Just had a call from a travelling salesman regarding cleaning my roof and
"proofing" it. Is this a scam or something worth doing?

That depends on you, your attitude towards Lego, and whether you ever
wanted to live in a house that looked like it was made from it.

Of all the ways that roofs fail, having the tiles themselves start to
crumble isn't the biggest risk around.

I recently declined several suggestions that I re-roofed my 150 year old
Victorian terraced with concrete tiles on new rafters for vast amounts of
dosh.

One told me that it would affect the saleability of my house if I didn't
cure the sagging.

The sagging is gentle and even and only on the south facing half of the
centre valley roof. Judging by the behaviour of the 4x2s I've just used for
the upstairs ceilings, new timbers might well settle into the same profile
before too long ....

I invested my money in loads of lovely new leadwork :-)
