So I’ve just had a quote…

 

Includes repair to the chimney stack and cleaning, moss removal, etc. 

 

Three grand.      
 

I think I’ll get another quote! 

 

 

£500, a ladder, a Karcher, 12 cans of Beavertown Neck Oil and an extra 3 shots next time we play golf 

 

Edit: That DOES NOT include any chimney stack repair.

 

And it doesn't come with a guarantee.

A couple of hundred for roof cleaning, gutters and windows is ridiculously cheap and I would question the work done. Was it just a roof scrape? (Even then still cheap) any chemicals used, where they a legit company with insurance exc.

Roof scrape and treatment with an anti fungal spray. Just double checked with the missus it was £400+ I might have underestimated with a couple of hundred, I knew it seemed very reasonable.

I’m setting up a new business I think, £3k 👀, next to no overheads or materials. I’m in the wrong game.

Ha ha, yes very reasonable  

 

£400+ I’d say is a fair price.

Agree!
 

I got a bit more info from my other half (I wasn’t there for the quote). 
 

The guy who came round said it was a two day job with scrape, steam clean and not power wash, repointing where needed, re-render of the chimney and anti-fungal treatment all over. 
 

Still expensive, but maybe a little more understandable. 
 

Someone coming round tomorrow so I’ll have a better idea of what’s a realistic amount.

£1200 for mine (if I pay cash).

Actually sounds like a bargain- I've had it with the bloody moss!
