Concrete tiles on roof crooked?

[Ozzpala]

Hi all

Bottom 2 rows of tiles on our roof seem crooked. We’ve got an issue with the bottom row not been gauged out properly and this is now going to be rectified it’s far too close to the gutter. Roof was done way before we moved in.

The row above the first just seems like this is also sitting at an angle? Could this be due to the first course been done wrong? And this could rectify it?

Probably down to a rubbish roof build, i.e. differing length rafters and the subsequent twisted gauge of the tile battens to compensate.

I re-roofed a single storey kitchen extension in the summer, that was very badly built. The brickwork was so bad, that they had to mess about with the roof (rafter lengths) so as to disguise dodgy brickwork and make the soffit appear to be even. I re-built the roof with equal length rafters. The soffit width varied 100mm along its 6m length once the roof was built (correctly)

It might be easier, to lower the gutter a little, to clear the tiles.

Seems to be Marley Modern ie The King of the Roof Tiles, so a bit of wonkiness can be tolerated if the aesthetics don't bother you.

That's the problem when things are not made of plastic in a factory out of perfect moulds.

But I suppose the gutter bowing up does not help the aesthetic - despite being much easier to fix.

That'll be a Mendip.

Moderns are a pig to work on.
