I don’t deal with many builders that chance it these days, one flooded room can wipe the job out. I’m sure you’ll be ok though- it’s not like you’re on a hill or near the coast. No, nowhere near either 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin roofs have always had some inexplicable price concept to them but in reality they aren’t any great feat. The tarp seems to be holding up in the 50 mph winds.

Nobody wants the hassle of storm damage. That looks like piles of tiles on the scaffold, I assume they are the new ones ready for the roofers ? I am surprised you managed to source them as tiles are in short supply at the moment, brother in law has been told they wont be available until sept /oct for one of his extension jobs !

The pile of tiles are the old ones stripped off the roof. New ones we need extra will be here next week. We are re using the old ones as they are only 10 years old from when we re roofed after our last extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
