Hi,
Mine is ageing & showing signs of minor leaks - nothing catestrophic. We're considering our options. We've spend a few £k in the past few years, so its approaching the point of replacement we feel but its abig cost.
a) continue to patch
b) major overhaul
c) replace completely
Whats the difference between b) and c)? One of the largest issues we have is the 'horsehair' underfelt that seems to degrade into the attic covering it in black dust. Anything to remedy that is welcome.
I'm keen to do somethign to replace the felt with modern equivalent. Any suggestions? Would a major overhaul cover this? is it worth putting the old slates back if they are in a bad way?
Its a complex roof shape but I need some techncial advice before I speak to a local roofer.

Lastly, whats a reasonable price £/m2 to budget for these works?
