No doubt that was expensive! Roofers in Essex seem to charge £40 per hour ! Just got charged £1500 for some new batons, felt (well the cheap membrane they use now) and some tiles replaced and the gable edge re-cemented. Took 4 men 1 day.
It's turned into a bigger job than they were expecting (no surprise to me, the electrics took 3 extra days, the heating an extra day, the windows 2 extra days, the "posh shed" an extra 3 days... my house is like a black hole for tradesmen). They've had to replace a few tiles and two boards of decking, as well as contend with 35-mph gusts.
Seven man-days later and the edging still needs to be done, and the kitchen extension still needs its 3rd layer. Both will be done this week, sometime, but it's water-tight for now.
The cost? £6800, which covers 60sqm of roof. Not exactly cheap, but it's in line with pricing generally here.
I've been quoted £800 to re-cement the gable edge and I may well take them up on it, means I won't have to worry about winds as much this winter (my least favourite weather type).
