Moderns or mendips (or something else)

[23vc]

Morning
I’ve got a lean to roof to do on my extension sometime this year, pitch is about 20degrees with 3 veluxs. The only tiles I’ve had any dealings with for lower pitches are Marley moderns and mendips, out of the 2 I prefer the moderns. I’ve seen leaky veluxs around moderns but hopefully if I take my time and get it right (ie ask loads of questions on here ) I’ll avoid that.
Anyway my point being just wondered if anyone’s got any tips on one or the other, or any other suggestions. I’m not too bothered about what it looks like from the outside as it’s round the back (main roof is anglia which I’ll happily avoid)
Cheers for any advice as always

Mendips will afford you a better working platform - they will be stronger and less likely to misbehave whilst you are inevitably working upon them.

the mendip is more suitable for your pitch.
should all be straightforward

Thanks guys
May well be mendips then, I reckon my weak spot will be the veluxs due to my general lack of experience but I know I need to take my time and get it right
Then again with the apparent roof tile shortage the choice may be made for me!

i think marleys are coming back online in this area anyway.
the velux really are nothing to worry about.. like painting by numbers

Yeah hopefully, but there do seem a lot of posts on here about leaky veluxs on low pitch roofs. But with advice from people like you I’m confident I can do it

Im in the same position as you as in I have a low pitch extension roof at 18Degrees to be built with 3 Roof windows and the tiles I was recommended were Mendips or Moderns. When I spoke with a local Builder he suggested Sandtoft 20/20 low pitch roof tiles which would be fine as they go down to 15Degrees they don't seem to badly priced either def worth a look.

I prefer to use a Redland regent on lower pitched roofs and give it at least a 4 inch lap.
