Dry verge install

Question

Traders on here have been very helpful in the past, hope you can be again. 

This question is in 2 parts really. I recently had a dry verge installed that was quoted at £650, and was then told that the felt behind the mortar had deteriorated badly so I needed 2 m of new felt and batten which would take 2 days. I was left with a bill for £2.5k, after the work was done in a day. Does this seem fair? 

The second part of this question is that the dry verge looks very wonky. My understanding is that it should look relatively flush and straight and shouldn't really deviate. Is this right? It looks worst at the peak of the roof where it appears to tilt away from the roof.

No not at all all they have done is extend your batton so can prob nail your dry verge to lol it should be screwed and as for the Wookey bit prob where they haven't fitted and just slotted in as they interlock

Driver systems are a very good idea providing you use a string line to make sure it is dead straight estimated cost for something like this would be between £650 and £900 with Scaffolding as well for safety purposes. It sounds like the people that you got in decided to rip you off and tell you there was more problems with the roof once I started always make sure You see photo evidence of any work that needs to be done before you agree it

Lewis · Answer

It should be straight but if it is going off a brickwork wall it has to be tight to the wall with the felt work that seems reasonable
