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.
