Yes, I took this to record the state of the old roof so you can see the old ridge tiles in the background.

Thanks for all the details. This was built before we moved here but the flat roof was very high. I think the new flat roof has pushed it higher and caused problems with fitting the ridge tiles.

I think you are absolutely right there. Perhaps that's why those ridge tiles are also now set at a strange angle.

Sorry, I have added pictures from the other side now to make this clearer. I just can't see why the last 2 tiles are not in line with the others.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me make sense of this issue. We had a flat roof resurfaced and the roofer removed and reset the ridge tiles but has now offset them which looks odd to me. The pictures show before and after. Here is the explanation I received when questioning the need for this. "Hi there, we done it that way as your flat roof ends there, it's an end peak to install harris rails so it's flush we can change it if you wish buddy we done it that way for better run off on the roof from harris rail and the battern line under ridge" The flat roof is at the rear of the property and these pictures are from the front view. They fitted the old tiles but it looks like they broke one and added in a different tile. I'm just not sure how to respond now and if I should even have them back to change it. Many thanks Gary

Good morning, I live in a 1930s converted bungalow and am constantly trying to answer the question 'what work can I do myself and when should I seek help?' I hope to pick up some guidance here. Gary
