Fortuitously for us, in the course of inspecting the neighbours damaged domelight their surveyor spotted some rather nasty “finishing issues” with our roof… Fortunately they are being rectified this week but came as rather a shock as we thought the roof had been signed off. Slightly nervous about any other issues we might come across that haven’t yet come to light:
Felt not fully covering the brick work, as it apparently should:
This, the worst one, an entire section of leading missing from the side of the dormer:
Broken brick on the party wall:
Gaping gaps in the felt and scaffold left on the roof:

Tim,
As you don’t need telling the key part of a house is a watertight roof -otherwise whatever else is done in the house can get ruined at great cost and inconvenience.
I should now get written confirmation from More Space that they have properly surveyed and completed the roof to their and your satisfaction before you part with any more money!!
