However, midway through, he claimed I had asbestos under the old felt, which would require specialist removal this over double the original price additional £3.000. Concerned I reluctantly agreed to pay more due to poor weather the fact the roof was exposed .
I became suspicious because the asbestos was removed without protective gear and no specialist treatment he claimed needed.
When I looked he did not replace the outlet drainage as initially I said needed .
