Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Mar 10, 2019 11:02 am Hi, I have a 3yo home and yesterday morning (no wind) heard a very loud noise from the roof to find a section of row tiles have slipped. I understand according to the building code only every second row has to be nailed or clipped. I didn't find any nails but saw some clips like this on the tops of some roof tiles. Just wondering how this clip on the top holds the tiles in place and if this is the standard practice that meets code.

You've had a bit of an uplift on the structure. Just replace/silicone up any broken tiles and have everything shoved back in place. Roofer decision re fixings will have been based on your wind-area. They've decided to use a minimum arrangement of spring-clips. It's just a normal house-maintenance matter. You don't need reports, tribunals, all that crap.

Re: Roof Clips 5Mar 10, 2019 12:36 pm I have called a Monier Roofer and he said for a house of 3 years old and in a low wind area especially if there hasn't been any major wind gusts etcs that I should definately call my builder as it is a structural defect under home warranty. He also said I should check the clips etc have been installed correctly even in a N1 or N2 wind classification area. If they havent been installed correctly I would have a tough time making an insurance claim. From what I have seen and been told roof clips are normally on the side of the tile on the overlap...that's why I don't know if that clip on the top does anything in regards to holding a roof tile in place and if it has been done properly. Redoing sections of roof tiles slipping is not maintenance. Re: Roof Clips 6Mar 10, 2019 3:26 pm The thing about this forum is that, so often, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The clips we are looking at in the photo are Head Lap Clips. In tiling, quite common, quick to use, quite effective. It's really the mass of the tile that keeps it all in place. And, look, it's all just a simple house maintenance moment for an owner. Folk like Swiss are so locked into the Australian's commissariat approach to solving problems that they'll have the poor old original poster hiring lawyers and having sleepless nights over zilch! My Lord, I'd hate to have sold Swiss a car, he'd be taking me to a tribunal when a headlamp blew!

What you are saying is for the OP to risk their life to re-tile a roof that is currently under warranty. And yes I expect to get what I paid for so if my car breaks down under warranty despite being well maintained, then I expect it to be fixed. It's called consumer law. We live in a first world country with high levels of consumer protection. Next time you build a house, call me and I will just take your life savings and give you a pile of rubbish because that is what expect everyone else to accept. Building Standards; Getting It Right! Also an expansion joint. It will probably be better to silicon it? What I don't like is that joints between panels are not properly rendered and look ugly. 1 24725 Thank you Pulse, I thought we did the right things; external shutters on all windows down all day, west side of the house nearly completely in the shadow of the large two… 6 24986 2 7803 |
