Hello,
Exactly what the topic title says. I am obviously going to get a local roofer to do an actual inspection at some point, and get their view and cost it.
However I would appreciate any impartial comments as to whether it is probably best to replace the whole thing or if it just needs a good maintenance overhaul. (I am considering a side extension with a new roof section so it may make sense to replace it all anyway, but I would welcome views on its current condition)
It is the original 1930s roof, in plain rosemary tiles. It has no roof felt/membrane and the rosemary’s are mortared to the batons, some of which has come away inside (but still looks mostly intact).
As you can see one or two tiles are missing at the moment. A number have de-laminated or "blown" and a number of the hip and ridge tiles are in poor condition. (It is a hi-res image so you can zoom quite close)

Apart from that, it seems to be performing ok, fully watertight etc. This is the north side so is in the worst condition. The South side is in much better nick.
Any comments will be most appreciated.
