Hi all,
Recently bought a flat in a converted Victorian terrace. Issues with damp coming from parapet walls/ chimney stack. Had a few roofers out to quote but no consistency- some saying leadwork/ rendering to parapets/
chimney stacks (2), some full roof replacement!
Also worth mentioning, previous owner had re-felt and batten, used existing tiles. Appears it was a questionable job. Poorly fitted in places (see vent!). Also seems no lead soakers were used and the reused existing lead flashing which is hit and miss!
Any advice much appreciated? Trying to avoid the new roof scenario!
