Hi ,

Could do with some help and advice from the experts .
Recently with the bad weather and storm 6 of my clay roof bonnets have came away from the roof and smashed, l’m no expert but my friend is pretty handy at these type of problems and so we have searched reclaim yards for a hand full of bonnets of the same profile but have had no luck .
Some have same size but more lift on them so wouldn’t sit correctly.
The house is an end terraced property built 70 years ago , so where could l look for same profile clay bonnets or any other advice to solve this .

Generally new bonnet hip tiles have a pitch range of 40 - 60 degrees. They can sit oddly on the first few courses due to the fascia kick.

You may not have understood my tweet, which is that l haven’t bought any bonnets yet as none are the same profile ..
What can l do , or where is it best to look or get them..
