Just a bit of advice, I have been out of the game for 25years or so but I would like to strip and recover my house its a mid terrace stone cottage (300 year oldish) its in Lincs so as most roofs around here it as clay pantiles which are back pointed.
Next door as had theirs re-roofed last year, but I dont get on with the landlord so dont want to ask them for the roofers details so I can get the spec's of the materials used i.e. the felt was green with writing on it, I dont know if it was 1 or 1.5 meter in width, the tiles are Sandtoft clay pantiles, (does anyone have any tips on laying them as when i was a roofer in Leeds not many houses had pantiles ).
One side of my roof is gable to gable so therefore I will be using 6" asbestos or a newer type of material I guess for the gables, with the allowable over hangs which will depend on my marking out, it use to be 1" min or 3" max gable over hang, as this changed or are these still the norm? The other side of the roof is new Sandtoft clay pans to I think they were called Ludlow magors or redland renowns, anyway back in the day a fibre glass secret type gutter had just come out to stop rough arses running a ridge up the join, does anyone know the name of this or again is there an alternative. Also do you bed the dental slips or just sit them down.
Also I am going to do redo the lead work completly, does anyone know if you can buy abutments for pantiles or do thy use soakers or do you just have a extra long stepped flashing and dress accordingly. I have 2 chimneys to flash as they have concrete flashings and green mineral aprons at the moment...........bless!
And finally, when im felting it should I put any vents any where?
Any advice would be appreciated sorry for all the questions but I want it
right!
