Prior to purchasing the house we are renovating (it’s taking soooo long!) we rented a property from Havelok Homes Housing Association for 5 long years.

We moved there through what’s known as a homeswap, basically you find another Housing Association tenant willing to swap with you. At the time of the move I’d recently started a new business that was going really well and purchasing a new property wasn’t far on the horizon, but we lived in Newhaven (East Sussex) and so to get more for our money (and because we didn’t like the south) we moved closer to our roots.

Note: I do not recommend using RoofTec for flat roofing work, the easiest of the roofs they replaced leaked in multiple places due to poor design.

Anyone that’s followed my intermittent posts (sorry very busy with SEO consulting work and I’ve hurt my hip, so work ground to a slow crawl) will know we had our flat roofs replaced by a company called Rooftec and we had a few problems.

We eventually got things sorted, unfortunately one of the flat roofs started to leak (or more likely been leaking for ages, but took a while to show via a damaged ceiling).
