I own my terraced house and the neighbour next door is a council house. The roof between the houses needs repaired and the council have sent us a bill for the repair with very little detail of what is needing done.
I got a roofer out myself and he quoted £2500 less for the job than the council are asking for, I rang the council and they are claiming that tiles need replaced but the roofer I got out said no tiles were damaged and only the flashings need replaced and cracks in the roof need repaired.
Can the council force me to pay or can I go with the cheaper quote? Has anyone else had a similar experience and what was the outcome?
