Is it ever ok to use tiles at a pitch below the manufacturer's recommended minimum?

Not ok as you won’t get manufacturer guarantee for your roof

Hi I don’t recommend using tiles at a pitch lower than recommended this can lead to leaks few years down the line I come across this problem all the time if the pitch is low go with a rubber or grp roof hope this helps

Definitely not okay, it would cause a capillary reaction. There are some tiles that go down to ten degrees but a flat roofing system might be the best option.

Lewis · Answer

No definitely not what tiles and pitch of roof are you trying to do

Les · Answer

I would never recommend doing this, we are experiencing serious storms and high winds more often so I think it is even more important to stick to the guidelines

Unfortunately I've had the experience of putting right a previous roofers mistake,  extension completely finished both internally and externally,  totally strip roof , double felt , counter battening then fairings to increase pitch felt again and retile full roof,  so no , big mistake use building regs for all trades and manufacturers guidelines.
