Title: Dry Verges
Post by Daniel3103 on Jul 9^th, 2024, 5:13pm

[gallery]Daniel3103/1720541365.jpg[/gallery] Hello,

I need some advice about replacing some dry verges on my bungalow.
I had some dry verges fitted to the front of my bungalow a couple of years ago and, recently, a couple of them have fallen off, as you can see on the photo. Since they were fitted, I have discovered that the roofer who fitted them was a rogue (he did other jobs that caused problems too) and, recently, another roofer came to give me advice and a quote about this. He said that the dry verges that were in place would need to be removed and replaced by new ones, because they couldn’t be re-used. He also said that the job would cost me about a thousand pounds in total if done properly, including materials, labour and putting up scaffolding.

What are peoples’ thoughts on this advice? Does it seem about right, or not?

Without seeing it it’s not possible to say but the quote sounds reasonable enough.
