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
Firstly how watertight are roof skylights is it wise to have them installed. And secondly dry ridge system, compared to old school cement ridge! (which is better for the customer!).
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?
We have replaced our roof and the roofer has used a dry bonding gutter between ours and the adjoining roof. The neighbour does not like the appearance of the up-stand between the properties. We have tried to explain that this is the recommended method as mortar can cause other problems. I’m not sure how far this will go, but I was wondering whether the gutter could be moved on to our side of the divide without causing more issues.
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?
Our semi detached neighbour had a leak in bathroom which adjoins our landing wall. Roofers came recommended by letting agents and fixed their side and we asked to inspect ours whilst up there and said ours was fine. A couple of days after they finished, we found that this landing wall had damp patches (just been newly decorated) and now it is lifting the lining paper off the wall and a fine crack has now appeared. We have reported to letting agents and roofer (roofer has not responded to countless emails and voice messages). Where do we stand as we now have to get this big damp patch fixed and roof repaired before it gets worse
Is there any harm in leaving lichen on roof tiles? I know moss should be removed, but what about lichen?
A friend lives in a semi and the next door has been sold. Building work started with the concrete roof tiles being replaced with slates At the time Planning permission had not been granted The join between the different roofs has been covered with ridge tiles which are not placed accurately over the join. In other words the top tile is fully on my friends roof and the bottom tile fully on the other partys roof. The planning dept were told but they have given planning permission for the change. As the new house owner spent money buying slates which might not have got planning permission I suspect he has a friend of influence
