OMG look at the 'leadwork' on that !!

nail visquin to the underside of the rafters before he starts.

I'd choose lead , then fibreglass not a fan of felt.

phoning a flat roofer would be your easiest option

the tile would have come with a spigot and if you have a ridge board it needs to be cut. Get the 'roofer' back to do it properly.

I'm a roofer and unless your nephew wants to work in wind , hail , rain and even sunshine occasionally i'd tell him to forget roofing !! Sure the money can be epic , it's very hard work , especially when your starting out as a labourer.

as said epdm or fiberglass (poly-roof) is what i'd go for. All the water proofing paint etc you can buy is strictly for bodgers and make do-ers

Not sure if it will work , but try scraping off as much as you can, then use a heat gun and paint scraper to get the worst off . You could use solvent to get the last off. By the sound of it it will be a lot of elbow grease used!!

How do you mean? They are simple to fit, you even get instructions

Not a bad price that

Have had a few probs with marley over the years, mostly by the tiles being sent out before 'curing' properly. As they are a concrete tile , they need to be left for a month or so from manufacture to being used.

I said most roofs were nailed using big clouts, didn't say every tile or even every second tile, learn to read before trying to be a smart arse. Fair play to the Op in getting the roofer to do some extra work for the salvage (there will be much more now it's 'His) , i would have skipped the...

We're not allowed by the building regs here.

And where did i say that ALL tiles were nailed? I said Most roofs were , and gave my opinion on how many would be wasted. Seeing as everyone else agrees with the wast and usability of the salvage , I think you should invest in a pair of reading glasses so you can accurately give your 'little...

Don't think you allowed to use galv nails by building regs mate , we use mostly copper, but aluminium clouts are a perfectly acceptable substitute. The size you'll be needing is 38mm (or 40 mm) x 3.35mm, ring up a couple of merchants to see the difference yourself.

So how would you suppose stripping them off ? lifting every single one carefully and passing it down? on a 20,000 tile job? they will be slid down the roof and most will be unusable. You have no idea what your talking about, did you labour for a roofer once or something? A 'little'...

point out to all and sundry you half do things? The nail holes are there for a reason. Around here mate roofing is a skilled trade , done by professionals (mostly) not half arsed slapped on work like your talking. joe-90 ? more like john wayne

Listen , i have done bigger better jobs than you have seen , tea boy i dont think so. Google st george's hall in liverpool, i was foreman on that job when it was completely re-roofed.

I wish, it took a month for each one mate, 2 guys. I used to work for this company, not done anything near as big since going self-employed. Have a look at some of the jobs we have done.
