We started the repair to ridge tiles today and whilst on the top of the scaffolding we were also able to look at other areas that we were unable to look at when previously inspecting the installation.<\/p>\n
The top hanging wall tile that had not been re-fitted correctly dropped away at the slightest touch. The wood batten beneath had not been put back and fixed firmly against wall to enable the tile to lay flat or indeed securely. Whilst fixing this we also tied in the loose wires and filled the unused hole drilled in the fascia board.<\/p>\n
As the house has dormer windows with a flat roof and apex above, we agreed that this was also a great opportunity to look at the solar panels fixed on both sides of the East-West split. With the benefit of the added scaffolding it was just a case of walking around onto the flat roof. I can’t understand why on earth they didn’t do this originally when putting the scaffolding up –\u00a0It would of made the installation a lot easier! From the roof we were a little dismayed to find that 4 of the panels appeared to be scratched next to the clamps and also the East array of five divided by the soil stack in the middle were not level. Although you would never notice from ground level, we also found a multitude of nuts, bolts, nails, wire strips and even some bracketing parts left sprawled around on top of the asphalt. Slightly annoying but at least we were able to clear-up.<\/p>\n
We continued with the ridge tile repairs and finished off by re-fixing the dry verge tiles.<\/p>\n
The next job will be reporting these new issues.
