Roof connecting
I am having my roof done and we are an end terrace, therefore connected to another terrace house.

Should there be tiles in between two adjoining sections of my roof?
Hi my question relates to a new roof I have just put on. It’s a fairly large roof and it’s split up into two sections. In between the two sides there is a dipped section which is almost flat. The roofer hasn’t put tiles on this section as the water drains towards the gutters. But should he have put some tiles here as this section is practically flat and will collect rainwater almost certainly? Should he have added tiles here and made a ridge?
how to dispose of roof tiles
I’m replacing two roof tiles. Can I throw these tiles in an ordinary bin? Should they go in a recycling bin? Or are roof tiles the sort of material that need to be disposed of with a unique waste disposal approach?
Replacing roof tiles detached house
My neighbour is being a problem we want to replace a roof tiles on our house. But how would it be possible if he doesn’t allow us access to get scaffolding up on his side. 3 sides of the roof can be replaced but the side which is on the neighbours side won’t be reached as cannot get any scaffolding up. Any idea what can be done.
Bonding gutter installation
Can any body tell me the standard or regulations when replacing both roof and felt on a semi detached property? Is fitting a bonding gutter possible without compromising next doors roof? My felt appears to have dropped on my side where the neighbours have had their roof done.
