Roofing Q - -Work is in progress - is this right?

[scottishslater]

working in a full tile is generally better.Cuts ten to fall out.

I expect they have thought it through and not created themselves more work than needed -they've fixed more roofs than I have will have a chat with them in the morning.

If I was more knowledgeable I would have asked all these questions before they started - I'll know next time I still would personally have prefered the Roofshield to cover entirely (just seems logical)

I am confused myself it looks like the neighbours tiles are only overlapping by an inch or so, that may explain the coursing going skew- wiff.

 

[scottishslater]

yes when hes worked in the join thats when you'll see what its like but a think hes thinking about if hes trying to work in full tiles to the chimney

 

[scottishslater]

yes catlad the neighbours laps on there tiles does look minimal

The roofshield should not be visabile at the eaves!!! felt support trays or 5u should be used at eaves.
Sorry to say but don't think these guys have done maney roofs

 

[scottishslater]

we use 5u on site into gutters but being honest it aint that big a deal and is only really started being used with the addition of breathable felt at end of the day the felt all rots away and it will be the tiles that are doing the job.

 

[xfr]

breathable dosen't rot when not exsposed to sunlight!! Thats why felt support trays are used. And who wants to see a green strip of roofshield at gutter line

 

[scottishslater]

how you know they aint going to trim back on finish and you must have some eyesite to see green felt from the ground and that felt will rot in 20 years gaurenteed

 

[xfr]

you stick to slating cause you no nowt abot tiling

 

[scottishslater]

lol long you been doing roofing

 

[scottishslater]

i strip roofs 200 years old and they have no felt with no leaks so how is 5 u valid

 

[DAZB]

By the look of the second picture it doesn't look like they have left enough headlap on the tiles hence the difference in courses. There should be a minimum of 3" so may be worth checking.

 

[RedR]

Cheers xfr - see what you mean with support trays. The neighbours roof has been done a few years and their felt is visible so I thought this was normal!!

DAZB - I'll take a look at that. A fairly rough measurement from a photo suggests it is OK - the neighbours tiles on the other hand don't look as if they have that much overlap and I wonder if part of the issue is that my guys are doing it right and that's why they can't link in with next door?
