Button: Sloping Roof - Slates
Text: The sloping roofs are covered with slates

Button: Tingles Present
Text: Some slates are now held in place with metal strips (often referred to as tingles). This is an indication that slates have slipped in the past and have been replaced on an individual basis. The nails securing the original coverings will be more comprehensively starting to fail

Button: Entirety Not Seen
Text: I was unable to inspect the entirety of the roof and there may be hidden defects. Unless fully inspected there is a risk of potentially costly repairs. The comments provided are based on what was visible to me at the time

Button: Moss/Lichen
Text: Vegetation is growing on the surface of the roof slopes reducing water run off which in turn will affect performance of the coverings. It should be carefully removed where build up is occurring
