Repairs to perished under felt, broken tiles, installation of eaves felt support trays, re-pointing of failed mortar & gutter clearance. When this house was built the under felt had no support at the eaves where it should deliver rain water into the gutter. Consequently the water has pooled at the bottom (you can see the white tide marks in the photos) which has caused the under felt to perish leading to damp & mould on the interior of the wall from the water being delivered onto the top course of stone. To remedy this problem we have cut back the perished under felt, installed eaves felt support trays & sealed them to the under felt using polyurethane to prevent water from blowing in beneath the under felt.
