cutting concrete roof tiles to fit lean to roof width

[hairyfingers]

Hi

I've got a lean-to roof which has cover width of 8.42 double roman tiles. Am I OK to cut tiles and drill a new fixing hole? I will will try and ensure one of the humps is on the outer edge of the roof. I've got some verge clips which I hope will support it a bit, perhaps some epoxy resin too if the hole doesn't work? roof is 22.5 degrees

any tips?

thanks

cut the right hand verge

Thanks. So, fine to cut?

 

[datarebal]

yes you can cut, makes sure you allow some overhang.

Great, yes I've allowed 50mm overhang on both sides. I think with a bit of shunt I can get it to be a half tile on the end, so hopefully will be fine. thanks

try it and see

Is it the right hand had side when looking from the outside, up the pitch? And is it the right hand side that is cut so the interlock edge remains on the tile? Thanks

yes R/H side looking at the roof fro out side square on. The channel will remain on and will be under the tile next to it. low risk of lifting

Excellent. Thanks again
