The roof is very busy with all the velux windows and the sandtoft 20x20 don't help. A lot will be warped when they are fired being clay also they will ride up on velux flashing kits what you have to do is grind off the back of the tile till they sit right time consuming

@martinmoscrop7124 3 жыл бұрын

I totally agree Tom I’ve used dry ridge for years now and never used cement yet. Everything you’ve done on this build has been absolutely amazing but I’m sorry to say that the roof has totally spoilt the whole job, it’s not pleasing to the eye at all. The old guy is past his sell by date, personally I’d have all the tiles removed and start again. All the chasing out should have been done with a 4 x 2 sat on the battens and temporary fixed to the wall to stabilise the grinder, a plastic end cap to cover the end ridge instead of that wet cement, also the ridge brackets were missing to fix the screws in. So sorry to burst your bubble but please take heed of the comments, put it right or you’ll regret it later on.

Can't believe you're doing a roof with no edge protection on the gable, you fall from there it's game over. And you could be held liable for someone else's injury under the health and safety at work act. Not trying to preach, just trying to protect others as I work at height as a scaffolder.

Tiles around the velux don’t seem to sit flat, not being negative

@OfficeBoyBuilder 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah I asked Steve about that - he said that's common when the tiles have to be cut around the Velux as the flashing kit has the sponge which pushes them up. Not ideal, but better that the tile is pushed up and away from the window which helps drive the water off.

@@OfficeBoyBuilder Nightmare roof to work on just look at them tiles and they crack. I've got the same sandtoft 20/20 minimum pitch 15 degrees. With the tiles around the Velux in the book it tells you to cut the sponge down to suit and you can also grind a bit of the back of the tile off to get it a fair bit flatter but this all takes time. Also get yourself a old foam mattress cut it in half and tie some osb to the top then you can use them to move about up there without breaking anything. Love the videos and thanks for sharing

@adrianwilding2912 3 жыл бұрын

You must have installed a lifetimes worth of Velux windows by now so you can forget all you've learned!! Hopefully they are standing up to the snow, but the big test is when that starts to melt! A tricky bit of tiling made to look easy. Are you fitting a vented eaves soffit opposite the ridge to keep the airflow direct? Looking good, and must be very nice to be dry and secure now.

@OfficeBoyBuilder 3 жыл бұрын

Yes we've had two lots of snow (and meltwater) now and not a single leak. We also had enough rain in 4 days to half fill a wheelbarrow! Very nice to be dry. We're having a vented soffit on our side, and I've left enough space on the other for ventilation to flow past the guttering, across the top of the roof.

Cheers mate! I went with Sandtoft Humber plain Buckingham tiles. They are unbelievably brittle, and I do with they weren't. I love the look of them, but as that can be achieved with other tiles I probably would have changed them EXCEPT... Covid-19 and lockdown meant roof tile availability was almost zero, and our low pitch of 17.5 degrees, put us in a real bind for options...all the best with your extension, I hope it goes well. Are you self-building?

@OfficeBoyBuilder 3 жыл бұрын

As I'm not a roofer I may be incorrect here, but I believe it depends on the gauge of the tile and the lap specified by the manufacturer. In this instance we had 100mm gauge which obviously closes up the lap vs. if you had 75mm lap.

@OfficeBoyBuilder 3 жыл бұрын

Fair enough mate, thanks for being tactful in the way you've suggested that! Because of the size, shape and projection of the roof, it's actually impossible to see the ridge from anywhere except the upstairs rooms, and then because of the sightlines of the windows, it's not possible to see the cut tile nearest the house, so in this instance it works. I think your suggestion is a good one though for cases where it would be visible.

Shouldn't the ridge tiles be bonded with cement or can you do without in some cases?

@OfficeBoyBuilder 3 жыл бұрын

It's a dry-ridge system, which is designed to allow airflow (and evaporation from condensation) without letting in rain water. This means you can't use cement to bed the tiles in - save for the first and last tile as you saw.
