Hey,

what do you think about the marked areas in the picture? Are these scratches on the roof tiles? There are no such signs on the other side of the roof.

Thanks & best regards

Red tiled roof with wave tiles; horizontal metal pipe above, marked spots.

Looks away or washes off. Master roofers also say "it can take up to a year until nothing is visible anymore."

If you buy a new car with spots like that, anyone would freak out.
With roof tiles, it just kind of blends in.

Just kidding!

No, I wouldn’t say I’m indifferent, considering the price of roof tiles. But I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it either. I’d ask briefly how and why... but in the end, it’s still "neglectable"...

Well, since this is the south side and the sun shines on it beautifully (just like earlier), I don’t really like the idea of just “looking the other way” there.

I can climb up there and check it out over the weekend... but the site manager is already aware and will keep an eye on it.

Here is a close-up result from my recent scaffold climbing:

Replacement is not a big deal – and “just looks the other way” is a perfect description of what happens.

What would you consider a reasonable amount for compensation in this case?

My site manager asked me for a figure, but I have no sense of what would be appropriate.

Thank you
