A course of Red A course of White Shouid look well I do plenty of these Ray, there hard graft buddy fairplay, your lucky you've flat tiles an not rolling tiles would took ye twice as long. I wouldn't advise on pw the roof though, it takes the outer layer of the tiles, weakens it, an make it very porus. Go get yourself some hypo, mix it appropriately, an use a water can an drown the roof in it. Before you do that tho, drench the roof an surrounding areas, grass plants, beds, with water so they'll be full when your applying the hypo. Once again good job 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check out Kingfisher Products online. Yeah max they look brand new because you've taken the outer layer of the tile, much like when you buff a layer of a car, it looks brand new, but it's been weakened, an therefore it's easier for the elements to wear down the tile faster mate.
