Thanks Robert. Happy now the scaffolding is down. Can start cracking on with the other stuff now 👍👍👍

The stonework is a credit to you 👍🏼👍🏼 All our ridge tiles have overlaps rather than butt joins. I’ve never really worked out how to get them to stick well to the bedding mortar. Also we have an acrylic premixed coloured mortar product that’s used to surface the bedding mortar. You can get it in many colours. It sticks like shit to a blanket and easy to use. Far more consistent and durable than mortar mixed on site to finish off the surfaces. A bit tricky to use on hot days but it’s doable. All roof tilers here use that now.

Cheers aussie. Sound good the acrylic stuff minght be over hear soon. Most of out Ridge tiles now are held together with plastic clips and screws. But don't look as good as cement. That's probably why you don't find many lapted tiles now just the old buildings 👍👍👍

Quality workmanship as always buddy 🔥👍

Came out proper tidy like, Mark. That extn is the size of two houses in some parts of the country. Not related to your (excellent) work but the window sizes and layout all look to cock. Despite the size of the building I personally don't think it looks attractive.

Is it not a requirement for ridge tiles to be held down mechanically (screws) and either be dry fitted (with appropriate tape etc) or mortared? Or does that only apply to new properties?

@markhep

It's just new builds.i think .I always ask the customer what they want .and on extensions they ask me to do it the same as rest of house .if it was a house near a pavement.i would definitely screw them down with plastic dry fit .but I mention this to my customers and they .never want it .unless I am re doing the hole House to match 👍👍

You don't use a spirit level to install ridge tiles, especially if the roof is not level. I use my little fingers to gauge the mortar and go with the level of the roof. Its not cement , its mortar. If you are going to make a tutorial video then teach correctly.

You haven’t got a clue how to put ridge on , stick yo what your good at , because it isn’t roofing.
