Hello everyone,
Yesterday, I was shocked to find out that the roof tiles do not extend over the gutter.
Is this such a significant defect that I can request a complete re-roofing? I would prefer not to have the gap closed only with a metal flashing. That would be a visual disaster, especially when directly compared to the neighbor’s roof.

Isn't the brick on the right installed the wrong way around?What do you mean by that? The rather old brick belongs to the neighbor and has to remain as it is. Only my side is being renovated.Tassimat schrieb:

It’s simply not finished. Flashings need to be installed, the gutter joined, and then the last row of tiles put in place. Please keep us updated on how it progresses.
What do you mean by not finished? Of course, it’s not finished. But when it comes to the gutter, they had to align with the neighbor’s setup.
He probably has different tile dimensions than your tiles. So, I assume a transition flashing will be installed there. Another full row of tiles definitely won’t fit. I don’t think they will cut any tiles either. Therefore, a transition flashing remains the only solution. Take a photo of the entire joint area in daylight. It would be interesting to see how it looks in natural light.

And since I consider that obvious, there was no prior discussion about it. So far, I don’t see any technical reason why the tiles couldn’t have been laid further forward.I’m afraid they just started again without measuring properly. The motto seems to be “if it doesn’t fit, make it fit,” with an ugly drip edge.
I don’t understand it. The entire battens were redone. This should have been done much better.
A site meeting is unfortunately still pending.

The on-site meeting is still pending, unfortunately.Our concrete blocks have something like a tongue and groove joint—I’m not sure of the correct technical term—but they lock into each other from underneath. It’s probably the same with your bricks, which is why they can’t be extended. If he had installed them from bottom to top, you would have an even bigger problem now.Similar topics
