A few weeks ago we had a repair done to the front boarding of the roof. It was replaced with a new plastic end board after the old one dropped off due mainly to the securing nails having rusted away.
Now, there is a leak near an old disused vent pipe on the side of the roof and some of the felt lining has come away. The time has come to have the roof re-felted and re-tiled.
Today we have scaffolding around the house in preparation for the work, which starts tomorrow. The old roof was fitted at the building of the house at the end of 1970, so it is 55 years old.
We have also arranged for the conservatory to be re-roofed with a sold pitched roof in September. This year is becoming quite expensive.
