Half do things do you?

OMG joe ? what planet are you from??? Rosemary's in perfect condition, with all lugs and no chips, splintering etc will get you a max of 15p each. Most old rosemary roofs were nailed with big headed clout nails that have rusted so you lose at least 50%, regardless of roof condition. I'd say a...

just a thought if your stuck with choices for tiles, the 'cambrian' roof tile is used quite a bit up here for shallow pitches. They are an inter locking slate looking tile. Not likely to match what you have but the best tile for shallow pitches imo, i think they're good until 12.5 degrees of...

i think you on about a mansard roof, but without a pic can't really help.

depending on the weight that will be on the scaff, i wouldn't overload a chimney scaff too much. Best ring up the scaffolders

We use undercloak that you use on gable ends to go under the tiles in the valley's to bed the tiles on, either nailed to the valley board or the battens never into the lead.

What?? all roofing battens are tanelized ( or protomized)

And look at the price of it, and when it's perished in 30 years it will be worth nothing.

The tiles arn't even 'bedded' in (on undercloak) with mortar, how are the smaller cuts going to stay in place as i can see he hasn't used tile and a half for it.

Lead done properly will last more than a lifetime the likes of 'flash band' wont.

how about a jet wash?

as said reclamation yard or get new 24x12's . Just remember the thickness your slates are and get ones that are a close match.

sounds like it's been laid a bit loose, but wind can get right up there if your roof is tiled? as opposed to slate. you could glue it in say 3 spots in between every rafter, you'd still have it venting then as opposed to gluing the whole overlap.

no it's not, get the roofer back to do a proper job

we don't count eaves. Verges and tops cut first, usually use slate and a half on the verges tho. Money's ok not great mate, if your working for a 'firm' then your lucky to get £350 take home here

i usually average 900 - 1000 a day , not chucked on either. shame there's no work about at the momentr tho !! You won't beat a welsh slater

wow that is a bodge job if ever i saw one !! overlapping board ends?? 20yrs experience? it certainly wasn't experience in doing a good job

a bucket of water would be no good as a test of a leak is the leak was caused by wind . what kind of roof is is? slate, tile, flat lead? a pic would be most helpful

I'd seriously advise you to reconsider, have you marked the roof out? have you sorted the slates? Are all your battens straight? 0.5 inch one way and 0.5 inch the other would render your roof next to useless in a strong wind. If you make a mistake (100% guaranteed) it will cost you probably...

you can alter the amount of exposed flashing on either side by simply closing the battening gauge for the tiles, your on a hip end anyway so no need to worry about working the gauge out to meet the roofline. But as said it's a perfectly acceptable installation. Oh and the pics you posted...
