Lining roof with boiler in the loft

Hi the advice above is good advice but my only concern is the following; check ridge tiles / all hip tiles / and gable ends or verges as sometimes called are not loose. If they are tell the roofer that you want the work required bedded on mortar and (not repointed) as this will only last a few years if you are lucky and can cause more problems later on like falling off or blocking the guttering! As a good roofer can make it look right from ground level but its not and by pointing the works required the roofer can do the job in a quarter of the time! When getting quotes use the term ie; I would like a price to re bed my Ridge tiles / Gable end / or Hip, this tells the roofer that he has to remove the tiles / clean any loose debris away / and apply the mortar and seat the tile back down like a brick is laid. This is the proper way to do the works and in my experience i have come across Victorian houses say 100 years old that are still sound. If you want a even better job ask the Roofer to add some sharp sand to the mortar mix, its a little harder for the Roofer to use but the result will be even stronger roof. Hope this helps & good luck Mr Keith Cooper For ROOFco

this is common in 1930 s built houses.if the roof is not leaking at the moment leave well alone. To have it lined with felt or a membrane, the tiles or slates will have to be removed as well as the batterns that support them. If this roof has stood for 70 years without leaking it will be ok just check that your ridge tiles and hip tiles are not loose. If they are have them repointed. Good luck chris
