Button: Tingles Present
Text: A number of slates are secured with metal strips, known as tingles, which suggests past instances of slate slippage and individual replacement. This typically indicates that the fixing nails to the original roof coverings are reaching the end of their serviceable life and may be failing more extensively

Button: Spray Foam Insulation
Text: Foam insulation has been applied to the underside of the roof covering in an effort to prolong its life. This treatment restricts access to the slates/tiles and makes individual replacement difficult or impossible. As a result, early replacement of the entire roof covering is likely to be required

Button: Pressure Washing Warning
Text: Evidence suggests that the roof coverings have been pressure washed. Although this method is commonly used to remove moss accumulation, it can also strip the protective surface of the coverings, thereby shortening their remaining lifespan

Button: Coverings Nearing End of Life
Text: The roof coverings are nearing the end of their serviceable life. Continued repair will be necessary in the short term until full renewal is carried out. It is recommended that quotations for replacement are obtained now to plan for future expenditure

Button: Check Eaves Felt
Text: The eaves felt at the base of the roof should overlap into the guttering to ensure effective drainage. This felt often deteriorates with age and UV exposure, which can result in water ingress and decay to nearby roof timbers. The condition should be inspected periodically as part of routine maintenance

Button: Dormer Insulation Poor
Text: The dormer structure is unlikely to meet current insulation standards and may be susceptible to condensation and heat loss. Insulation should be improved when practicable or if evidence of condensation occurs
