Asked by Marcia on 25th Jun 2020Best Answer
"Can take all off and replace with dry ridge system much better finish £700"
Answered on 28th Jun 2020 - Member since Mar 2019 - report"It depends on the size of the property for scaffolding,
And weather the ridges need replacing if any are broken or break,
On top of two mans day rate for 1 day"
"1 day
Total cost £240 includes materials & labour"
"The work you require costs roughly around £250 pound because it would take two people in my opinion without scaffolding, using a hook ladder would be the cheapest way. The breakdown of the work is:
Roofer £160
Labouerer £80
Sand and cement £10"
"There’s actually a couple of answers,
Firstly
It’s enough to be classed as a short days work so up to £200 plus a mate to pass bucket of mortar if needed, the mortar cost is minimal,
But,
This job is v frowned upon nowadays by professionals as it’s a far better job to remove the lot and renew the mortar bed properly and guarantee the job,
Or remove the lot and fix back on a dry ridge system,
I actually saw a couple guys ‘buttering up some hips’ last week they charged the elderly couple £500 for a couple hours.
Ouch"
"It would take arou nd 1 to 2 days and around 600 in labour thanks Dom dpl roofing property services ltd"
