i have just had a contractor replace the old low pitch roof tiles with redland 49, there is an underlay but the water has made it onto the kitchen ceiling. I was aware the underlay had some holes and tears through it but i did not expect the water to come onto the underlay. there are no visible cracks on the redland tiles and they appear to have been fitted inline, unable to notice any obivious mistakes on the tilings. The gap verge however has mortar cemented in , and the tiles on the edge has to be cut but the leak in the middle of the roof was i thought impossible. after some advise on the possible sources of leaks and anything else you can suggest, please. the contractor has agreed to come back but i dont want repeated visits so would like to run pass whatever advise i get from you here.
