Re-pointed skew around base of chimney so prevent water ingress

This job was a cry for help from a client who had been let down by another organisation who had stripped and re-slated the roof but the result was a leaking roof and water ingress to the house.

Several issues including the valley slates were not fitted correctly, nothing cut-in properly leading to the water penetrating to the inside of the building. Altogether, very poor workmanship.

Had to start from scratch and strip and re-slate the entire roof using the existing new Spanish slates that you can see in the pictures.

Result – happy customer, no water ingress and a roof that will last for years to come.
