    Wisteria all over roof

    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 ?

    Damaged roof under solar panels

    We had solar panels put on our roof a year ago. The installers have cracked tiles and subsequently we have a leak. The roof hooks have damaged the tiles and we’ve seen they tried to fix them with silicone. The company has ceased trading, have changed the name but there is no way we can contact them. We realise we have been customers of a rogue company. We have tried really hard to contact a solar company who may do a lift and fix for us with no success. Does anyone know what we can do. Thank you. Sue

    Roof repair 3 floor town house, with solar panels

    We have a tile shifted/moved/broken on the front and back of our 3 story town house, which has also got solar panels on. Is it possible to repair the roof without removing the solar panels completely. Or is the a company who are both solar installers and roof repairers. Or can it be repaired from the inside?

    Leaking Guttering

    A part of guttering has been replaced to a new front section. When it rains, it is now leaking quite heavily in one or two places. Not sure if it’s under or over the guttering, but the water is running down the brickwork, which it never did before. Any idea what the problem might be and how to resolve the issue.

    Velux skylight insolation & dry ridge system

    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!).

    Do roofers always need a scaffold?

    Do roofers always need a scaffold to access the roof? There's just a few slates loose on the roof and the first roofer we approached said we'd need a scaffold. Obviously, that adds to the cost of a small repair.
