It wasn't a solar panel sales pitch, for a change, but new roof tiles.
A nearish neighbour has had their roof tiles replaced - 3/4 years back he had the tiles power washed & painted, subsequently he had tile leaks.
At the door this chap said they had installed the new roof tiles at No 3. He was prepared to give me the same price to replace my roof tiles.
I asked him why I needed to replace the roof tiles - age means the roof might leak and he was doing "special prices" in our street.
I said, "I had been up in the loft last week (truth) and no signs of leaks after a couple of days of a lot of rain. 9 months ago I had a man on the roof and the tiles had not moved - 2 tiles replaced due to a small cracks - #1cracked needed changing, #2 crack was caused replacing #1.
None of my kids want / need my house (theirs are much bigger/grander) and I am sure the roof will see me off! (nearly 76)
