Asked by Michael on 19th Jan 2022Best Answer
"Usually, if there's water leaking into your loft or split felt rotten battens etc best way to tell is to get into the loft and have a look round"
Answered on 24th Jan 2022 - Member since Oct 2019 - report"If water is starting to make its way into loft space, and you're starting to see daylight through the old felt. There is a good chance of many of the batons rotted. Also then is probably a good time to think about re-roofing."
Answered on 18th Feb 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"The best thing to do is have a look if any tiles are broken or any Battens are rotted get up in the loft and inspect that way… feel free to get in contact for any more questions"
Answered on 25th Jan 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"Do you mean roof on your new property because a new roof should not need replacing. You would need a roof survey report if you are unsure really. But a visual inspection of the condition of the tiles/slates, missing mortars, check loft do you have any felt/underlay, batten conditions and nail sickness (rust)"
