Gotta Getta Group

[MW]

Has anyone here used the Gotta Getta Group for any work to their house? In particular, roof restoration?

I am thinking of using them to restore my roof, just wondering what people thought of their work....

They're the ones that give you a plasma if you get them to do your gutters right? Hmmm...

[MW]

yeah but the deal I got doesnt include the plasma, although I might push for it
i am happy with the price, just curious to see what people thought of their workmanship, quality etc etc

MW we recently had our roof restored and used Roof Seal. Had quotes from a few places and their prices were competitive and had finance available which some others didn't. Happy with the job done but ask me again in ten years!

Thanks zorro....thats the thing that worries me...what happens in 10 years time when the "paint" starts to fail

I cant speak for the group that you mention MW, yet my experience has been that "The Grey Army" are far and above the best group of tradespeople to contact for renovating type work or similar jobs. Their tradies are reliable, make appointments and keep them and do old school quality work which you dont see a lot of these days!

I used them about 5 years ago to replace gutters. Around the same time we had all of the ridge-caps etc repointed, as the mortar was crumbling the guy who did it said in his opinion, this is all that needs to be done on a tile roof and basically the so called "sealing" does nothing and the painting of the tiles is purely for looks. He had worked for a roof restoration company previously. The freshly painted tile roofs look a bit unnatural to me.

PS GGG were ok, quite good actually but they only did gutters at that time.

That makes sense to me with a tiled roof.

Back in the 1980s I owned an attached cottage in Melbourne St, North Adelaide. There had been a few roof leaks above the common wall, and the guy who owned the other half had his galvanised iron replaced and wanted me to do the same as it was still leaking. I got an older roofing tradesman to look at it. His view - the old iron was overall good and stronger and better galvanised than the new, just a bit rusted on some edges, and the main cause of the leak was that the central gutter where the V met in the middle at the back just wasn't deep enough.

He replaced the gutter, cleaned the iron, sleeved it where needed, primed it with old fashioned paint on galv, then painted it. It cost a fraction of the two quotes for re-roofing. It never leaked again in the 5 years I was there, and last time I drove past [in 2003] it still hadn't been re-roofed.

The guy used to come into my sons' workshop in an old holden ute.

Then he went on TV....

Now he comes in a Brand New GT ute....?

The man is honest.

Get a few quotes first.....
