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

A roofer came and fixed a leak in our roof. Afterwards the roof was still leaking. He came back out and re-tiled a section. We were out at the time and when we got back he had covered the roof with a sticky, black paint/tar like sealant. Any idea if this is standard practise or is it a sign of a botched job and something we should be concerned about? Thanks for any helo

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

How long should my guttering last for? I’ve moved into a house recently which has had guttering for about the past ten years. It is uPVC guttering. I’d like to know how many years I can expect this type of guttering to last before it will need replacing.

What should I do if a newly installed roof is leaking?

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.

We had our roof replaced 2 years ago and our neighbor has decided to now say she has water ingress and a damp patch, we have paid half towards a new lining for her gutter , now she has said that she has had a charted surveyor to say we have breeched the the law by not issuing a party wall notice . What can we do ?

I have lead flashing around the sides of my Chimney, from what I can see the flashing has fallen out of place apart from the very top section, which is the only thing holding it in place. Can I get it refitted without buying new lead?
