Hi,
The roofs are being replaced on a few small blocks of flats where I live.
The roof on my property was laid down very quickly and I was surprised not to see any nails used to fix the concrete plain tiles to the battens on the roof (slope around 45 degrees). Each tile has a nib on the reverse and two holes on each side. Both verges at the end of the roof are cemented with mortar but apart from that no nails or clips seem to have been used to secure the tiles. I've researched on the subject and I've read that plain tiles should be nailed here and there. Should it be a cause for concern?
Thanks for your advice.
