Roof Repairs

[Dodge245]

Hi all,

Recently i have purchased a property but am having a few issues with the roof, been trying to find roofers over the last couple of weeks but struggling(any recommendations for roofers in the north east, bedlington/cramlington area welcome)

currently there is a leak through the adjoining chimney which is affecting my interior wall, i believe this is due to insufficent flashing(picture below).

i also have a ridge tile that requires replacing

and a question whether this is acceptable adjoining guttering

At the moment im wondering if anyone could give a rough guide on how much these repairs would cost, and any advice on how to get hold of roofers for the job? ive asked around with little success so am a bit stuck.

Thank You for your time.

Chimneyhead i would ask for neighbours cooperation and have it removed and tiled/slated over if unused.

Ridge tile £40 £60ish

Gutters are fine, i would bridge a slip of lead over the join though.

thanks for the reply, doesnt sound as if it will cost too much then, just found out today after a full days rain that the flat roof in the kitchen leaks through the light fitting :/ managed to get a roofer for Wednesday(although rain is forecast everyday next week) can i apply Flexycryl to the flat roof to stop the leak? may just ask the roofer to do it but fear how much it might actually be.

better to ask the roofer for the job.
