What to discuss
Moisture beside a chimney can involve several components. Masonry, pointing, the top cover and roof flashing should therefore be assessed separately. State whether the flue is still in use: flue work requires different expertise from repairs to the external masonry and roof junction.
Agree what is included
A clear proposal distinguishes what stays, what is removed and what is newly installed. Ask which connections and finishes are included and which findings remain uncertain. Record changes and their price before giving approval.
What affects the price?
Compare the same roof sections and tasks before comparing prices. The total should explain materials, preparation, removal, access equipment and finishes, with clear exclusions and a process for approving additional work.
Preparing the work
Take photographs only from a safe place. Do not climb onto the roof yourself.
Tell us about your roof
Give the address, affected roof section and when the problem occurs or what you want to improve.
Inspection and proposal
Agree the inspection and its fees, then review materials, tasks, costs and any open questions.
Agree the work and access
After approval, arrange access and scheduling. Changes and additional work are discussed before proceeding.
Completion and maintenance
Review the completed work, keep the documents and agree how to report concerns and arrange maintenance.
