A friend has a leak through her roof. It is a 3-storey "town house" and acc ess is difficult, so we have not seen the source of the leak. She has recei ved an estimate from the only roofer who turned up. The estimate states tha t a weld on the leadwork has failed, so the leadwork will be resealed and t he whole area covered with bitumen (or as the roofer puts it, "bitchman"). I've never heard of bitumen (or "bitchman") being applied over leadwork, an d it seems to me that once the bitumen is applied there will be no way of t elling whether the leadwork has been sealed properly, or at all. Would anyone like to advise or comment, please?
