I bought this on behalf of a friend and he is happy with it.

Roofing and Insulation, well illustrated fairly informative but not enough on general roofing. Sections on flat roofing, insulation, soffits and gutters are more informative than general roofing. No information on finding leaks in general roofs, no references to best mortar mixes for bedding ridge tiles.The most annoying thing was a chapter entitled "Expensive Jobs" which suggest calling in a contractor! Sorry but I am looking for a book on roofing repairs that I can do myself as I am fed up with the contractors I've used in the past who charge the earth and gallop off into the sunset with my hard earned leaving the roof in a worse state then when they arrived! Perhaps a chapter on tracing leaks in a normal (not flat) roof would be an improvement.

Well writen book: only problem is that the book is primarly for houses built in the UK.
