Thanks to all those who replied to my post 'Roof Repairs', just to clarify things, we are taking a company to court, they are counter suing us for roof repairs, quite frankly it's a joke, but not a laughing matter.
I have just recieved their paperwork they will present in court, they are claiming £1600 +vat, (total £1920) for the work listed below.
Cleaning all guttering front and back
Refixed guttering and down pipes
Repaired guttering and facia board
Replaced damaged flashing on chimney stack
Repointed chimney stack and recemented pots
Fixed and replaced missing downpipe at the front of property
Before I ask for you you think would be a fair price, let me explain, I am not disputing they cleaned out the guttering, or that they replaced a section of downpipe at the front, the other work is either not our responsibility or it has simply not been done, also we did not ask for any of these repairs to be carried out.
The building is two, two bedroom terraced flats, we own the downstairs, the upstairs is responsible for all work done "above the level of the brickwork supporting the joists upon which the floor of the said first floor flat rests" except,
1. Chimney pots (pots not chimney stack)
2. Spouts, gutters, downcomers and other things for conveying rainwater from the building
But just to keep things easy, let's say I am responsible for half of all the costs, is this a fair price?
May I add, this is simply for myself, I will not be using any comments placed on this site in the court, I am a tad upset by this and other things the defendant has claimed, which quite frankly are.......oh I forgot I can't call him a liar, I have to practice being nice for the courtroom.

That's it, no address, no landline or mobile telephone number, I am being silly thinking this is a little suspect? (I've changed the name for obvious reasons)
