Hi,
Looking for a bit of advice on getting my roof repaired. 1950s extended semi.
Excuse any incorrectly terminology but as you can see from the photos, mortar is cracked/missing in places on my verges and mortar is cracked/missing in places on the tile undercloak. I'm not sure why there is so much depth to the undercloak and overhang of the tiles. As it looks like most houses of my street have the mortar and tiles sat directly on top of the brickwork? Anyway, I've had 3 quotes for repairing this.
1. £350 - installation of dry verge (doesn't think he needs scaffolding) - well rated roofer on checkatrade but can find no other details about him
2. £1900 - installation of dry verge (with scaffolding) and thinks he needs to cut tiles back first as there is a big overhang - a home improvement firm that a friend of a friend knows
3. £2200 - install of dry verge - very well rated roofer on checkatrade - has quoted purely on photos!
Incredible difference in the prices above - The £350 seems ridiculously cheap, the other two seem expensive. I know checkatrade and the like are not often recommended for finding reputable tradespeople but struggling to find any good recommendations from friends/family - I'll have a local firm mentioned but then a quick Google will chuck up loads of bad reviews.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks
