What tends to be worth checking around Radcliffe?
Bury Council’s improvement programme for Irwell Close included new slate or tile, felt, battens, fascia, soffits and rainwater goods. That gives a useful picture of how closely the bottom of the roof, the fascia and the gutter are tied together.
If the back of the fascia is wet, look under the bottom tile course. Old felt can sag between rafters and pour water behind the board while the front of the gutter remains dry.
One cracked or displaced tile can be a small repair. Several tiles moving in the same area can point to battens, fixings or an earlier repair that has disturbed the course.
What would I want to know before looking at the roof?
If the fascia or soffit is wet, tell the roofer whether water is getting behind the gutter or only over its front edge. Those two observations point towards different faults at the eaves.
What should the roofer show you?
Where the bottom course is being opened, ask for a photograph of the felt, battens and rafter ends before they are covered again. That is the best time to see whether decay has spread beyond the fascia.
