We're buying a house and had a homebuyers survey done to determine any problems before we moved in and it came up with a couple of roofing problems... Can anyone help me to work out how serious they actually are?
The house was built in 1955 and this was the statement in the survey..
The roof is covered with interlocking concrete tiles. The roof is lined internally with sarking felt. The verges are slightly worn to the edge of the roof.
It was not possible to ascertain the reason why, but some of the tiles to the rear roof at eaves level were slightly lifted. This will require closer inspection, either internally on crawl boards or from ladders, however the conservatory position makes access difficult.
The roof lining has rotted, is torn internally, is very frayed and worn at the edges where visible and does not project sufficiently into the guttering.
Any ideas!?
