I've recently had a roofer replace a roof for me. It definately needed doing, you could see daylight through various holes in the slates when in the loft. A lot of the timbers were rotten as it had been left to leak for years (before I bought the house). The slates didn't look great as they came off, so rightly or wrongly we decided to replace with new tiles as it didn't look like that many slates could be re-used.
Here are some photos of the end result. The join with the houses on either side are mortar joints, although I'm told there is a hidden gully beneath so any water soaking into the mortar won't get through. However, I was expecting it to look a bit "tidier" like the other photo I've posted (an identical house on the same row). My question is, is there anything actually wrong with it as it is? Or is the strip on the other roof just cosmetically better but not a requirement?
