I am in the middle of a re-roof on a victorian brick-built semi. The old roof had no overhang on the gable end and used barge boards with a capping board. I have asked for an overhang to be added, which has been achieved using wider slates at the gable ends. The roofer has replaced the barge board (which sits against the brickwork - there is no outer roof spar) and provided a 50mm overhang beyond the face of the barge board. The slates have been nailed into the top edge of the barge board. Only the front of house has been completed so far.
I am now concerned because no undercloak was added, and a dry verge system was not used. This means there are small gaps between the slates and the barge board (and some larger gaps of about and inch) where wildlife and wind can enter.
Should I be concerned or will this be okay?
