Not strictly correct ..

As above leads too narrow and badly fitted . It could have had hip tiles bedded as per ridge . I'd be inclined to remove the lead and put a hip tile on. Asbestos slate btw

The lead should have been fully supported . An open valley used . What you see here we've seen many times on preformed grp "dry" valleys . Fitted by others as we don't use them. The sandtoft 2020 is a good tile

He's asking about flashings and wether they are weather tight . Which they are

They would need to move the whole window down a couple of inches , or up 8 approx. It's not going to leak

It can be felted. Probably cheaper than lead with its adaptions . Thr felt shouldn't be laid on top of the lead .

Fwiw the hips are not properly pointed at the but joints .

The problem here is the verge was bedded the pointed in two different mortars . The verge should be pointed in the same mortar used to bed it . Done correctly it will outlive any dry verge

As above two tiles slipped leaving no head lap is a leak. Also the mortar that has been jammed here and there can dam water and cause a leak. Imo grp is for boats . To get the correct fall you'll need to adjust the gutter soles . You be better off getting a good felt flat roofer in the torch on...

Looks like a Redland plain tile . The vent looks like an aftermarket vent . Could one of a few

Fluff sandwiched between plasterboard and felt . Isn't correct . You should have at least a 50 mm air flow gap between the felt and insulation . Soffit or ofv should be there and some form of venting at high level depending on roof design . Curious as to which Marley tile is no longer made . Do...

Actually I think not . At very least id expect a close slate match . Slates poorly fitted around the over flow and a couple of other bits that look naf

As I said , it's a weep hole for the lead tray . What appears to be the front apron flashing could also be the second tray which is standard good practice now . With out close inspection one can't tell if it is or isn't. I've a feeling the chimney has been rebuilt some time in the past . Hence...

It's a weep hole , chimneys do have trays (these days actually usual two. Not actually cavity trays . But definitely trays as in this case

Have you tried Marley Mendip cloak verge tile?

No it's not acceptable . All vertical tiles should be mechanically fixed. In this case the battening has not been set out correctly .

The moss will be back
