I feel your pain.
I wanted decorating done before Christmas.
I was let down by 3 tradespeople, one of whom made 3 different appointments and still never turned up.
I did get it done in January by a super man who will be my go to in future but the frustration was immense and affected my Christmas planning.
Good luck with your roof.

Have you tried contacting an Asbestos removal company first? Some building contractors won’t touch asbestos. Once it’s removed you might have more luck with a roofer.

That is so annoying MayBee and there's no answer to it.
Here's hoping it just slipped his mind as he went straight home for his tea, and you'll hear from him today.

I’ve had an ongoing problem with my garage roof for years. It’s a flat felted roof which leaks. And has dangerous asbestos on the ceiling. On a local Facebook page a property repair company said they would look at and give quotes for leaking roofs. So I rang them, explained in detail the problem but said I didn’t want to waste their time if they couldn’t help. He said that, as he lived near to my village he’d stop off on his way back tonight. So I moved everything away from the windows so he could see outside and delayed my evening meal. Of course, he never turned up. Maybe, just maybe he might turn up another day but I doubt it. At least, for a few hours I felt rejuvenated as I thought I might be on the way to solving what has been a problem for a long time. I mean, he didn’t have to say he’d come over. Feel so deflated.
