Hi all

We have a persistent damp issue on a wall, which has been diagnosed as coming via the roof/parapet wall/coping stones area. We've had a quote to repair it, from a tradesman recommended here who seems to know what he's talking about, but how do I get the work guaranteed effectively? He says he'll guarantee the work but is that enough?

I've read the stories on EDF of roofers who say they guarantee but then don't fulfil it.

I thought there was a guarantee you can get that protects you even if your tradesman doesn't fulfil - some kind of indemnity insurance I think. Does anyone know of this - or has anyone found a solution that protects the homeowner? Roofing work is so specialist and expensive - we want the work done but would like a bit of reassurance - if it exists!

  The Post Offices and the Royal Mail should be renationalised. Massive mistake privatising industries where competition doesn't work properly and certainly does not offer any advantage to end users.

  Labours head of communications really should be advising Kier better. We've had, so far, the budget will be bad, we've inherited a 20 billion black hole, the NHS is broken, and today "Britain isn't working" in relation to jobs and apprenticeships Whilst honesty is a good thing, there are better ways of wording things Negativity drives negativity in situations like this, especially in business and businesses are what labour requires to grow the economy and offer jobs to the unemployed. It does feel like Captain Kier has turned into Private Frazer crying "we're all doomed"
