Damp joists in loft

[Andrewd8323]

Thanks all for input so far.

One additional question: the roofer repointed the chimneys at the time of doing the roof. I’ve attached a picture of them below. What are people’s views on the pointing? Look ok? I ask because the different shades look a bit unusual to my untrained eye. Could this be a source of the problem? I don’t think the chimney was painted with storm dry when it was worked on. If I did this would it protect both the bricks and pointing?

Sorry to hassle - just wondering if anyone has any views on this?

Your roofer is taking the p*ss, that back gutter has th tiles under the lead, even if its made up with mortar that is the source of the fail.

Looks very poor quality, but sort the gutter.
