Hi Steve,
A lot of the tiles are blown so not worth keeping, but one section in particular had good ones and these we've kept, to use for future repairs to barn and wood shed roofs which are tiled with tiles of the same pattern.
I bit the bullet on changing the roof, even though I had enough good tiles in store to replace the blown ones, as I realised that it'd never ne completely water tight, and that replacing frost damaged tiles every year on a high roof with a 45 degree pitch was something that I do not want to do as I get older. Hopefully the steel roof is a good solution. Time will tell.
As of the end of this afternoon the whole roof is stripped and Tyveked. I have only found one single batten that has any sign of rot, so good news for the integrity of the roof as a whole.
This weekend the gang is working to install battens in a completely flat and square pattern. It will then be measured and roofing sheets ordered.
