Typical Labour. I’m alright Jack…..

[Harry Bloomfield]

What does that say ?

Are you terminally stupid??

Obviously, councils waste money, doing replacement work which is completely unnecessary. They have a pot of money to allocate, or they miss out on it - so they spend it, need to or not. My roofer, whose opinion I trust, has said my original roof, will outlast, the ones which were replaced. They only have a double thickness of tile, versus my triple, so any tile failure means they potentially have a leak.

I'm guessing Harry's referring to the size of overlap.

 

[Diver Fred]

Am I reading this right?

New tiles have been laid over existing tiles, twice ?

Think he means the Headlap.

No, they work to a plan of lifecycle replacements to keep things up to date before problems arise.

They have 30 year plans on investment works, rather than waiting till things fail, which cannot be planned for.

No, they work to a plan of lifecycle replacements to keep things up to date before problems arise.

Then account for why only 1/3 of rooves were replaced, and chosen completely at random? How do explain them not replacing any of the rooves, still in council ownership since then, how do you account for none of the privately owned ones needing replacement either?

I'm not a roofer.

But I can read..... because there are three layers of tiles, over the entire roof .

That says, in the language that I speak, .

There are 3 LAYERS of tiles
Over an ENTIRE roof

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Think he means the Headlap

Maybe he should state that then, rather than calling others stupid.

In English, 3 layers of tiles means, 3, layers, of tiles

Guessing

Yes, guesses are needed

I don't know the detail but any right to buys have to pay their share and if they refuse then it doesn't get done. For example.

You will need to explain what that sentence was intended to say..

 

[noseall]

My roof, is the original one. Earlier in the year, I had a roofer friend replace 100 tiles which were chipped, from my stock of tiles. No chance of leaks, because there are three layers of tiles, over the entire roof. The new rooves, only have two tile thick rooves.

Eh? WTF?

Is that you way of comparing a plain tile roof head-lap to say a concrete interlocking tile roof head-lap?

Regardless, both roofs only have one layer of tiles. And regardless of head-lap a plain tile roof is just as vulnerable to leaks as a concrete interlocking roof.

Which reinforces your basic misunderstanding of the situation.

You are simply reinforcing a nonsense sentence. Perhaps you know what you meant, but no one else does.
