Don’t diss emoticons, they’re boss! 
Think I will change my lock at some point. Well have to really. I can get a friend to fit it.
Had a couple more quotes in for reroofing the whole of the front. £3200 (inc VAT) by a FMB firm and approx. £1550 by a bloke who doesn’t advertise but goes by word of mouth. I actually have good feeling about this bloke and am thinking I may go with him, I was thinking that even before he said the price and the price is just the topping on the cake but is it too good to be true? Would I be being dumb and deluded to go with him? Someone on here said “you get what you pay for”, that’s playing with my mind.
He offered to add references in with his written quote so I’ll check them out when I get them but for all I know they may be recommendations by his family and friends if he’s a con artist. Although I know someone’s happy with his work cos that’s how I heard about him and got his number. Seems as clued up as any of the other more expensive people and he said he could see the cracks in my lead valleys straight away and that they’re obvious, he went up with some Leadmate and slammed some of that on as a temporary measure. He said there’s a 10 year guarantee but the bloke I had screw it up this summer had that too but look where that got me.
Oh and he suggested I get new tiles, he said it’s up to me though if I want them or not but thinking about it it seems a good idea. He said mine look about 20 yrs old and that they usually last about 50-60 years and that for adding new ones is only about £250 extra for me so I think I’ll go with that if it means I get an extra 20 years without having to reroof. If I stay in the house ‘til I’m old I don’t really wanna reroof (I never want to have to go through this again) and if I sell I guess saying there’s new tiles is a good selling point.
Anyway what do you think? Is £1550 for reroofing the front asking for trouble?
