I have had several roofers inspect and offer prices to do a few repairs to a flat roof on a small 2 storey terraced house in Kilburn.I now have several wildy different estimates, and would like to know how to go about getting a real estimate.One suggestion I had was to get a surveyor to look at the job, but dont they cost a fortune?

hertfordshire roof leaks

I have a “Farm House” that is leaking over the staircase going to the upstairs. The house has a few layers of shingles already and a flat tar roof over the staircase …. the flat roof has a valley from the peak of the main house … (sorry for a bad description) ..

I’ve tared the flat roof and valley once already, but it is still leaking – I cannot afford to put another roof on till next year – so how can I fix this? Can I take off the flat roof and replace it – and build a valley back to the shingled roof — without taking that off?

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!! I cannot afford much right now – since I’m saving for the entire replacement. Its a 110 yr old house, with good plaster and woodwork, so I don’t want it to get ruined.

You can see what I’m talking about at: http://www.watersedgedewitt.com/roof.JPG

Its a dark picture – but you can see the roof lines and what I’m dealing with.
