Hi all,
About two weeks ago I had a roofing company do the complete roof. The original tiles were concrete tiles but we opted for the ridged tiles to match the neighbouring property.
Anyway the roofing was done and all completed on one day and all looked good. I have only recently went up in the loft and noticed a few issues but not sure if they are problems or if they are normal.
The breathable membrane used is a white cloth type where as my old one was like rigid plastic. This has increased road noise from the roof. A guy at work said this is the norm and that the newer membranes aint going to be like what they used back in 1930. Also, when you tap it you can hear some sort of dust rolling off, and there is also some pieces of tiles which can be felt in between the roof tiles and the membrane.
The second thing i noticed is that the white membrane used is visible from the outside of the property, at the bottom edge of tiles, where it meets the gutter. Between the tiles and the guttering you can see it slightly and is obvious when it is windy, as you can see it moving. I had a look at other newly done roofs and I can't see the majority of these doing this. One or two did show the same. Should this have been trimmed back by the roofer or is this normal?
Appreciate if someone can let me know if it is something to worry about or not, so that I am prepared for when I confront the roofer about these.
