So i just fitted a velux for the first time.
Once i came to relay the tiles i had to cut half tiles to go down both sides.
Normal stuff i'm guessing.
Problem being because of the flashing i could not hook these half side tiles on any horizonal beams (beams, rafters, bits of wood. I dont know what they are called) because the flashing covers the wood.
At the moment the tiles are fairly sturdy but they are just wedged under one another (as normal) but not hooked on anything.
These side tiles could just slide off the roof at the moment.
Would it be possible to drill a hole through each and put a thin nut & bolt or screw through these tiles??
The very top side tile on each side is hooked so the next one down could screw to that and the next one screw to that one and so on....this would hold them into place, impossible to slide off.
The tiles are the wavey, non slate usual ones (EDZ C02 flashing type)
Sorry for the lack of jargon, i dont know what half this stuff is called
Hope this makes sense, i've tried explaining as clear as possible[/b]
