With the summer approaching, I made an exploratory trip into the last
great untamed wilderness over the weekend: the loft. The previous
owners obviously decided they could live without their Hostess Heated
Side Server ( http://www.google.co.uk/images?en&q=...ed+side+server
), a bowel X-ray and a signed photograph of Dennis Waterman. But
apart from these, there's a lot of what appears to be mortar fillets
scattered over the fibreglass:

The house is 1930s, and I'm pretty sure it's been re-roofed, so I'm
guessing this is mortar that was discarded when the old ridge tiles
were removed. Is this the most likely source? There seems to be an
awful lot of it for a few metres of ridge.

More likely that the underside of the tiles where mortored instead of
using sarking felt.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realise that happened.

Thanks. Googled that and found some interesting stuff.

I would much rather have seen the signed photograph of Dennis
Waterman.

A signed X-ray of Dennis Waterman's bowel - now that'd be worth
something!
