Yes agree about the double Romans, only one in the street, I think it's because the guys found it easier to install, one of the guys dropped a load whilst installing, god knows what would have happened if someone had been passing underneath.
Thank you for all your input it really is appreciated, it's good to have a second opinion, I'm having my chimney capped and pointed next year so I will make sure its all done, I have a price of £450.00 and it's held until next year, I'm guessing that's about right.
Thanks for that info, I've managed to upload more photos from the front, I spoke with my neighbour, the guys told him they had no lead so this is temporary and the job isn't finished yet, I don't think.he is impressed with them, I'll just have to keep an eye on things and keep you posted.
My neighbour has had a new roof and I noticed instead of using leading they have used some sort of concrete, see photo is this a new practice when tieing the roof to the chimney, I would have thought moisture would get in it and freeze which would cause cracking.... Anybody have and points of view?
