queryinghomebuyer Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Hi, we recently got our survey back from a house we are buying and its come back with serious distortion to the roof. I've attached photos but was wondering if anyone could give advice to how bad the distortion really is, and how long we could wait to get it fixed. Also possible cost? Thanks.

joe90 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 I am not sure we can assess the problem from those photos, the report should IMO give more info on the problem. Old timbers can distort a fair bit without causing real problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 It's not unusual to see some deflection in old roof timbers, particularly where the original slates or clay tiles have been replaced with heavier concrete tiles. Assuming there's no need to replace the roof, then maybe all it needs is some additional internal bracing to stop any more deflection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
