Here are the positives: They worked well on the issue, and seem to have done a good job. Awaiting a spell of rain which will test the work. Now, here is the other part that needs to be noted carefully: They arrived on rainy afternoon to examine the narrow area. I asked for a thorough check so that the leak is sealed up. Up on the ladder, Ted’s colleague even picked felt off the gully, crumbling it in his hand to demonstrate it needs replacing. Another trader only needed photographs to show this was needed. Still, after a chase up, the written quote was provided 4 days later. The price was reasonable and competitive. Quote instantly accepted. Workers arrived that morning and the same person as before went up the ladder Immediately, he reported some decaying wood battens. He then increased the price 3.5 times, a massive increase. The reason it wasn’t mentioned for the written estimate: it was raining on the other day, and so he “couldn’t see”.
Other neutral and negative reviews on here were correct - be vary of the big surprise and be very very careful.
