Yes, to removed existing tiles put foil+zinc with some timber work for support then put back the roof tiles and patched all joints.

Bang, have you completed the roof work? How much was final cost and can you share the contacts, please.

Im in pretty much the same predicament, and sourcing for contractor to either replace my roof or repair with zinc.

Dah sakit kepala dah...its really costly to change the entire roof (40-45k, subang area)and still not sure if future leaks. I think most likely batten problem, bot most of them would want to make money right, climbing the roof and doing a small job is not cost effective for them, hence most recommend to change a larger potion.

Prior to this I have also made could of minor repairing using foreign contractor, but nothing lasts. Tkasih!

You sure is 45k just for changing roof tiles ? No other work involve ?

1 roof tile cost about 2.50 per piece. If workmanship is also 2.50 ... total 5.00.

2,000 pcs x 5 = 10k.

Its including minor wood and gutter replacement and side wall metal sheet(sorry forgot whats it called).

yeah I think its expensive as well

With current rainy season put on hold. Btw what is your roof size? 40k is rather high.

From my previous callings of multiple repairers over the las 7yrs or so, I dont think its roof issue its just the batten problem.

But I guess trying to fix just the batten is ot cost effective hence they suggest to a bigger replacement/project.

Some suggested to place aluzin sheet at the bottom and then place the current tiles on top of it. Finding where the leaking is not feasible it seems, do agree with this as well, its ot easy to find out the leak.

BTW, 7 yrs ago I had placed Aluminium Foil thruout my roof but it started to leak again, only during dec/jan when the rain is heavy and windy. ANd over the years been calling so may others and all failed depite paying so much. It only drips during really heavy-windy period, tapi leceh la, everytime need to run and get a bucket and ceiling all gets stained.

And during these repairs, those technicians had to cut open the alu foil to troubleshoot where the leak is, hence on some location these foils are cut open as well bangwall.gif

BTW build size is 1800sqft. My hubby is in suggestion replacing the tiles, but I dont think thats the issue cry.gif if its the tiles, i would have more leaks but it seems only the joints and roof merger location and wall.

If you could throw any ideas/suggestion will be good. notworthy.gif Any repairer contact as well. Tkasih

maybe will drag in ceo684 sis as well wub.gif
