    Neighbours Won't Repair Our Roof

    I live in the ground floor flat, and my neighbours on the 1st floor flat - above them there is the roof. We are both leaseholders of our separate flats, and by contract the ownership of the roof belongs to them. The roof has multiple holes, and due to a recent storm tens of tiles have slipped down causing enough damage that when it rains, it rains heavily into my flat, as well as theirs. I spoke to them and as they are planning to move out at some point in the future, they refuse to carry out any maintenance work. We are paying into an insurance that covers repairs, but they would have to pay up to £2000 of extra, which they refuse to do also. I am extremely concerned by this situation and would like to know how to convince them to take care of repairing the roof?

    Average cost of 10 low pitch roof tiles with labour cost

    Can I have a rough estimate of how much it might cost to purchase 10 low pitch roof tiles from a supplier? Where are the best places to go to find these tiles? How about websites online too? If I hire a roofer to fit these roof shingles in place of old tiles, how much can I expect to pay as the labour cost? Will it cost much extra to have the old roof tiles removed?
