Hi
Apologies if I have worded this badly - I have been asked to write this by a builder friend.
We own an upstairs apartment and want to have our roof redone as it leaked badly last Winter. An english builder friend of ours had a holiday in our place recently and has offered to do it for us, in UK style. I assume nobody would mind ie Beldiye, local roofers, so long as all we are doing is lifting then replacing the roof tiles? If it would cause a problem, we will use a local tradesman.
We wondered why the roof tiles are built on metal rather than using wood as in the UK - is it a cost issue or lack of availability of materials or something else - does anyone know the answer??
If we were to have our roof upgraded in UK style, does anyone know if and where the following would be available to buy - 100x50mm timber in 4.8m lengths and 150 or 175 x 50mm in 4.8m lengths (preferably treated) ,claw hammer, additional roof tiles and hire of a disc cutter for the tiles.
Any advice would be appreciated
