Went up into the loft last evening to try and find a piece of equipment put up there a few years ago.
Shock, horror, SNOW.
This terraced house was built in the early 1920's and by the looks of it, still has the original slates. They have been back filled with sand and cement, rather they had, most of it seems to have fallen out. There are no holes in the roof. It is very drafty though and I do appreciate that roofs do need some circulaltion of air.
Question. Do you think I will be able to claim for snow getting in and get the insurance company to put things right. OR Would it help if I got the mastic gun out and put waterproof sealant down all the slate joints and where the backfilled cement has fallen out.
It is only coming in on the front elevation of the house.
Thanks for any advice tendered.
