Storm Eunice - Red Warning.

I got off lightly. One ridge tile blown off the roof. The whole roof was done 18 months ago & the ridge tiles appear to be clipped on rather than cemented down.
It's sat 1/2 way down the roof. Hope it stays there as risk it could come off & through velux window below.

Hi Jof get yer ladder out only joking i hope it stays there for you

I'm not going up a ladder at the moment.
I don't want to go out like Rod Hull
Fair dues to the roofing company, they will come on Monday, we got priority as it's one of their recent ones

Hi Jof I am not 100% sure but I think building regs nowadays only ask for a portion of tiles to be even nailed/fastened, I think it is about 1 third of the roof from the top then the rest of the tiles just slot in and do not have to be fastened.
One of the members will be able to answer this better than me

Our main road A590 is closed due to an overturned wagon it's made getting to the next town to buy tonight's beers and snacks a right pain in the **** but we have made it.
(nothing comes between me and my Old Peculier on a Friday night)
Getting home may take a while as all the narrow side roads are moving slow due to all the extra traffic

Yes, we have lost a ridge tile too. it actually came down and smashed on the floor a few yards from the car. I’m hoping that like for like replacements are still available and I don’t have to replace the lot!
