roofers

A roofer, roof mechanic, or roofing contractor is a tradesperson who specializes in roof construction. Roofers replace, repair, and install the roofs of buildings, using a variety of materials, including shingles, bitumen, and metal. Roofing work can be physically demanding because it involves heavy lifting, as well as climbing, bending, and kneeling, often in extreme weather conditions. Curled or rotten shingles, missing shingles, and blistering are all signs that roof needs attention.

    Lead in new housing schemes

    Is it me or is the leadwork on a lot of new buils shocking. Loads of big pieces overlapped all over the place. Flashings that are uneven and overlapps that don't overlap they are short. Just a mess.

    Apparently, my flue needs dropping and resealing as water is leaking into the boiler causing it to stop working. Is this a plumbers job or roofers or both? Any idea of costing for this? Also, I need to try sue the company that installed it, as it was installed incorrectly. Is there an official...
