Help Rekha patch the roof before winter
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in London?
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,523 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in London. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,600, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Rekha. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 37 people at work
