we observed perished bedding mortar to joints to the ridge/hip tiles. re-pointing the joints is often not adequate enough maintenance, as the bedding has normally perished beneath. we, therefore, recommend that you have the hip/ridge tiles re-bedded in fresh cement mortar. the old cement will require removing from beneath the tiles prior to re-bedding.
there are some missing tiles to the roof and these could be addressed at the same time by the roofer by replacing them. we would also recommend for the roofer to lift a few tiles to check underneath the tiles if there are any rotten battens as the underside of the roof in the loft was covered with aluminium foil.
the roof covering is slightly vegetated with moss. this needs to be cleaned off occasionally to prevent it from accumulating and then falling into the rainwater gutters. otherwise, this can cause blockages to occur in the rainwater gutters, as well as affect the aesthetic appearance of the building. this work should not be necessary more often than approximately every 10 years or so. the cement verge to the gable end requires re-pointing. the old cement should be chopped out and replaced, to help prevent rainwater penetration internally and rot to the roofing timbers.

there are open chimney pots visible. this could result in rainwater penetration causing damp patches to appear within the building. birds can also become trapped in disused flues. it is therefore recommended that redundant flues are fitted with capping vents and that flues serving appliances are fitted with cowls, subject to the appropriate specialist advice as mentioned under the heading of ‘services’. a closer inspection of the chimney can be made by the contractor, who should carry out any other necessary repairs that cannot be seen from ground level.
some repointing is required. repointing walls of the property, including chimneys, should be carried out with a lime- based mortar to allow the bricks to breathe and help prevent them from perishing easily. the brickwork should be raked out to a depth of 2cm, prior to any work being carried out, to create a good key for the new lime-based mortar.
there are small areas of perished masonry. masonry perishes as a result of dampness that penetrates into the chimney and then expands during periods of frost, causing the surface of the masonry to break away. once the fair face of brickwork or stonework has perished, degradation accelerates as the areas that have perished become more absorbent. works to this part of the property are likely to require the erection of scaffolding
