Roofer recommendations

Hi, could anyone recommend a reliable roofer to point some ridge tiles, replace a few rosemary tiles and fill in a small hole. Had a quote which was seems really expensive. Cheers

    Would be interested in this too.
    Found it very hard in the past to get people to come out and quote a job (even when a date and time was agreed), let alone do the work.

    Same as snowmen - been waiting 4 weeks for a quote from one who was very reliable in the past!  He came out same day to measure up, but nothing.

    Certainly won't be recommending him again (I had in the past).
    Certain OTT members have caused me to add this disclaimer: all advice given is free of charge & as such should be taken to be IIRC (as I don't spend hours researching all answers :eek: )!
  • I have a guy who had done work for me before but his quote was astronomical. Got another guy from rated people, similar price, then another guy from a local magazine who I'm still waiting a price from

    Let us know how you get on.
    The way some tradesmen get on I wonder if they even want the work.
