Dan_82 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hi, We have exchanged on a new build which just had the roof tiled. There is a public path at the back of the property so I took a look and noticed a chipped roof tile, a loose roof tile and top tiles not level and flush to the chimney. The scaffolding is being taken down but would have expected roofers to correct before finishing. Is this something the builder would put right or does it fall into NHBC tolerances, not complete yet but wanted your views on is this normal or a bad job?

makie Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Contact the site agent and inform them about it so they have a record before the habitation is done. The cut ridges are also smaller than allowed by NHBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHBC standards are not the same as their warranty obligations, so expect nothing from them either. You might find a delightful site agent who will be pleased to sort these things out....or not. If not then tell whoever is your formal contact, in writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a dry ridge system they used too so not unusual to make it flow away from the chimney. Once a bit of rain has washed the crap away it probably won't look too bad.

Or something like "It seems to me that cut ridges are smaller than required from my understanding of the NHBC requirements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 One tile got deformed on the bottom edge during manufacture, should not have been used, won’t leak though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
