We are back Gents.
So I've bought a house, hopefully moving in in April. The roof is possibly going to need replacing, we are getting a few quotes.
We've worked an agreement out with the vendor for paying for any potential repairs, but I don't want to get shafted. When arranging work this big, I know you should never pay up front, but can I also arrange a contract to ensure a workman sticks to their quoted budget?
The whole process has really shined a light on how very little I know about this stuff. Don't worry, I won't be attempting to replace the roof myself.

Biggest problem we are having atm is the estate agents dragging their feet. We got a homebuyers survey done and it was unbelievably scary, they are really overly critical of houses to cover their own back. Thankfully for us the vendors have been awesome and have pretty much paid to have everything raised on our survey fixed. Shout out to Outrageous76 for some mad roof tips btw |

Couple we are buying from are buying a bungalow that the same estate agent has sold so should help ease the hassle. House we buying needs a bit of updating to bathroom and kitchen so 'fun' times ahead |

One for the professionals that I think Ho. Sure it's easy enough but doubt it's worth the risk. |

Can I ask why you want to change your brake fluid? |
