      The trouble is these old guys are whats left of the old tradesman, true craftsmen. They can work with proper materials. When those people were made they broke the molds soon after.
      Nowadays it's mostly prefabricated crap that will be past its best before 20 years is up and the so called new made builders would have been to a weeks training course on how to be a brickie, sparx, plumber or roofer.

      The bond on the exisiting roof is not great and on the new bits they managed to keep it there or thereabouts. If you look carefully you will see where he altered that course to bring it back. They sifted through the tiles to find the wider and the narrower.

On a 45 degree pitch the creep is negligible so you can get away with a 1/4 bond but it is amazing how quickly it runs out with those hand made tiles. Mark says they were made by women but I think a lot were made by childen, hence the small hand prints.

      4 Englishlies
      We tend to use the breather membrane and then the battens in England and Wales but in Scotland they go for the OSB a bit more. There are thousands of roofs that are hundreds of years old in England and they were just tiles on battens with not membrane. This made them as draughty as anything but they took forever to rot.
      While we are on the subject of differences I was amazed by the way you use felt shingles on USA roofs. even on expensive houses. We are looking for a roof to last 100 years or more.

    What happens if water gets in under the clay tiles and sits between the membrane and the tiles - does the timber rot?

      Leaving a slight sag in the felt allows water to trickle down under the battens down into the gutter, shouldn't come to it with enough head and side lap. The battens will rot and the nails will corrode potentially causing the course of tiles to drop and giving in all together in time, on felt it gives you weather zones as seen on the video, higher zones from 1-5 require a certain membrane to deal with the elements.

      I think this might be why some roofers use counter battons?
