Brother you dont realise how good your little tips are. Well done

Thank you! My parents roof has a few leaks. Getting up there on the weekend to check, so will take a few spare tiles up with me incase there are cracked ones.

Amazing content mate. This type of video in a quick, informative manner with no bs really helps my brain. I've learnt heaps from your channel, though I wish I saw this video a few years ago when I tried to work it out for myself!

[ihewer]

Thanks again mate for putting these videos out

A point to consider for people unfamiliar with tile roofs is that you will come across tiles that are clipped or in older roofs nailed at the very top, these take a bit more patience especially the nailed into hardwood batons ones! So take a flathead screwdriver, hammer small prybar and even some small blocks of wood as wedges with you😊

Thank you, Sir! another very informative video Bill. Cheers mate.

Onya Bill, no mucking about. That would be a 20 minute video on other channels.

Great video, to the point. Could you also show us bow to do the one that is nailed by batten please.

[jackdawg]

cheers Bill, how about showing us where we should be walking on tile or tin roofs, any areas we should avoid etc

Hi Bill, Really admire your videos.
Can you do a video tutorial for repointing ridges. Thanks

Any advice for someone using a roof anchor and harness? What if the tiles are nailed down every row? Just trying to find the easiest way to get to the truss for a roof anchor point without disturbibf the tiles too much or playing around with replacing tiles etc

[themostar]

Thanks Bill. I have similar roof tiles. Are you going to do the restoration? If so would love to see the process. Also repair of facia, resealing gutters would be of great help!

[jetng]

Thanks Bill! Great video as always. Is it possible to just silicone the cracked piece back together rather than replacing the whole tile?

[craigmonty]

Hey Bill, you ever done any vids on installing channel drains in the yard? With all the rain in NSW these days thats on my to-do-list this season.

[TheRealMrCods]

Our tiles are wired down (I know because I had to do this) but you made it look easy with those 👍

[spangas]

Great video mate. Where is the best place to buy replacement roof tiles?

[Ressy]

nice seems easy, hrmmm, when you're pulling the top tiles back down, whats to stop them coming, wel, out :) is there a tiny lip or somthing that stops you pulling them too far down? Cheers Bill

[commanderkeen]

In some cases, if the roof tile is cracked, can you just seal it up with an appropriate silicone?

Just be careful as some old tiles have asbestos in them.

My wife and I are temporarily living in her deceased fathers house and the roof situation is horrendous. Broken tiles, whole rows slipped, dodgy waterproofing jobs apparently random bits of tin weighed down by bricks... It doesn't seem to end.
