Hi Neo

I am confused. Why could you not just go and ask at the house "who did your roof?"

Sorry if i'm not following.

Could well have been a landlord Geoff and unknown to the occupier.

Roofs are a bit of a minefield and so variable it is difficult to judge exactly what needs doing and what can be ignored, even though it may seem ok on the surface it may have been done in a way which the average person has no means of checking or even inspecting in detail, so it is well to know a good roofer through personal contacts who can tell you what needs doing urgently and (while he is up there) what has been done poorly in the past and really needs improving.
Many Victorian roofs have lead-flashing done badly, without a drip-edge and can be susceptible to capilliary action in time.
Also you will find some lead work is not even doing its job becasue it is not turned up at the vertical enough and is cemented right down to the horizontal - a recipe for potential leaks.
