Hi,
See photo of my dormer tiles. Some are loose.

A roofer is coming soon to do another 'quick' job, and he said he would push them back up, while he was up there. I assume that the nails have rotted away, and it needs completely re-doing.
This is a Edwardian house, and the tiles look original, but are they the best for the job these days?

Hi N,
Do you see anything now?
My neighbour told me that when he had his done they used adhesive to bond them together, does this sound a good idea?

Hi D,
Yes, but I'm not sure how the edges fit. It appears that the timber covers them.
And It's easy to forget that they're up there when gardening.
