Repair flat felt roof and broken gutters
I hired Martin in November 2019 to repair mMartin is a charming and friendly, outgoing person who has the ability to sell his trade and works. That is the positive side to this feedback.
I hired Martin to replace the flat roof on my bathroom. After agreeing, he and his roofer (Alex) discovered the felt was so deteriorated he gave me a on the spot price to replace it. Martin assured me it would be a new roof to which I agreed, given winter was approaching and his reviews. Work commemced shortly afterward. When the weather was sound, Martin, Alex and removed the old roof and replaced the new one (not 2019 standard).The issues I found out later are:
Neither Alex or Martin advised me what a cold or warm roof was.
It took 3 attempts to install the correct components (a batten) and prevent water running down the external wall into my kitchen. After the third, water still missed the gutter.
Alex accidentally put his foot through my internal ceiling roof. He did put up a moisture repelant board, but would not fill in the cracks due to it being the wrong type of plasterboard.
When I had the internal bathroom ceiling replaced, mould was seen on account no space was present to allow air circulation. Martin claimed it was down to the plasterboards.
Alex has screwed in new joists to the old rotten ones instead of replacing everything, so a roof on the cheap. I'm happy to show pictures showing before and after work with another company if Martin wishes to challenge my feedback.
