Should there be tiles in between two adjoining sections of my roof?

Question

Hi my question relates to a new roof I have just put on. It’s a fairly large roof and it’s split up into two sections. In between the two sides there is a dipped section which is almost flat. The roofer hasn’t put tiles on this section as the water drains towards the gutters. But should he have put some tiles here as this section is practically flat and will collect rainwater almost certainly? Should he have added tiles here and made a ridge?

Kev · Answer

Yes I would say he should of put tiles on this section and a bit of a pitch on it so it doesn’t hold water and a ridge on it

It's always difficult to answer questions like this without pictures but there are a lot of cowboy roofers out there as its the only trade you don't need a qualification for but from what your saying it does sound like yes there should be some tiles and ridges, are you able to get some pictures.

He’s likely put a bonding gutter in between any photos to be able to confirm?

Kameron · Answer

it is very hard to give a correct solution to the question asked without having some sort of pictures to go off, but if this is a flat roof there has to be some sort of run so that the water does not puddle and cause water ingress in the party walls

Zac · Answer

No there should be what u call a separation tray all the way down the gap side

Charles · Answer

It’s very hard to comment on this answer without fully looking at the roof in question. Again as others have mentioned it’s a very unregulated trade and reviews and previous work should always be seen before hiring a roofer
