Chimney work & a few tiles fixing

Makzini

Hi all,

New to this forum & this sort of game, getting a bit of work done here and there on a few properties, if I could get peoples opinions would be greatly appreciated! 

Have a chimney & side chimney that need the edges redone with lead, the main chimney needs the bowls recemented as it seems its falling off, and a few tiles missing/broken (1-3) that need replacing.. 

Had a quote from a fella, two for labour, days work (or half), no scaffolding (just off the ladder) for about 500£, how much would people usually expect to pay/charge for this sort of thing.

Another random Q I know it’s unrelated to the forum (sorry if it shouldn’t be posted) but any tips for finding suitable reliable & reasonable priced tradesman & the best way to go about doing this?

Many thanks
M

I don’t know about the quote, but I wouldn’t use anyone who would work at height without a scaffold it’s illegal and you will end up in a world of trouble should there be an accident!
 As for finding tradesmen family and friends are your first port of call.
