Flashing question

[poonah]

I have recently put a pitched roof on my porch using concrete roof tiles

I need to flash the tiles into the front of the house but instead of brickwork I have tiles on the front of my house.

They're only an inch thick so can't really cut into them. How would you go about flashing?

You should remove the first 2 courses of tiles and fix the lead to a batten at least 100mm above the porch roof and then replace the the 2 vertical courses.

Or if you mean stuck on stone effect type tile cladding then indeed you do need to cut into them and fit an apron flashing

As we all know once removed, it is not possible to re-fix the starter (bottom) course of tile hanging, without removing subsequent courses of tiles. And so on.

I once made some rather intricate 'hanging brackets' out of s.s. housing ties and they worked rather well.

We try and leave the tiles in place and cut them in-situ prior to doing any roof timber work. Too late now for that I guess.
