    Best wishes for the New Year everyone!

    My girl has just been told that the tin roof on her place needs replacement and has been quoted about 6 -7k. Being early New year she has not been able to get other quotes. I was wondering if you good people could recommend a switched on guy or girl to get further quotes from. The house is in the Lane Cove NSW.

    Many Thanks

    Swany

    Surely the entire roof doesn't need replacing?

    If it's tin sheets, there must be a good number of them that are still ok – just get the offending ones ripped out and replaced.

    Someone like "The Grey Army" could do that job, or a local handyman.

    Doesn't need to be a plumber. You could do it yourself Swany. Great fun.

    Hi Marc and thanks for the reply.

    The roof is an extension and according to a roof guy sourced from the paper does need to be replaced. I have not seen it my self yet and I was thinking the same as you (fix the crook sheets). Not heard of the "Grey Army" before. Are they listed as such in the yellow pages or where can I find them?

    Cheers

    Don't know if they are Aus wide; we used them a couple of times on the Mornington Peninsula in Vic a few years ago.
    try the Yelow Pages, the White Pages,

    here's the google;

    Try your luck in the North Shore TImes – I know that I have actually found a few gems in there over the years, including a bricky whos advert appeared in the wrong section. (Possibly the roofing professionals at Artarmon – or contact Plumbers Supply Co-op or Reece at Artarmon they might help you out).

    Scott No Mates,

    Thanx for the advice. If anyone has any names to offer in the North Shore area I would be grateful.
