Not a bad effort at all. As said above it has been done by a builder. I also point the valley, keeps small cuts in place better in my opinion. We all do things different.

Is it not warning you that the outside temp is low?

Please do come back with some finished photos :)

Cutting always looks rough til the ridge tiles are on, no point it being anything special. Just make sure he strikes a line and gets the hip straight! Valley is fine, that will need pointing as well. Some roofers don't though.

Roofers? That wasn't done by roofers. Doesn't look anything up with your lead, a split should be obvious but we can not see much in the 1 picture really.

That style of bonding gutter is supposed to have a gap so you can point it up, hence the grit surface. The water will be running underneath the tiles and in your side through holes that the roofers have probably made while fitting it. Probably not felted properly underneath either.

Why did they not just join into your existing roof? Tiles are the same. Makes no sense and looks a shocking mess. Any more photos?

Yep as alastair said, Eaves slate is still fitted. This just takes the place of your DPC or breather membrane in the gutter, whatever your normal method is.

Or do you mean the layboard is too thick to tile over? If so then you will have to cut some of it away to allow the tiles to fit.

Just bring the tiles over the felt roof as it was before, easy enough really.

If it was a good few years ago then lead was worth less than 200 quid a ton. Wouldn't have even been worth the time removing.

No chance of repairing that.

The step flashing looks beautiful as well. Another builder attempting roofing.

Brief history; the roof was originally slate and replaced with tiles in the 90s. It was then put back to slate in 2002, badly. We are currently in the process of redoing the whole thing in reclaimed slate to match the other 2 houses we completed a few years ago. I know members on here...

Fascia is knackered, easy enough but depends how poorly the rafter feet are, which is where u will be fixing. The whole roof looks had it.

That looks fine to me.

That's how they should look, quite often these tiles pop up on ebay basically being given away. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Redland-49-Roof-Tiles-approx-1400-/251284695842?pt=UK_BOI_Ceilings_Walls_Roofing_ET&hash=item3a81bc2b22[/img]

49s.. no need for the half bond though, whatever dimwit put those on.
