Roofpitch and headlap

[excited]

Sandtoft Double Roman Sandface concrete tiles.

The minimum roof pitch for these tiles is 30° at 75 mm head lap.

If I increase the head lap to 100mm could I then reduce the pitch. Need to have a pitch of 25°. As I'm restricted by Ridge..

Thanks

Sandtoft probably think if you need a roof pitch less than 30 degrees you would go for the smoothfaced.
I would think that if you increase the headlap by 25mm you could reduce the pitch by 5 degrees, the same as with the smoothfaced.

Only way to find out for sure would be to give Sandtoft a call...unless anyone here knows for certain.

Thanks for the answer RonnyRaygun, We have PP in for a side extension and I have to match the existing house roof tiles.

If I could get the same in smooth faced then yes. But cant find the same colour.

Ill call them tomorrow.

In planning terms, "match" does not mean identical match

Woody, Please explain more.

What more is there to say?

You don't have to use the exact same tiles. A close colour match and similar profile is all you need to aim for

Thanks So Smooth instead of sand faced should be okay ?

Of course.
The smooth will be sand-faced in a few years anyway
