Inside fix possible?

superloopy · 16 Sep 2008

Hi - newbie here.

From outside I can see a number of slipped tiles along the valley edge which are accessible form inside the loft space. I've tried reseating these on the lathes but they don't want to know and insist on slipping back as they don't appear to have been nailed (or the nail missed the lath!). Is it possible to 'spot' these at all from the inside?. Just wondering how to hold them in position, any ideas? No ingress (yet) but i'm sure that f they slip a bit more then there would be. Ta!

Grippy 'em to the tile that rests above?

There's probably a 'proper' way so hold out for more replies before going crazy with the green stuff!

you should be able to spot any slipped tiles from inside and i would do as deluks says hold them in place with a dollop of gripfil.If you want to sort it properly it will mean getting on the roof and pulling tiles off and refixing them

ALL builders merchants do it. So do B'n'Q/Screwfix if there's one nearby.

Careful, once it sticks, it's stuck!

Another good one is Sticks Like SH*T

(yes that's what it's called)
