When actually, if they had looked properly they would have seen that the roof has a sag in the middle of it across its spine and that the tiles are made of a composite material that has a life of circa 25 years and it is evident that the tiles are older than that.
Inside the loft you can see that mould has grown on the tops of the rafters, evidence of water ingress and that the membrane that sits between the roof tiles and the rafters is even older than the tiles meaning that the tiles were replaced without changing the membrane or batons. These things combined mean the only solution is an entire new roof.
Knowing this would have totally changed our view on budgets etc...
