New roof - anything to watch out for?

[Chuckles1066]

I'm looking at getting somebody to re-roof my property in the next couple of months; it's a mid-terraced 1930's house with a small canopy which will need doing as well.

The tiles are the original Brosley(?) and a couple of the nibs are looking flakey so I thought "right, let's get it felted and retiled".

What potential pitfalls do I need to watch out for?

Many thanks for any heads-ups

I would say that marrying into the neighbours on each side will need special attention. Also look out for chimney flashings etc.

Watch out for caravan dwellers.

Building regs application for thermal efficiency - increase insulation. I find this is a very good way of filtering out good knowledgeable firms from crap ones. A good one mentions this requirement even if not asked about it.

Bonding into the neighbours roof tiles or a joining gutter?
