Any roofers/builders out there?
Just had 2 quotes to re-point the ridge tiles and hips on my house and garage.
First guy said there would be no need to remove the ridge tiles but just to rake out the old mortar and re-point. £920 This guy has done 2 properties in my road and his work looks good and the property owners seem to be happy.
Second guy said he will need to remove and re-bed all the aforementioned then point up. He's currently doing the roofline of a neighbour. He gets 5-star reviews online. £1650
My question is: Am I better going with the guy who will remove and re-bed or the other on the basis that if it aint loose don't remove it?
Any thoughts?
