An elderly relative has a roof with Rosemary tiles, it's standard Scottish roof with sarking boards. Are the tiles normally double nailed & what's the best way to replace a few tiles.
Thanks
Are Rosemary tiles not always on tile battens Alastair?
There's only a few that look loose & one or two missing, but the hips tiles have a lot of mortar loose & there's no hip irons??!! What's the best way to deal with the hips?
Sorry to pick your brains, I'm a Plumber & done lots of Lead work so no stranger to roof work and I don't want the old folk getting ripped off.
No! not in Scotland they are mostly double nailed straight to sarkin boards.
i've stripped 100's over the years.
Modern day specs are usually always on tile batten though.

None of these mate, they look like standard hip/ridge tiles, as you'd see on a normal concrete tiled roof - bedded & pointed with mortar.
If they're double nailed would I be able to remove them with a slate ripper? If they're doubled nailed & no battens, they'll all be nailed.
Thanks mate.
