Due to the heavy rain last week, water started into my ceiling in the extension part of the building.
I've had a quote from a local roofer and he's quoted me the following:
It appears the leak is coming from the metal roof where the previous installer decided to nail part of the roof.
I've since put silicon all around this to stop the water from getting in, but the timber barges on the side are deteriorating and the white sheet eaves have also started to come off.
I've got a quote to install barge flashings on both sides of the time roof (measures about 10m on one side and 7m on the other side) - no mention of the white sheet eaves being replaced/repaired and the quote has come to $1,200.
In addition I also showed him a section on the back of the roof where the metal roof meets the pergola roof, and its leaks there too in heavy rain because it doesnt extend far enough.
He said he would install some transition flashing between the metal roof and the clear pergola roof which would stop this from happening and quoted me $880.
I also went up into my attic to look at the roof on the original part of the building (tiled) and i noticed water was leaking there too. It never made its way to the ceiling because i have wood panels installed on top so I can store stuff in the attic.
I also had the roofer look at that, and he said the valleys were rusted and needed to replaced. The quote for this was $1,800.
It does look at bit expensive from what I see (total of $3,880), and im wondering what should it be really costing and if anyone can recommend a roofer who can fix these problems for me at a cheaper price. I was really hoping all this would be less than $1,000.... or am i just being naive?
