I have an existing electrical socket installed on the tiles, and now i want to add more sockets beside the existing one, is it possible to add the new sockets without removing the existing tiles? like cut a whole to fit the socket on the tiles that has already installed on the wall?

Unlikely, if you open up the existing socket you'll notice that the socket fitting needs a pretty large recess, meaning you'll still have to dig deep. The digging part is likely to damage your existing tile.Also, you'll need to be aware that if you loop the existing wire, you're spreading the load. Be mindful if you use high wattage appliances, it may cause an overload. |

There will be some leaking issue if the installed roof tiles have minor crack. The minor crack will cause the roof tiles to crack in the long run due to the weather These are the disadvantages. But there are also advantages of roof tiles. Actually is depend on u whether which one u prefer only. But IMHO the metal deck should be less maintenance in the future. |

Unless properly constructed (almost never), high chance of ponding (above) and leak (below). Waterproofing treatment on flat roof don't last forever either. the extension will occupy by 4G kitchen cabinet though Even slanted roof with insufficient gradient can have roof-leak issues. But if your builder is really good, anything goes. |
