I've now had a better look at the roof, and it seems that there is no roof parapet. What is the purpose of these? I've seen them everywhere, but couldn't work out the purpose of them. I'm planning to get some 6ft scaffold boards for other purposes around the house anyway. I assume these will...

Hi ree, thanks for the response. It is much appreciated. I did look at flue vents, but half the chimney pots were missing. Yes, the opening in the kitchen is the part that has been removed. All that remains is the part on the first floor, which is now a bathroom. OK, great. I hadn't...
