AdaminCymru Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I would be most grateful for some advice here re some additional costings during a project. I am the homeowner and appreciate that additional work is required: - supply and fit of a 152x152x30 (9m span) steel ridge beam in a loft. It can be spliced in 3 sections if preferred. There is an existing loft extension but after strip out we discovered there was no ridge beam so this has been spec’d by the engineer. My existing quote from the builder includes scaffolding and all other works related to the dormer construction. Priced £5250 inc vat. - Marley duo concrete roof tiles for a 55m2 pitched roof including re-felt and battons. New lead flashing, UPVC fascia, softfits and dry verge, guttering to this area only. Priced £12840 inc vat. again scaffolding already in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I’d be more inclined to get a fabricator to quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I’ll be better informed when negotiating with my builder with a comparable quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
