Phew - in roof news, it all seems pretty solid after all. A few bits to be patched but no new roof needed though the main water ingress point still uncertain. Chimneys to be checked next.
I do love having nerdy specialists round. This chap was from a copper roof family business, following in his dad's footsteps. "Ah", he says, "Wasn't expecting to see that. This must have been one of the first long strip copper roofs in the country. Was almost certainly our company as there were only 2 in the country who had developed (blah blah technical stuff) in the early 60s." There followed fairly lengthy roof chat (on his part) and nodding/uh-huhing (on my part).
