Thanks for the reply, wow £2k fora days work, less boiler cost say £800 etc, is serious money...£10k a week turnover ? That would be nice lol I guess some just decide to charge premium rates, do less work per week but make similar money. I had a new double glazed window fitted in the bathroom....white upvc, casement opening. Some big company quotes were £800.....Local based windo company fitted it for £400 all in, inc vat. They obviously made a profit on the £400 cost, but not so much as the company’s that wanted to charge £800;for the same item ? thanks everyone force feedback ?

Thanks for the replies.....lol re hang it out for 2 days......I won’t be using him, that’s for sure....Doctors don’t get £180 an hour, never mind a heating engineer lol. 3 hours sounds about right.....even 5 hours is fine, but no way 5 hours work for £1300. It will be interesting to see my other quotes......I also had some quotes for having our bathroom refurbished....remove bath, fit shower cubicle, fit shower , fit new whb and toilet. Line walls with aqua panels, chrome radiator, extract fan, water proof laminate floor. It’s a 7ft x 5 ft bathroom. one quote was £4200 all in one was £4200 labour only lol ? one was £7500 all in lol lol lol....must be 2 weeks work ?

Thanks for the reply. Yes he asked for a picture of the existing pipe work to ensure the new boiler would fit. yes, it does seem expensive, I will get some more quotes.

Got a quote of £2300 to have our existing Combi boiler replaced with a Glowworm Ultimate 3 35kw boiler. Fitter will also fit a magnetic filter and chemically flush the system and clean out the filter in between flushing out the cleaner and adding the inhibitor. Given that the boiler costs around £890 all in, with a 10 year warranty, magnetic filter, around £150, I am thinking that approx £1310 for his labour is pretty steep? I’m assuming it’s a 7 hours day work at the most? I would have thought even £50 an hour was generous, never mind £150+ ?

Thank you and I will do. Roofer is due to visit tomorrow. He said he will have a look to see. I have used him at a previous house and he did not do any work on that roof when he visited, as non required, so he should give me an honest opinion/assessment. From the picture he wondered if the batton bellow the tiles in question is broken/rotten. However, during or text message conversation I forgot to mention that we are in an open high exposed windy location, particularly during a storm, as we are the end terrace house.

Could it be wind, as it can be pretty windy where we are, particularly during storms?

Thanks for the replies..I will organise a roofer to check it. No obvious issues inside the loft space. Where we are can get very windy, wonder if the wind has managed to flip them up/move them? Thank you

Hopefully a roofer/expert can give me some feedback ?

Hi folks, I noticed that a few of our roof tiles appear to be slightly raised at the bottom? Any common reason for this and is a repair needed to get them sitting flat against the rile below? Thanks in advance ☺
