pgh13 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi, I have a house in 49 between Chateaubriant and Segre. I recently lost a couple of slates because the galvanised 'crochets' had rusted through. It's a big old roof and I fear once someone starts clambering a lot more slates will go. Is internal spraying of used/acceptable in France? Anyone had experience with contractors in this area? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I've never liked the idea of spraying the inside of the roof; it's just covering a multitude of problems. The roofs work well if constructed in the local style; I'd go for a "proper" repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
