  1. I might suggest that which seems very reasonable. the only problem is that my current window is 55X68 which are not sold anymore. Hence that he could not find the flashing. But sure it should not be a big job if he replaces it with a 55x78? thank you all for your replies. First time home owner and had a couple of hiccups with the roofer but I feel more confident if you all think is not something particularly bad.
  2. So what can I do now that he got paid and left. I demand that he comes back and finds a proper flashing by and replaced it for free? Regarding the tiles by the dry fixed gutter, does that have any solution at this point?
  3. So the gaps by the neighbours roof are no good? ? I chose slate (in this case fibre cement slate) because he said that they last longer than tiles. I actually asked him to quote me to get a new window with triple glazing as so on and he said that there is nothing wrong with this window that I should keep it
  4. The roof had red tiles before and the Velux window has been there for 20 years so maybe that explains why it is so bulky and the window sits so high? I just remembered that the roofer said that because it was an old window he couldn’t find any flashing? I initially wanted to re roof with the same type of tile of he adviced on Getting slate To fit with the other houses in the neighbourhood. Now I think I should had gone for tiles ? do you think this is going to cause any issues (leaks, etc?)? We Will probably Sell the house in 5-10 years I hope this is not going to come back to us because it looks uneven. I got a few close ups of “the gaps”
  5. So I did a full reroof recently. The damage we were getting was back so we decided to go with the only company operating during lockdown... this is a picture of the back of the house. There is a slope between the joint that they put to separate my house and my neighbours and the slates don’t sit flat on top of each other. More noticeable is the slates around the Velux window. I didn’t give it any importance initially but it just Doesn’t sit right with me. Should I call the roofer back?
