He was literally able to lift the ridge tiles off as the cowboys who had re-bedded them previously had used next to no cement in the mix
Also found the chimney brickwork pointing was in such a mess that it was allowing damp in
Ah well... £600 but at least it will be done properly this time.

Mike, one or two of the photos in the wolverhampton nano meets gallery show the area on the house next door but not in any detail.

The last time we had ridge tiles "replaced" we were ripped off and hence my hope that somebody I could trust would do the job..
That is exactly my concern, my mother has a small leak in her garage flat roof. Brother in law who is supposed to be a builder turned up with a tube of mastic. When I pointed out to him that the fault lay with the adjoining flashing to a wall, he said, oh yeah better come back with some sand and cement....
I think your best bet is to get three quotes from local roofers, your local Trading Standards Office should have a list.
Do any of the many photographs of our meets at you house show the offending roof line?

PaulT - a capital suggestion - thank you. That would clearly address my concerns.

I'm a little different to you, I do not mind heights but absolutely do not like going up ladders.
