Poor leadwork from Checkatrade member

Just had to completely replace lead to a chimney which had previously been done by a Checkatrade member.
Customer had complained to Checkatrade nothing was done.
We have replaced all the leadwork, repaired damage they caused to underlay and provided the correct tiles.
I sent photos of the previous repairs to Checkatrade again completely ignored.
I wonder how these Roofers are still members!

Lead Damp Course Heatherside Camberley

Correct way to install damp course to chimney stack

 

 

 

 

Customer had damp to the internal walls several attempts had been made on roof repairs
It was obvious to us the existing dpc had broken down and the only way to cure the problem was by installation of a lead damp proof course, this entailed the removal of the brickwork to old dpc level installation of lead and re-building the chimney stack.
