Hi
I am in Maidenhead, Berkshire. Any idea what would be a reasonable estimate to replace 2 cracked tiles on my roof. I’ve also asked to check the felt underlay underneath . House is a bungalow so not working at massive height but scaffolding is seemingly required. £700 + VAT?

Thanks
Mick
 
Get another couple of quotes.
Some companies use scaffold for every job working at height..smaller 1 man bands not so much, a couple of tiles on a bungalow would not be anything near the £700 mark..couple of hundred where I am at most.
Why do you need your underfelt checked?
 
The trigger was water coming through a ceiling , I was able to get to the ingress point by taking out some insulation , there was a rip in the felt that the water was getting through. I’ve patched that myself on the inside for now. I’m a bit paranoid about the state of the roof , last owners did very little maintenance, we had to have the ridge line remortared last Sep as that was crumbing so water may have been getting in for a while (but running down the felt / celotex.hence suggestion to have a look while they have tiles lifted. I forgot to mention the job involves replacement of a ridge tile as well - I managed to get up there and patch it as a quick fix but needs properly done
 
Even with a ridge tile it is still a bit steep.
Keep your roof maintained and it will not matter about the underfelt.
 
Scaffold for 2 tiles?
Need to find tiles and swap which is 10min job.
£100 Ish with a roof check
 
It's a bungalow.
I'd use a ladder and stay.

Recently I seen a cherry picker used on a bungalow. Guy jumper off and run around roof.
I can't understand the logic other than the company policy.

Local roofer will use ladder or other imo. Be up on roof in minutes.

Anyway. Agr tower takes 5 mins to put up. Rapid. Really clever making other tower designs obsolete
 
Two tiles marked, ridge tile is in line with these

tell them to jog on.
The tiles will need to come from a reclamation yard, ebay "Somerset Interlocking Clay Tiles" they wont be easy to come across.

to replace 10 - 15 minutes
 
Thanks - I’ve inherited about 15 spare and picked up another 25 last weekend from a house rebuild in Reading via eBay. The roofers on the last job said they’d never seen them before
