Slate roof and chimney repairs on farm house in North Herefordshire
A beautiful house in need of a new roof. Chimneys also need some work.
Scaffolding up.
A close up to illustrate the state of the slating
Flat roof discovered to be in a bad way
Damp under felt
Condensation forming on underside of felt due to lack of ventilation the root-cause of most flat roof failures
Same roof with breather-membrane installed over new insulation and under counter-batten to aid ventilation .
Flat roof finished, now in EPDM rubber membrane. Also new hand-made double-glazed skylight.
One of the chimneys with an interesting flue set up.
The other chimney in quite a perilous state
Slates re-laid on the front elevation using stainless steel slate hooks
New slating with re-built chimney in background
Slating on rear of house was done with new Brazilian slates to save money
New lead gutter lining
Oak boards and repaired chimney
