One of the tiles has blown off my roof at the gable end - what sort of money would I expect to pay to get it replaced? I'm guessing between £50-100 or am I wrong?

Get up there on your bike. I seem to remember that your pretty good at getting off roof's on one.

The irony that your an estimator for a construction company is not lost on me either.

£180 call out charge.

Try Shawcross in Wigan.

I think we had some (maybe 8-10) slates done on our terraced house earlier in the year for about £150. Our roofer gave a free quote and then came back within a week and fixed the lot.

And on our other house (a 5 storey flat) I fixed a roof problem myself. We had a major leak last weekend. Waited til the next day and went and had a look (5 storeys is a long way up!). Replaced about 5 tiles that had shifted and patched and repaired a load of flashing. Would have cost us £100's to get a roofer in. I fixed it for... £11 (or less than £2 per flat)! We had 2 climbing harnesses and rope so we could be safe - ladders weren't an option up there. No leaks since despite horrible weather so I am happy...
