Moved into my house nearly 4 years ago, early last year the roof of the kitchen came in. Basically it's an end terrace house with an extension on the kitchen. The fool who put the extension put tiles on it but the angle of the roof isn't steep enough (only maybe 25 degrees) so he should have used a slate roof. With a tiled roof if you get enough wind and rain, the wind will drive the rain back up under the tiles and start a leak.
Did a patch job last year because it was a month before my wedding so I was short on cash and time. Plastered the inside and outside of the roof with roof seal stuff, put up a new ceiling and hoped for the best.
Last night after holding out for a year and a half, it started leaking again. Gonna have to bite the bullet this time and get the tiles off and slates on. Anyone have a clue what kind of price to expect? The extension part is roughly 20 x 20 feet. House is about 35 years old, extension about 8.
I have tracked down a few recommended roofers, but it will be early next week before I can get quotes. Anyone got a rough idea?
