SurreyRoofingEstimator - I did see your deleted post moments before it disappeared :) Not sure if I should tell the neighbours - its been done a good few years!

Just an update. The roofers stripped the tiles back and covered the bit of roof I was concerned about with Roofshield. Turns out that the reason they didn't marry the tiles with next door is because next doors tiles do not have enough overlap - it was the plan to have gone along that...

Cheers xfr - see what you mean with support trays. The neighbours roof has been done a few years and their felt is visible so I thought this was normal!! DAZB - I'll take a look at that. A fairly rough measurement from a photo suggests it is OK - the neighbours tiles on the other hand don't...

I expect they have thought it through and not created themselves more work than needed -they've fixed more roofs than I have :) will have a chat with them in the morning. If I was more knowledgeable I would have asked all these questions before they started - I'll know next time :) I...

Sorry Woody - only just clicked what you were saying about the eaves. The tiles come down to the gutter and look OK which must mean they have a differing overlap. The attached pics shows the front corner (have to say I'm a bit unsure as to why the batons don't line up)

Hi woody. At the moment the tiles don't meet next doors back or front. The pics above show the current situation. The back has a narrow gap (which gets wider as it goes up) and I presume that the lead will be put over the top of the gap? From the size of the gap at the front - just over a...

Cheers Scottishslater - feel a bit reassured. What would you have done differently?

Thanks for your replies Scottishslater. I expect it will all be good but it would make sense to me to cover the entire roof with Roofshield in case there is a later failure in the tiles/lead.

I don't know why they chose not to marry up the tiles and I have to admit that I feel a bit of a muppet not knowing how they are going to make the join - I think lead? But my question is about the membrane below.

My roof is currently being re-done. The felt is being replaced with Roofshield membrane, new batons and new tiles. The house is a standard 3-bed 1930's semi with pitch roof and concrete tiles. The Roofshield has been laid and batons fixed and the new tiles are partially fitted. My question...
