Title: Should I be concerned about this gap between wall brickwork and roof?
Post by: GaryD on April 07, 2022, 06:59:02 pm

Haven’t sought the services of a professional snagger yet but considering doing so, just wanted to get some advice as to whether this finish is normal?

Cheers

Apart from letting in insects, it is usual whilst not preferable.
If you have a timber frame house this gap should be 25mm and sealed with mastic.

Please do get your home professionally snagged and inspected before you legally complete.
