Hi Ive had 3 quotes for a re roof and gutters etc
Ranging in the 4K - 4600K.
New battens and felt plus old slates back
Not sure what I should be asking or what to do next.
It's a mid terrace in Manchester
I can post the quotes if that helps.
The most expensive quote funny enough is the person I feel most comfortable with the cheapest seems very nice and polite but I have a doubt about him even though he has 100% good reviews on check a trade if that means anything.
Thanks
