Fought them for 10 minutes no movement and it started raining☔️ 😭😭😭.😆🙄🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Luckily I had a professional car door card tool, which rocks them up and back.

Thank you so much, just got home and a tile right next to a velux window has slipped down. After watching this video going via the safety of the velux window with just my arms outside I pushed the above tile up, slid up the loose tile and screwed it back down followed by pulling back the tile above. Sorted!. The original nail for some reason wasn't long enough, the long thin screw worked a treat.

You know what I mean? I saw that you didn’t crack it when you got the nail out but is there another way to get a nail out if you think the tile might crack as you use the jemmy? Or is it just a case of putting some cloth underneath or something? Cheers.

Hi mate .I have slow dripping leak in the roof .one or more tiles have eroded or broken letting in water slowly and the felt must be soaking up the water. i am being told that the whole roof needs to be replaced or at the least one side. This to me seems ridiculous .Is it not possible for a tradesman to erect scaffolding and fined and replace the broken tiles .I have been told that the felt does not stop water the roof tiles do that so if thats the case why i am being told the whole of one side needs to be removed and replaced when its simply a matter of fining and replacing the broken tiles? can you give your best thoughts on this please.

You have to be careful with some roofers as they will try it on. A roofer tried to rip me off about 10 years ago, which is one reason why I set up my website (then the KZread channel). The felt is supposed to be waterproof and any water that gets through or under the tiles is supposed to run down the felt into the gutter. You are sure that your problem is not caused by condensation? I'd get opinions from at least three different roofers to be on the safe side ;-)
