Shared Roof question.

[CortinaV8]

I have just replaced the roof at the rear of our house, its a sort of extension of the kitchen with a pitched, tiled roof on it.

Between our two roofs we have another section of tiles, different type of tiles to the actual roof tiles we have that has been bodged with cement at both ends where they two types join.

My problem is I want to replace this part of the roof also as a matter of course, I am to replace the tiles with the correct type, replace the wood, felt etc and replace the lead flashing over both properties as it, is not correct. The job wont cost them a penny, unless he wishes to contribute.

However if he does not want me to do his half, where do I stand. How would I make the joint between both properties? [/img]

If you need a joint between two different types of tile you'll need a secret gutter either pre-fabricated like the one on here: http://www.cavitytrays.co.uk/ click on associated products & then click on the type RBS one. Or a one can be fabricated out of lead, abit like the one on page 21 here: http://www.caldergroup.co.uk/media/CalderGTGLW.pdf

My mate mentioned a secret gutter, I hope he just agrees to let me do the full lot, would make a nicer job, but thats his call.

Also quite impressed that this is my first roof replacement and I appear to have not made any mistakes, even my lead work is to the book, without looking at a book, lol. Dont think I would want to try something bigger than that on my own though.
