Roofer and builder needed - Urgent
Hi all,
I have an urgent roofing and building problem. While away up north, one of my carpeted rooms flooded from what appears to be an internal gutter overflowing/leaking and the water travelling down within the house wall and existing on the carpet. It is not obvious where the leak is up above.
I have tried ringing many roofers but none reply, others haven't turned up and the closest I can get anyone to do an inspection is the end of January! The carpet has been dried by Jaes but that will not fix the causal problem - the wall is still showing moisture.
Even the insurance company has no recommendations.
I need a roofer and probably a builder to take the room lining down and probably replace the gutter.
Recommendations please preferably before the next downpour!
Thanks,
Diana
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
