  1. Yes that's what I noticed. But is it complicated \ costly to do the adaptation? Anything that can go wrong?
  2. Hi, we have a traditional house built in late 80s, with wet verge. The mortar the verge is crumbling. We had a local roofer over and he suggested to take out mortar and undercloack board, then install a button along the verge and screw on dry verge end caps. Is this a proper way of doing it? or should I request to have the mortar replaced?
  3. Thanks for all replies. The project involved replacing soffits and fascias. The company replaced the old wood stuff with pvc. For all we knew they have done the job well. However, it became apparent that the way the fascia boards were mounted was too high which kicked up the pitch of tiles in the last row. The company also "installed" eaves trays but they never fixed them properly, nevermind making sure they overlapped by 150mm. All these was discovered when we started getting rain in the soffits and water dripping on a bedroom window! When it happened first time, the company came back and "fixed" the issue (looking retrospectively and with a bit more knowledge, I think they basically did nothing to even try to understand what the problem was). The problem reappeared the following year, so w decided to hire a roofer to have a look and he confirmed the fascia boards were installed too high which would cause the water to drip down back to soffits. Now, the company wants to sort it out for us. But my question is, is it going to be an easy job to either cut down existing pvc fascia board or will it need to be taken down. Perhaps we should get in someone more professional who can sort it once and for all.
  4. Hi, maybe a simple question but I'm not sure who to ask. We had work done on area of the roof and now we noticed that things were not done as they should have. Should we ask the same team who has done the work to correct it or pay someone else to avoid further issues with more things going wrong? It is worth adding that we have a situation where the company thinks they know what they are doing but the reality is contrary and we are worried that when they come back to sort out / correct few things they'll just mess up something else. Thanks
  5. Hi, I need advice on how our dry ridge got installed. Please see the attached photos. The roofing company replaced one broken ridge tile with a different type one, however the dry ridge plastic connection between the old one and the new type seems to be off. I don't think anything is leaking yet. Should I ask them to redo it? Will it leak? Thanks for your time.
