A little problem- all started when I got up on the roof to investigate leaking valley and has escalated from there- chimneys rotted, cracked cement fillets, no fall on valley, all sorts of fun.
Background- there is a 100mm (4 inches, no I haven't missed a zero off the end) gap between my end wall and neighbours end wall, detached terraced describes the layout. This gap has been rendered over (quite well) at the front of the houses, is open at the rear and has been covered at the roof with bits of slate and a load of concrete (or maybe lime mortar, not sure but it is quite hard). Some of this has fallen apart, some I've had to cut away as part of dismantling a failed chimney. Neighbours roof pitch is the same as mine but about 300mm higher. Except at my chimney, which is higher than neighbours roof (or it was and will be again)
Problem- I don't want to leave this gap open to the elements. What's going to be the best way to cover it?
Pics later tonight
Oh yes, my first post here but not my first look at the site, it has popped up on many Google queries and supplied a few answers in the past so ta to all.
