certainly against cement tiles.


I can't remember the prog but on one recent house buying
program the buyer had to pay for a strengthen roof

We've recently replaced our slates (looked like cheap
Spanish) with tiles more in keeping with the area (SW
France) and the builder put another big purlin ? each side
