just bought a new property and in the processes of doing it up. Old owners had removed the chimney and looks like they had a go at repairing the area. Roof is made up of rosemary tiles i have been quoted around the £1000 mark but also been told if its not leaking dont worry. Any advice would be appreciated, attached a photo of damaged area.

Roofs about past it's serviceable life.
Rosemary tiles delamination.
If its not leaking avoid going on it.
 
Those timbers that have been used to infill the chimney aren't right. It should have new sections sistered to the existing above and below, running over 800mm each way, with 3x M10 bolts each side at 200mm offset centres , with toothed washers in place. But, it may 'do' as it is.
