Hopefully the weather holds out then. 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. Geoff and captin slows old outlaw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s to do with being tight, more to do with efficiency. Most trades are booked up as far as they can see and spending a couple of grand on a lid guarantees they keep working and on schedule, not rained off for days on end 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

I’m guessing that they are the old tiles, generally with loft conversions the old tiles are used on the most visible elevation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
