Hi everyone and thank you for reading this. I have a terraced Victorian house which needs a roof replacement. Company A: - inspected roof and loft space, sent me videos to comment; noticed water ingress in the loft - offered to keep existing tiles to keep price down - new membranes, battens, eaves support trays, repair of current chimney lead work, dry ridge, bonding gutters -25years guarantee -25% deposit, rest when works are complete Company B: - much quicker visit, did not go up the loft but went all the way up to the chimney via outside, took photos for own reference - offered new tiles and all of the above plus uPVC soffit and fascia, new lead flashing around the chimney and new concrete ridge tiles, new cement flaunching to the chimney and repoint - 20 years guarantee - 25% deposit, 25% half way through, rest when works are finished They both quoted the same price and both companies have glowing reviews. Which one would I be better off using? Or none of the two sounds ok to you? Thank you so much. South East.
