Technical advice on roofing


A little bit of info regarding water damage on tiled roofs. One thing that any contractor must look at is to start off to determine if the specific roof is build according to building regulations. Just a small hint, you can not fit a concrete tiled roof on less than 17º. If a roof is between 17º & 25º, then it is mandatory to fit under tile sheeting. If the roof is above 26º, then under tile sheeting is recommended. You need to have a roof expert looking at your roof to determine what the problem is. There is a lot of different spesifications to a roof to make sure your roof is in  top condition.
