Hey

Thanks, looks like you could have saved me a small fortune. I had a second roofer out who seemed to think the problem was my gutters.Two sides of the roof dont have guttering. Im going to get a third roofer to see if he comes to the same conclusion.

for 36 sq metres? they really are having a laugh.

most extension flat roofs can be redone in one day with two men. maximum two days. tops.

I had two quotes last year to repair my two dormers which are each 10ft x 10ft and on the roof of my 3 storey terrace house, one was for £3000 and one for £2000. I did the job myself, hiring scaffolding and using sterling board and rubber membrane for £800.
It was physically hard and I'm not good with heights but the chance to save £1200 which I didn't have anyway was too much to pass up.
