Nightmare tile to try to get to sit nicely, especially when you consider that the flashings are trying to lift the tiles 5mm - 10mm above their normal seating position. It's their sheer width verses their unforgiving flatness. That said, an experienced roofer can mitigate the amount that the...

DUJ666 - Your original question was "how do they look" and the answer is I think they look OK. I've still not got a definate answer about the best way to fix mine (between sandtoft at one extreme and the roofing contractors at the other extreme), and it's looking like fitting them neatly around...

Thanks, do you just cut a recess?, the back of the modern tile is quite complex with the different reinforcement ribs so I couldn't quite figure out where to cut. Also I've just spoken to velux technical who confirmed that a) I am an idiot and b) the instructions could be clearer (she had to go...

Hi there.... Your extension looks exactly like ours and we have the same problems so wondered if you were able to overcome them and have any tips. Our roof is just over 15 degrees pitch and we have 3 velux windows fitted about 1200mm apart. We too have used sandtoft 20/20 tiles butthe...

Hello! I'm new to the forum so please forgive possible topic duplication. I recently contracted a local roofer (via checkatrade - got 3 quotes) to strip, felt and slate my 1930's bungalow which previously had french clay interlocking tiles leaking all over the place. I opted for natural...

Thanks for replies, the irony is the guy that put it in is a builder by trade..... Dont know what fitting is like from the inside, and i'm sure this would leak too you can see two points which are outside of the window flashing gulleys ! - a question you guys might know, looking at the...

Right where do we start! Check that tiles have enough headlap on every course for that pitch of roof, should be minimum 65mm headlap on those tiles, looks like tiles have been overspaced horizontally. The tiles that are cut into the velux, some have been left short and they are kicking up...

Good afternoon all. Apologies if this has been covered somewhere:I searched around for what I thought were the right terms, but couldn’t find an answer. I’m about to start skating the inner faces of a double-ridge roof with a wide gutter between them. Photo 1 shows both roofs, with the...

As others have said that workmanship is poor to the point of being unserviceable. There is some irregularity in the rafters but not so much it should be a problem, the roofer should have corrected any significant changes by notching/packing as appropriate. If there are severe irregularities many...
