Hi hoping to get some advice. We had a leak from our (100% flat) roof recently. It looks like next door have come 500mm or more across onto our roof when they had theirs redone & it’s very obvious this is where the leak came from. Not interested in causing trouble with them but we are having our roof redone in a few months time & I want to be sure that when we take our roof back to the property line that we won't be liable for anything. Common sense says it's our property, but knowing how ridiculous the law can be sometimes, I'm also thinking our neighbours could sue us for damage or something if we touch "their" roof at all. I do have photos, not sure how to post them. Only other thing to note is that the neighbours have fibreglass, we have felt. Will be replacing with felt "warm roof". Apparently fibreglass & felt don't bond well but it is a terraced property & we have felt on one side of us & fibreglass on the other so there's not much we can do about it. Thanks
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
Can I have a roof installed during the winter months or do roofers tend to take time off from working during this time due to the cold weather conditions, etc.? Thanks for your time.
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?
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...
I've got a largish terrace which has an asphalt roof, asphalt type boiled up from blocks in tar boiler. Presently part covered in GRP tiles. Tiles and asphalt have moved with heat and it looks very untidy. Terrace is laid over solid beam and block first floor so area needds to be water tight. Can tiles be removed and asphalt replced or is it better to remove both and relay with something else.
Internal wall in bedroom sometimes feels wet - especially after winter months/heavy spells of rain. There is some staining at the top of the walls and also some areas of damp/mould in adjacent cupboard. Old chimney breast runs up same wall so suspect it is related to this. Unsure whether I need a roofer or bricklayer or even if it's related to guttering/flashing. Thankfully, it is the only room in the house which has any damp/mould but would like to get it resolved. Any hints or troubleshooting tips appreciated.
Do you need to put scaffolding up to cap a chimney on a terrace house?
