Very nice indeed. Looks terrific. You must be really pleased with it.

Wow that looks like a real textbook example of work done. I've never seen one that looks to that standard anywhere. You must be really pleased with your work on that, thank you for the pics.

Thanks for all the replies so far, hopefully the roofer is coming back next week to see what he can do.

Thank you, I'm grateful for all of the information given. I'm wondering what would normal practice be then for wedging the tiles.

Thank you for the advice. Should it even be there in the first place though, I mean is this kind of thing common practice.

Thank you very much for your reply. Goodness I didn't realise there was so much wrong with it. The flashing has been in place for many years so has little to do with the new roofer who did next door. I am concerned about the area behind the chimney still, especially the little tile chipping...

Thank you for your continued help and info, you're teaching me a lot, I'm grateful. There are several areas where the tiles aren't fitting perfectly, like you mention, mainly where new meets old but even on some areas of all new tiles, wonky roof/timbers I assume. You're so right about different...

Thanks for replying. It doesn't leak I was just concerned that, with it being a new roof it might not be common practice to do it this way. On similar houses nearby there is a row of tiles at the back of the chimney and the flashing goes underneath. Whereas here the tile (perhaps a tile and a...

Thank you for your reply, it has appeased me a little actually as I was expecting 'it shouldn't be done like that!' replies. I only have pics from this angle at the moment, but I'm glad that, I assume, nothing stands out as being incorrect.

Hi, just wondering what you guys think of this recently done area at the back of the chimney. The red tiles are an existing roof, the grey ones are a new roof just done next door. Doesn't seem to be any tiles behind the chimney, just flashing to fill the void. Also seems to have placed a tiny...

Just to conclude this, after reading what I could I decided there's no hope. So I broke/cut it up and put it out for scrap. Thank you though. Looking for a new cheapo one to buy now.

Hi, I have a problem with an Indesit IDF125 dishwasher. It will start a program as normal, fills up with water, then drains, but then I get two flashing green lights and it won't go any further. I have been restarting it and it has been working after several attempts but now it just keeps...

Just thought I would update/comclude this. I tried Huws Gray as suggested, and strangely as I was there they had a pallet delivered. These were the right height but too narrow! They were only 125mm wide which is bizarre as all the others are 140mm. So that was close. But, I popped into my local...

Well I tried Wickes but just too big unfortunately. Anyone have any other ideas where I can buy coping stones from please. Thanks.

According to the website, my local one has stock and judging by the pic they seem close (straight edges as opposed to rounded off) so here's hoping! Hopefully they will be slightly under size and will be close enough. Every time I buy timber it comes in under size, can't help but think that...
