Hi,
I noticed a sag in my mum’s terraced house roof (Council built 1930s) - pic 4 doesn't show it very well but its quite pronounced. She’s 79/widowed and funds are limited so we’ve had a few assessments/quotes.
Sagging - We've had varying opinions and been quoted separately for 1) new roof or 2) jacking and bracing the purlin or 3) installing A-Frames.
All have said the roof is safe due to the supporting purlins already in place in Pic 1 so I'm just wondering if any work is actually needed (and they've said options 2 and 3 wouldn't visibly straighten the roof)
Water Ingress in pic 3 - one said re-rendering and replacing leadwork around chimney would sort this , another said just overlaying leadwork/flashing would suffice.
Would value your opinions
