I choose Graham Openshaw from East London who ran away with my money after paying him as full when he wanted deposit so he just acknowledge receiving money and never turned up. I am a pensioner and he took my money.
He appeared to know what he was taking about and shortly after leaving sent me a written quote on G.O.Maintenance paper. He wanted 80% deposit which was a bit steep I felt but he was able to stars as soon as roofing sheets arrived from Jhb. I was anxious to get the job done so the deposit of R 8857.80 was transferred to his bank. Every time we spoke about actually starting the job he would advise sheets hadn't arrived until a query by me with supplier revealed the sheets were a stock item!. From then on Openshaw no longer responded to telephone calls made by me to him or his office. The matter has been handed over to SAPS Fraud Squad and hopefully they will be able to track him down. Of interest is that his quote was for 6 clear roofing sheets at R1100 per sheet whilst in reality the roof only had 2 clear sheets so the other 4 sheets were to bolster the quote.

Problem : Mazista Natural Slate Roof replacement (or fully refurbish with new underlayer). My slate roof is in need of full underlay refurb / replacement by specialist slater, or full replacement alternatives eg . metal, shingle etc. It is steeply pitched double storey at 51 deg with multiple large dormers ( x7 ). Total sloped (ie. slated) roof surface is sqm. The fibre-cement gutters can support ladders. Cost of full underlay refurb versus new outer material covering will be key, however migration to a much lighter roofing material like steel (1/5 est) is a strong factor since de-trussing inner sections will allow creation of wanted loft space, so may override cost concerns. Currently replacement thinking is new Standing Seam metal zincalume type covering (if possible due to complexity of dormer valleys), but also metal shingle look alike products, or simply Everite fibre-cement mitred slates. Bearing in mind that the current trusses will be more than capable of supporting any other roofing material without much modification. P.S. See attachment pictures to give a better idea of the dormers and valleys.

Hi there I am staying in the complex I want to repaint my house, the house is basically a 3 bedroom house with a kitchen and a sitting area. I am not sure of the square meters. The house has 2 colours I need a professional that will stick to the painting design and just refresh it that's it. I would like to paint the outside too, the gate. Please feel free to contact me for more info. Thank you
The house to be built is about square meters. I already have the plans but I need your e mail address to forward it to you. The project would be in Hermon, 24 km from Wellington and 30km from Malmesbury. On this plan we need the IBR sheeting to be one whole length sheet of say 1,5 meter wide and 19 meter long. Is such an animal realisable or do I have it miss. work on the complete roofing for this house. Thus kindly send me your e mail and you will then get the plan to compile your quote. Thanks.

The water is getting under the belcony tiles which has caused dampnest of my wall and the paint is pealing off. It's only 6sqm the tiles has to be removed, and torch-on bitumen applied then re-tiled. I want it done as soon as the walls and the belcony has dried completely. Because the last guy that did it said it would last 10 years and it's not even 6, the second picture is to show the state of the walls directly below the belcony. Apologies for my tone but I'm drive texting I won't have time later to do this. But you can send me the qoutes incase I'm unable to answer when you call as my days are usually extreme. Thanks so much for your time.

I Have 2 x adjoining room spaces with existing concrete slab roofing Approximately 90sqm in total. When i say slab i mean, this was not done to standard by the looks of it. When it rains it leaks and varies probably between 50 - mm thickness, butt brittle as it can be. Bought this house as is. Concrete is cracking and breaking off and pieces fall down. I would like to replace the concrete roofing with IBR sheeting. Need a new registered with Municipality drawing for the change and also would like to break through one wall which already has plinth supports in (this was a large window previously it seems). We will do the breakout and build with our own contractor.
