When we bought our house, the building survey flagged a few minor issues (not serious or urgent, but worth sorting out) on the roof: chimney pots with no cowling (only wired bird guards), soffits a bit loose (see pics), flashing below one window started to crack (see pic, no evidence of water leak internally), one missing tile on rear dormer, soil vent pipe with no protection cage. We've got a couple of roofers in to give quotes. As the house is located on a slight slope, it's tricky to get to the roof using ladders, so scaffolding sounds like a must. Prices are around £3k, which sounds steep for such minor repairs (though we are in London). Wonder if it is worth doing or any cost-effective way of doing it please? Any comments and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
