    Aye there's too many folk think it's easy. Feckin mother in law was criticising roofers who were retiling one of her outhouses (paid for by landlord) and I said to her it's funny how people seem to become experts yet they've never laid a brick or plastered a wall or been up a ladder in 25mph winds. That soon shut her up.

    Thuzza lot o bad workmen art theear and ridge tiles need pointin up reight rather than a thin layer o cement being slapped on to bodge it up cos ittull be weshed off weein 18 months if they dunt do it reight and that's good money darn swannee. Tha might be best getting a recommendation off sumbdy tha knows locally mi owd.

    Building sites always have been notoriously dangerous , I remember years ago working on a site where a Hod Carrier trod on trap batten and fell through , he didn't die but he was badly injured , no HS as such in late 60s,

    I've done quite a bit of my own roof work over the years including 4 full new roofs. I'd always scaffold it. You fall off, get injured, the customer won't be there to look after you for life. It's not being a fairy, just common sense.

    My mate's a great roofer here in Brid but Sowerby Bridge is a bit far SB. I'm sure you'll get sorted.
