ProDave Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 They will look shite straight, they need to be staggered to look correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassanclan Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) "TILES The roof is to be covered with WESTERN SLATE flat tiles as per sample approved and laid in even courses of not more than 345mm gauge and not less than 75mm headlap. The tiling is to be broken bonded."

Dave Jones Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 they are interlocking so would be water tight laid straight with the correct headlap, as would a single row on its own for example. But as others said would look 'different'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
