofs, or asked any permission to move our tiles, when I looked up and asked why they had a divider installed wonky / top bowing towards our roof, if I could add a pic I could show you, they argued my roof tiles aren't straight, but before they removed them roof was fine, it will be the only roof I have seen without a straight line down, can they do this?
