That sounds familiar, Chrysotile. Dont break it and ok, remove it or seal in.

Good point, ask what is price if beams, soffit, gutter maybe poor. Photo is only item which may contain asbestos and it could be tested out. Thank you!

Eave protector is luckily on a few pound per strip so would not add much to materials. The survey said Asbestos may exist under soffit. Not tested nor sure.

Excellent points. Gutters, fascias or insulation was not mentioned. Asbestos, eaves and regs is a good idea.

Good point. Not sure if this helps and it is a end of terrace 3 bed. Scaffolding is inc. and 3 days work.

A local man has quoted £7k, maybe plus vat for: - removal of tiles/membrane/flashing/batens - new tiles/new batens/new membrane - new ridge, either dry or old school - not sure which - new flashing Materials and labour. Is this actually possible please? This is not a fancy town or London zone.

Ahh, got you. Those terms you mentioned gable I have seen before.

I did and did still not understand all like pagoda. Anyway, on Thu a roofing firm will hopefully inspect. One firm quoted up to 8500 for tile removal, new membrane, new tiles, scaffolding and workers

Thank you. A lot of roofing terms I do not know. The lining maybe from 50s so could have worn naturally or as you thought to look into something. Survey did mention something about temp flashing. On Thu a roof man should be attending though he did not confirm and at some stage I will find out...

Yes, esp. top right ridge has moved up and all tiles under have gapped around.

I am guessing you mean the edge ridge tile which has moved up, has a missing tile under and all tiles under have gaps around? Thanks

It's a home we are looking at buying. Survey says ridge tiles are poor, some tiles are missing and sarking is poor. So trying to work out the risk/cost of buying it if the risk is not great and maybe original from 50s

Thank you for your view. Some of the wording I do not understand. What is "plains are delaminating" and "ferrous fixings" please? I need to see if the estate agent will permit a roofer to look.

Doh, due to which bits please? Inner, ridge, tile missing and right hand side tiles having a small gap? Thank you

We are looking at buying this and a L2 survey showed the photos inc. as 2 or 3 risk (3 highest). Could the roof be fixed by adding tiles back and fixing ridge tiles or are new tiles needed? Also, sarking is ripping inside loft. Any idea of time needed to swap sarking or replace all please?
