Hi,
would be grateful for any advice as a person with very little roofing knowledge!
Had roof cleaned a few weeks back and was advised by the cleaning company that the roof hip/cap needs replacing, had blown off the roof during storms earlier this year - see attached pic. Was advised to get done asap to prevent water ingress / damage
Had local roofer recommended who came out and repaired, but he hasn’t replaced the cap, he has “sealed it with silicone and nailed down” - he said the cap is only cosmetic and doesn’t need replacing
this doesn’t seem right to me, so now thinking of getting another firm to do a proper replacement - from what I have researched he has basically done a temporary repair and it will need sorting in the next few months, is this right?
thanks for any replies
