I’ve been telling him over and over that the waviness and overhang and the interlocking issue is because he’s used the slightly larger new tiles to create the entire first couple of rows as well as using then in a big area of the on the left at the front. First he said the problem was with the...

He said these were the new ones he bought: https://www.roofingoutlet.co.uk/products/redland-49-roof-tile-farmhouse-red#shopify-section-template--14725478645831__b2484fa2-6dbd-451f-b469-521ff93731ba Of course when he told me how much he paid for them I showed him that website and he said “you...

The room in the outhouse has a depth of 3.6m. The ceiling angle follows the joists above it. The height of the room is 2.5m at the front and 3m at the back. So my online calculator gives it a pitch of about 8 degrees. Oh crap. The roof angle was never built steep enough to cope with tiles was...

Oops sorry yes it was Datarebal who suggested arranging the new tiles together vertically, thank you :) So this is how things went (in answer to DAZB's Q about prices): 1. Initially got him in with the water leaking from the soffit on the outhouse. The old felt wasn’t nicely overlapping into...

Thanks woody. I'm not sure there is much I can do though. You see the underlying roof joists (built 20 years ago) were always a little uneven, so the roofer did tell me that there would again be slight undulations even when he finished the re-roofing. The old roof had these undulations. But...

I wrote to the roofer to address these points but all I got back was this: “There’s nothing wrong with that, Roof, what we have done with the tiles that Roof is fine I don’t need redoing and it is waterproof now” Thanks for all your feedback guys. Much appreciate you helping out a novice at...

Ah I see what has happened. The new tiles are just under 230mm wide (Marley?) and the old ones were just over 225mm wide (Redland?). That’s probably why the wave pattern is being caused since he used new tiles in the front two rows. And probably explains this overhang at the front left edge

Oh I see what you mean about it being wavy :(. What a mess I feel like such an idiot. I will attach a photo of the entire new roof. I will also attach a photo of the “before” when it leaked but at least the original tiles were laid in a straight line

Thanks for the feedback Alastairreid. When you say the whole lot, do you mean the first three rows or the entire roof? :( Everything above those first three rows seems to be interlocking fine (but I bow to your experience on this)

Hi. I recently employed a TrustATrader company to re roof my single storey detached outhouse after encountering water leaking through the soffits. They took off the tiles and then changed the ripped felt and rotted battens for new ones and then put the old tiles back on. They had to buy some...
