Hi all


The roof of the 2 bedroom mid-terrace I rent out in Outer London is leaking and I have obtained quotes from three Checkatrade companies for repair work.   However I am not technically well versed in roofing nomenclature so I am not sure of how different the work being offered is, or which quote is the best in terms of value for money.  Photos of the damage are linked and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, it can cause a scalp rash, which is a red, itchy bump on the scalp. Folliculitis can be caused by a number of different things, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites. The most common cause of folliculitis is Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), a bacterium that lives on the skin and can cause skin infections. P. acnes can also cause folliculitis by causing inflammation in the hair follicles.

An attempt at advertising by skin care and spa company.  Except that they screwed up entering their URL (part of which I have deleted), which is why it didn't appear in the post until quoted.
