Three scammers offered to re-mortar the edges of my roof tiles for a
reasonable sum.

While they were up there they lifted a ridge tile claiming the whole
lot were now loose and for a large sum would be prepared to redo them.
I declined, paid what had been agreed an they left.

Later I found the remains of what looks like the lifted tile. We now
have a bucket beneath a gaping whole in our roof.


Please report it to the police (you could mention criminal damage).
While I can't see that doing anything to help you, with luck it'll be
logged and may help push the buggers up the agenda for action - if only
a quiet word if they are seen in the area.

I did as soon as I found the broken tile. Thank you.




If they were cold callers and you paid them cash then more
fool you. Never deal with these people. Never pay cash,
never pay 'deposits' because proper contractors will have
30-day accounts with suppliers.
