Report Entries
Roofs Construction
Button: Sloping Roof - Tile
Text: The sloping roof is finished with tiled coverings
Roofs Notes
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
Roofs Defects
Button: Verge Overhang Poor
Text: The verge does not project adequately beyond the wall face, which may allow rainwater to run down the wall and cause dampness. The detail should be improved to provide better weather protection
Button: Minor Tiles Damage
Text: A number of roof tiles are damaged and should be repaired or replaced locally to maintain effective weatherproofing
Button: Roof Near End of Life
Text: The main roof coverings are nearing the end of their effective lifespan and should be considered for full refurbishment or replacement
Button: Shallow Pitch
Text: The sloping roof is of low pitch, reducing the effectiveness of the roof covering, especially in heavy rain or strong winds. It is recommended that a competent roofing contractor assesses the suitability of the existing design
Button: Eaves Felt Missing
Text: The roof underfelt has not been carried through to discharge into the guttering at eaves level. This omission increases the risk of water ingress, and remedial works are recommended to improve weather protection
Estimated Repair Cost
Button: Estimated Cost
Text: I estimate the cost of the above Roofing works to be approximately:
Button: £1500-£2500
Text: £1500-£2500
