– Repair or replacement flat roof covering part of the property (the porch, about 4-5m2) which has suffered a persistent leak/water ingress for at least 18 months, moisture reading of around 80%. Likely that full repair will warrant replacing the timber framing (as it might have rotten due to the long-term water ingress) and partial or full replacement of integral guttering.
– cleaning and possible re-sealing of a skylight (vegetation growing at the seals).
– possible reinforcing/repairs of the flat roof covering the main body of the property (around 40m2), since it was not maintained since it was installed in late 70s/early 80s. If applicable, the cost of structural reinforcements that would allow for solar panel fitting.
– insulation for everything
Please provide a comprehensive quote, including all of the associated costs – scaffolding, parking(***), etc.

type
there is masonry to the multiple-flue chimney. some of the flues serve other dwellings.
front
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’.
there are lead flashings around the chimney that require repointing. an allowance will need to be made
for renewing any defective flashings. this will help prevent damage internally and rot to roofing timbers.
this work may require the erection of scaffolding and should be carried out by an appropriately
experienced contractor.
left elevation
to the left elevation we observed similar defects with the chimney as detailed above.
e2 roof coverings
there is a roof covering of lapped concrete tiles.
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, causing blockages to occur. it also affects
the aesthetic appearance of the building. this work should not be necessary more often than
approximately every 10 years or so.
property address
we observed perished bedding mortar to joints to the hip tiles. repointing the joints is often not an
adequate repair, as the bedding beneath the tiles has normally perished. we therefore recommend that
you have the hip tiles re-bedded in fresh mortar. the old mortar will require removing from beneath the
tiles prior to re-bedding.
there are slipped tiles. it is possible to re-fix these and this should be done to help prevent rainwater
penetration and rot to the roofing timbers. an allowance should therefore be made for implementing this
work.
the lead flashing to the lean-to requires re-filleting with mortar to help prevent it from falling out. flashings
are important to help prevent damp penetration internally and rot to roofing timbers.
a material by the trade name of flashband has been used for roof flashing to join the left hand garage
extension. this type of material is considered to be substandard and it could soon fail. the roof could be
leaking for some time before being noticed and damage could occur. we therefore recommend that you
plan to have the flashband replaced with a more durable material, such as lead.
the mortar verge to the gable end requires repointing. the old mortar should be chopped out and
replaced, to help prevent rainwater penetration internally and rot to the roofing timbers. the undercloaking
appears to be of asbestos cement and, therefore, any work to this part of the property should be
carried out by a contractor who is qualified in working with asbestos.
again, to the left elevation, the condition of the roof was found to be similar as detailed above, and the
same advice applies.
rear elevation
to the rear elevation, the roof was found to be in a very poor condition, with a good number of slipped and
broken tiles and perished bedding mortar to the ridge and hip. the roof will require some urgent repairs
by a reputable roofing contractor and we recommend that you obtain quotes for work as necessary.
there is a missing hip iron to the rear. this should be replaced during other works to the roof to prevent
movement to the hip tiles.
there is a felt roof covering to the rear part of the garage roof. the roof covering is in a very poor
condition and substandard materials have been used as flashing and edging. there is a significant
covering of moss. the roof will require a complete overhaul by a reputable contractor and we recommend
that you obtain quotations for this and have the work implemented as soon as possible.
e3 rainwater pipes and gutters
the rainwater fittings are of pvc.
are you the property owner: owner of the property
property type: semi detached
property age: unknown
how many bedrooms: 3-4 rooms
roof height: 2nd floor
is your roof pitched or flat: pitched

chimney stack flashing replacement & roof repair mortar, flashing & tiles
chimney stack report:
flashings are defective and urgently need attention. the flashings were noted to be in a poor condition and leaking into the roof space. the flashings are at the point where they need to be replaced. lead flashings should be installed to chimney stack which will be far more durable and water tight.
the chimney pots have been removed and the flues appear to have been capped at the top to protect against rain penetration, however there does not appear to be any air bricks in the sides of the chimney stack to ventilate the redundant flues. this can result in dampness and discolouration to chimney breasts internally. the flues which are redundant should be ventilated at the top, either with air bricks or special chimney pots which allow ventilation and at the same time prevent rain penetration. condition rating 2.
the chimney stack to the main building was found to be leaning. no indications of recent movement was found such as substantial cracking bricks or mortar, however, the lean was found to only just be within acceptable tolerances. we would suggest that this stack is monitored closely moving forward and at sign of any further movement or weakness that a structural engineer is contacted to discuss options in regards to strengthening. rigorous maintenance of this stack will be especially important. condition rating 2.
flaunchings at the top of the stack could not be fully seen from ground level. it is highly probable some deterioration has occurred and some minor works can be expected. in the short term some repairs to the flaunching should be anticipated as this area is a vulnerable section for damp penetration. condition rating 2.
roof report:
a number of slipped slates were noted to the rear roof covering (you should be aware that falling slates should be considered a safety hazard). historic patch repairs are evident due to the presence of metal ‘tingles’ on the roof slopes. quotations should be obtained by a reputable roofer for the patch repairs required in the short term (prior to the exchange of contracts). as the roof covering is of increasing age, maintenance will become increasingly more expensive. it is important that future maintenance is vigorous, as any gaps within the roof covering (without an underfelt beneath) will allow water penetration into the roof void, causing damage to the ceilings underneath. the ridge has been covered with a roofing felt, this is generally serving a purpose but poor building practice. we would recommend this is replaced with clay ridge tiles when the next repairs are carried out to the roof (this is a shared ridge with the neighbouring property, you will have to consult with legal advisors regarding the relevant consents and regulations associated with this). the foliage should be removed in the short term. condition rating 3.
the mortar bedding and pointing to the ridge and hip tiles is deteriorating, recent repairs have been made, however, some areas have come loose and fallen away. in order to reduce the possibility of wind uplift, it is recommended loose tiles are lifted, cleaned off and then re-bedded on new mortar. condition rating 3.
there is evidence of some cracking, loosening and poor workmanship of the verge mortar and roof tiles at the edges. a reputable roofing contractor should be consulted, and quotations be obtained for any necessary repairs. this work should be completed in the short term to reduce chances of damp penetration of loose roof coverings. condition rating 3.
the flashings consist of mortar applied to the roof abutments. these are rarely fully watertight and are prone to cracking and leakage. when replacement is needed, it is recommended they are replaced with lead flashings which, when properly dressed into position, will be far more durable and watertight. the cement flashings are deteriorating and ideally should be replaced in the short term. cracks were noted to the flashings which will lead to leaks internally. quotes should be obtained for the upgrade of the flashings. condition rating 3.
thermal expansion and contraction has caused splitting in the lead flashings to the horizontal valley between the subject property and the sloping roof of the left neighbouring property. lead lengths should be no more than 1.5 metres. some broken mortar debris and moss was noted to the valleys, which should be cleared – regularly monitoring and removal of debris will be needed as valleys are especially prone to blockage. the lead is old and worn, the defective sections should be replaced. where the flashings have deteriorated and split it is a vulnerable area for damp penetration and quotes for repairs should be obtained in the short term. condition rating 3.
the main roof covering is of increasing age and maintenance will become increasingly more expensive. it is important that maintenance is vigorous, especially if the roof is unfelted and any loose or missing tiles will allow water penetration into the roof void, causing damage to the ceilings underneath. some damp staining was noted to the ceiling below the roof covering. condition rating 3.
the roof slopes are reasonably aligned and free of any significant deflection or structural defect. no significant dishing was noted suggesting any major structural issues. slight deflection was noted in places which is not significant and can be monitored. condition rating 1.
