Ask your QuestionI am replacing my roof and want to use grey tiles instead of the brownish ones I currently have (semi detached property), can I do this?
Asked by Hazel on 1st Feb 2021Best Answer
"Yes as long as the tiles you use are of similar size and style you can use them without the need for changing the batten or felt providing they are in good order."
Answered on 2nd Feb 2021 - Member since Feb 2020 - report"I do not see why not you cannot do this for. If you will be replacing the whole roof then you can use different size tiles anyway and if you were to replace one or two tiles here and there then the tiles could be cut to size as well."

Answered on 3rd Feb 2021 - Member since Dec 2018 - report"Yes,it's your property,you can have any colour you like.
Tile bonders will have to be used between your tiles and next door.

Answered on 2nd Feb 2021 - Member since Nov 2020 - report"Yes you can and it looks very nice when it’s done I have made several tiled roofs in grey"
Answered on 2nd Feb 2021 - Member since Sep 2018 - report"Yes if the tiles are the same profile if not then you would need a bonding gutter fitted either side"
Answered on 2nd Feb 2021 - Member since Feb 2020 - report"As it’s semi detached your only worry should be that the battens are solid and that the tradesmen make sure the tiles either interlock with next door or they make the roof watertight between the two properties colour shouldn’t be an issue"
