Convince me I can put a roof on...

[Roundtuit]

I've now got a garage frame up, and I'm seriously considering roofing it myself as a) I'd like to save a few quid, and b) I'm weary of the whole world of disappointment that trying to get someone else to do work often involves.

 

So: approx 120 sq m, interlocking clay pantiles, fully hipped, mortar-bedded hips and ridges.  How hard can it be?

Are dry ridges an option with the tiles you are using?

 

I did my own roof 190m2 but it has gable ends not hips

If your just tiling it It’s a quite straight forward job  Start straight and mark one side out at a time 

I’d loose the mortar bedded hips in favor of dry verge

Yes, but I'd like a more traditional look, and to match the house I think mortar-bedded is the way to go.  I realise it will be slower and more challenging though.
