Mr Punter Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The main contractor should have got you to approve the works first before striking the scaffold. To me, the broken tile needs attention and the rest is fine, although they could trim the ridge tile 30mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and that could be a very expensive error on their part if they have to put it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them wanting to strip the roof to replace the clipped verge tiles without scaffold, although I doubt they would do it anyway without charging £££ extra.

Looking at my roof Makie is that a big / expensive job (couple of days work?) to replace those clipped ones properly like you said to expose them to double nail them etc. Just wondered. House pic is on my profile page thingy. Edited August 23, 2020 by Bozza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
