Roof Repair Quotation

[littlelitmr]

Hiya. I just got a quote from a roofing firm in Tralee for nearly €7000 to fix a leak in my roof that is going into my bathroom. The area in question is only
4 feet by 9 feet. The area is on the ground floor so no scaffolding is required — barely a ladder. It is a flat-felt roof. Is this excessive or have labor and materials gone up that much in the last four years? I got the entire roof on my bungalow done for less than €10,000 about four years ago. I am a pensioner and know nothing of these things and do believe in paying a fair price for work though. I would appreciate any feedback.

Is this related to your camping trailer, @littlelitmr ?

This is the DIS Camping Board where we often talk about our camping rigs and repairs to them. If it's a camper, what is the make/model/year and how long have you owned it? Scaffolding is not needed IMO for camping trailer repairs.

I don't know anyone here who is knowledgeable about repair rates for County Kerry in the Republic of Ireland (town of Tralee). Would it be something you could attempt to fix yourself if you could share some pictures and details with us?

Hi littlelitmr. I'm pretty sure you meant to post this on a different board. If you post here which board, I can move it there.
