With all the bad weather we had a bit of damp in parts of the house - not unusual its over 150 year old
We've had 3 roofers in
There is no clear and obvious error on one thing - loft insulation needs sorting.
The rest?
Roofer No 1 - not sure what the problem is will need scaffolding up (he was acting a contractor for a big company who we know and trust) = £4600 then I can let you know
Roofer no 2 - sends a drone up, need a complete re roof = £17k which includes the scaffolding
We got a scaffolder to come and put some up for £1200
Roofer no 3 - need some air slates because you have condensation in the loft, the flashing on your chimney has gone and next door's chimney is leaking into your loft
Roofer no 1 returns (with the blessing of the big company he can quote just for him) - you've got a good roof, will last about 20 years. Flashing looks ok, next doors chimney looks ok, need some air vents and I can come and do them tomorrow for about £500
