Hi guys,
Slightly concerned with some work i had done recently on my roof, i had a lot of moss on the roof, the lead was coming away from the chimney and also needed re-pointing and some tiles had cracked due to the moss & frost.
They scraped the moss off tile by tile with a trowel and pointed the chimney, when removing the moss they found around 50 or so cracked tiles so replaced these in the cost of the job (not sure if they were all down to the moss or the roofers walking on the tiles also).
They did this job over two days so being curious i popped up in the loft to check out the work before they returned the next day, i could see some gaps and light coming though the tiles probably up to 1-2cm max, they said this was normal and it wouldn't be a problem.
I have no felt under my roof as it's how it was built in 1935, we have just had some rain so i popped up to check out the job only to see a very very damp beam with water dripping on to my loft boards, and another 2 places where water is dripping down on to the insulation!
The rain is quite heavy and has been going on for a few days, but i don't think this is normal is it?
Can the tiles simply be butted up more to each other? will this not leave more gap on the other side? Do these guys sound like they did a good job and it was just hard to judge the gap or was it a rookie mistake?
I want to know who / what i'm dealing with before i contact them regarding this.
Regards
