I had a serious (buckets) leak when raining and wind was an Easterly. Put off doing anything for years, because I lacked money to pay someone. Anyway, I finally just cut a hole in the gib/drywall when the leak was happening the other day and luckily found the problem that way.
I guess I am saying, give it a go if you can, or alternatively try and do part of the work yourself. Watch some YouTube videos, or ask the advice of friends. In my case I have purchased and put up a cheap scaffolding tower (avoiding one big part of the expense of paying someone else), and I am getting an acquaintance to actually fix the problem.
That's good advice, cheers. I do love to give things ago, plumbing, minor electrical work or even making custom bits and pieces on my lathe.
I'm just not sure about working at heights more than about 4 metres up. I can see tiles loose right up to the apex. Makes me queezy just thinking about it. :D
I'll have to wait for the quotes to come in before I think about what I can do to help.
