Hi, Had roof re-tiled in 2014 and posted here, at the time, with a few issues: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/new-roof-slates-angled-tilted.413618/ However, as per the thread title, since that time a number of the tiles (all along the same horizontal row) about half way up have been...

Nope - think he has several roofers and labourers on a number of jobs. He was fairly blunt and said he gave roofer a boll*&^ing, took him off this job and brought in a.n.other. Neighbour having bits done on roof also and said two guys and the boss up their all day yesterday taking it up and...

Hi, Got a call from boss-man yesterday morning (I leave v.early for work but had txt'd him over weekend), said he was stood outside house and it was totally unacceptable. Assured me he would now stay on-site and have roof re-tiled by other roofers. Got back yesterday evening and the boss...

Old roof taken off; re-felted (or whatever the membrane is), new flashings, new fascia’s/suffixes, new batons and new slate.

Hi, presently getting new roof slates fitted but about half way down they appear to tilt all along (i.e. the slates are flat but the vertical lines are at quite an angle). Uncertain of terminology - so have tried and show graphically - the angle isn't quite far off what is shown below (sorry...
