Hi all, I'm renewing my roof this spring/summer as part of ongoing renovations and loft conversion. This will include some roof windows and 'warm roof' insulation.
The thing is, I'm working alone and along with the other half we are still living in the property, so I want to keep things manageable. I'm aware that roofers pre-load a roof with tiles to distribute the weight before fixing, so is there any risk if I completely strip one side down to the rafters whilst the other side is still tiled?
It's about 50sq m per side (10 wide, 5 drop) of plain concrete tiles @ 40degree pitch, on a 1963 cut frame. The additional collars for the loft conversion are in place and all of the original supports are still in place.
Or should I do opposite halfs at a time to keep the weight distribution more even? Although this makes it tricky to stagger battens etc. Any advice welcome, thanks.
