Chris Grayling. I can't think of a more incompetent politician, yet he somehow keeps getting cabinet jobs. Given the calibre of the current cabinet, to be as mediocre as Grayling is a stunning achievement.

Not on my watch...
What is all that I've just posted????
Aye, roofing sounds dead easy, marauding about on an exposed roof in winter, that is generally in a shit state because it'll be one of the last things folks spend money on, and in reality it'll be in such a state of disrepair that anything you do will be basically a sticking plaster on an infected area, and you know if you dare uggested to the home owner that they actually need a shit load of work done, they'll call someone else that'll do the aforementioned sticking plaster repair, for cheap.
Bugger that for a job.

Like I said, third-party software suppliers

No beer - the flat roof was 5 years old.
Poly - I was formerly a lawyer 🙂
Isn't there an implied term about work to a reasonable standard? What protection is there? I like a wee legal scrap.

and that's why I stopped working and joined the fire service 😉
Nobeer pretty much nails it. To complicate things further you get issues going back the lifetime of the building like slates not having enough overlap (whole roof needs redone), water gates and gullies not being wide enough (made to tie in with 1/2 and whole slate integers but not big enough for the job), porous stonework. Flat roofs being re felted on top of sheet materials that's not properly supported and/or turned to Weetabix.
I've seen a flat roof dormer where the weight of the structure was taken by 18mm chipboard on the floor below; there was no structure directly under this so the whole dormer had sagged about 25mm and moved about enough to cause the felt to fail. Roofer was up every few months to try and reseal things.
Al, sounds like you need a roofer up on your roof who can think outside the box a bit.
Is it too late to suggest "any public sector position"?
No apologies if it's not.
