Many years ago i had an extension fitted with Fortecrete (?) tiles fitted and to gain lenght the builder made it to shallow. I had always had water entry in bad rain. Had a roofer look at it and he was able to put a sealant on tiles to stop water getting under tiles. At the time he said this is not a correct repair but there was no other answer. Water coming in again does anybody know what sealant he used ? looked like a mastic gun type tube.
Water entry as tiled roof not right angle

People need to stop putting roof tiles on flat roofs for a start.
Strip the lot off and build a flat roof system, then fit the tiles back on as decoration.

You can paint the hole roof this a waterproofing stuf. It will last a few year but ypu will always have trubbel with it. If you was to strip the roof and do it as a flat roof then put your tiles back on you would have the problem of putting nails throw your water prove membranes. Try getting something like this should last a few years just be shore you put a few cotes on

I like that as a concept noseybonk but how would one fix the battens without penetrating the waterproof layer.
I was thinking Onduline or similar.
I don't know what looks worse, an overly flat roof pitch with tiles on it or a standard flattie.

Or zinc?
I think zinc's too modern for noseall, he likes mud huts and straw insulation!
Er....the point I was getting at was that if people are insisting on putting tiles on ridiculously low pitched roofs they may as well have protection beneath.
I just don't understand why anyone would want tiles on such a low pitch in any case - they look shoite.
As said, zinc or lead or GRP or even a felted flattie looks better.
