Hi
I have a flat double garage roof and have had a number of quotes and estimates, ranging from £700 to £4,300. I have probably settled for the below estimate from a local roofer who has a limited company and been operating for at least seven years.
If anyone would be so kind I would like some observations on the quote and mainly if it is covering everything which is needed to do an excellent job. Several roofers have suggested that I replace the felt completely so I presume that this is the best thing to do.
I have several queries:
1) Does the work below cover everything to a good standard
2) The builder mentioned fibre glass but I can't see this in the quote. Would this be a good thing to add?
3) The optional "Bed twice weathered coping stone" - should I get this done?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help guide a complete newbie!
Ralph
