Sorry for the long post.
I had my flat roof done on my kitchen last year. However it was done badly and I've now had the roof redone by another firm.
With this second firm, I agreed to the estimate but when the guys arrived to do the work, they said it had been overboarded etc so it was going to cost more to get fixed.
The guy at the office called me and said it would be an extra £900 which I verbally agreed to. I wish I hadn't and to be honest, I don't see why I should as it was their fault for not assessing the roof properly in the first place.
As they were doing the work, they also damaged my kitchen ceiling which I'm waiting on them to come out and fix. A plasterer has been in contact.
As part of the job they also removed and replaced my gutter. Can someone tell me if the gutter would have needed to be removed and replaced as part of this job? I've lived in the house 4.5 years and the guttering has been fine but it is mentioned on the invoice and not on the estimate. I've outlined the main differences below
Sorry if I sound dim but I'm a young woman living alone and tradesmen, albeit well recommended, are not always reliable.
