We had a plumber around to attend to a couple of niggling water leaks (which he did....and, no, it wasn't cheap!). He had been recommended to us as he was said to be "user-friendly" (more-or-less true, at least when we finally managed to arrange a time for him to come, he in fact arrived at that time) and also because he could arrange for our tile roof to be maintained. We've had a few bits of the "pointing" fall to the ground recently, and from what we can see from ground level, a few more bits seem ready to go.
Yes, the plumber did indeed have a relationship with a roof guy. But what took me back was his observation about how tricky it is to persuade roof people to make - and honour - a firm commitment! And it's better not even to try not in winter, much better to wait for dryer weather.
Well, if the plumber thinks roof guys are hard to pin down unreliable ....... and he has some sort of connection with one of them ...... it's just as well the roof work seems not to be urgent (at least, not yet)!
