Hi… We don’t get on with our neighbours but we share our roof with them as the house is a semi. We want to get our roof tiles replaced but were wondering if its possible to have the roof work done without the neighbours permission/approval?
I have had some slate tiles fall from my roof recently due to weather and general ageing. Some of the tiles are barely damaged so would be reusable and I will find some replacement for any others. What would I need to set the slates back on the roof most effectively? Would it usually be by using cement or some other adhesives to keep them in place correctly? I would like to resolve this myself if possible.
Hello, I have no lead flashing on my artificial slate roof, but have been told there are lead soakers. My local roofer says lead flashing isn’t a requirement for this roof type. Does anyone know if I should have lead flashing on my roof? I have some concern that some leaks on a ceiling-adjacent wall could be related to this, or perhaps the soakers aren’t effective enough. Any info would be appreciated – thanks Gordon
My neighbour has had a new roof. Previously our tiles were tied together. They have said her roof is higher so have used ridge tiles to cover the gap. Is this allowed? All other houses in the road are tied together even with a new roof.
What is an estimated cost of removing loose mortar from approx 34 ridge tiles and cover rear face only with 3:1 mix? (approx work time?)
Sat in my house today and my neighbour was having a dry verge system fitted to both gable ends, we are semi detached but the workmen were on my side of the roof without asking. Are they allowed to do this? What do I do if they have caused damage to the tiles or my solar panels?
We have a leak and invited a roofer to repair who quickly recommended changing the flashing around the chimney stack. It has improved but continues to rain in but the roofer has advised he can't identify the source of the leak even though we have made some suggestions. Should it be so hard to find? The leak is all around the stack.
There is water coming in from my roof and also the neighbours roof is having problems. We need to find the source of the leak.
Hi a roofer has replaced a broken ridge tile and said fitted a lead soaker, I expected to see this but all I can see is cement. Is there anyway to tell if it has been fitted?
Neighbour’s have just had a new roof and their roofer has bonded in the original very old tiles from when these houses were constructed 1950-60’s into my 5-6 year old roof. The old tiles have also been painted previously. They have used a bonding gutter in between but have put old tiles every other tile going down my roof front and back. Should the roofer not have found similar new tiles like mine and used them? Rather than the old painted tiles which were obviously at the end of their service life which is obviously why the neighbour was changing their roof.
