    Leakage
    I have hired Chigwell Roofing to repair the leakage from the roof. We agreed the price when he saw the job. I told him to go ahead and paid him £200- deposit. He said the leakage is from around the chimney and that he has to change the lead. He diagnosed it wrongly which I didn't know at the time. He finished the job I paid him another £300- total amount I paid him £500- . A few days later it rained and the leakage happened again. I phoned Lee Knight and he came to check the leakage and he now said the leakage is from the top of the chimney which he needs to repair and he said it will cost me another £180- I said to him it is not fair then he accepted that I will pay for the cost of material only! We arranged for him to come and I waited the whole day for him to come and he didn't show up. My whole day was wasted and for almost a full week I tried phoning him. He said that he had not felt well and then he confirmed that he would come Monday 12/11/23. Once again he hasn't shown up. I have tried again to phone him and again he didn't answer the whole week. When I finally managed to get through to him, he said that he lost his telephone. Again I begged him to come because it is damaging my ceiling. He promised to come 24/11 (again he lied) Today 25/11 he sent a message that I should get someone else to do the job! LEE KNIGHT from Chigwill Roofing is most unreliable, unprofessional that I have ever met.

    Answer from tradesperson:

    So originally no one was home and I was told the leak was around the chimney stack. Once I was on the main roof I could see there was flash band all around the chimney stack that was peeling away and looked in need of repair. I took a picture and recorded a video and sent it to the client. I sent a quote for what I thought needed to be done as I had not been in the property as no one was there and I had just been told on the phone the position of the leak. I sent a quotation and straight away the client wanted to knock money off which I was happy to help with. The deposit that I asked for was to buy materials and secure the customers booking, he paid £50 short than asked for on the agreed quotation but no problem. I carried out the works on the day we agreed and I sent photos of the works completed which the customer was happy with and paid me in full via bank transfer. Customer called 3/4 weeks later to report a leak.Once I attended the customer said the leak is the same leak. Once checked it was not affecting the top floor but the floor below. After further investigation it was the flaunching on the top of the chimney that needed redoing.The customer said that I diagnosed the leak wrong and I should do the works for free I agreed to only charge £40 as a good will gesture.After this I fell ill for 2 weeks and could not attend and once I got back to work I was a week behind and the customer was not happy he was not first in-line and unhappy I wasnt going to do for free

    Roof leak in dorma
    We found Lee to be an honest, reliable and qualified roofer. He came and checked the roof from the outside first and then returned to seal the leak at a very reasonable charge. On his way out, he also happened to note blocked down pipes which he was kind enough to sort out with a permanent fix as thankfully he had the tools to hand. Would definitely recommend.

    Lead flashing on window and porch
    Lee was really responsive, came over quickly to assess the job then gave a couple of options. He fixed the issue quickly and was very good with communication.
