Hi there,

Has anyone ever used tile tint to make new roof tiles match the colour of older roof tiles? We have just had a dormer put in as part of a loft conversion but the tiles around the dormer do not match the roof tiles. Our Builder has said they will 'weather-in' and look like the rest of the roof in a year or two. I'm not convinced having read a few things online - can take up to 20 years for the tiles to weather in. Our existing tiles have weathered so much that they look a dark grey/black (originally they were dark brown). The dormer tiles are dark brown (concrete) and there is a clear difference.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this or the tile tint products?

Thanks,

Ellie

  You could try asking ChatGPT? It recently saved me hours when I was looking to see if I was on the cheapest energy tariff for my usage, and gave me other very useful relevant information.

  Yes it would be easier, and I give a lot to the hospice shops, but for various reasons there are certain things I prefer to give to Oxfam. However I might go through the books and see if some could be donated more locally. I think in any charity shop staffed by volunteers, the reception you get must depend on the member of staff. The Oxfam bookshop have always been very happy when I've taken shedloads of books there in the past. On the other hand, I've taken things to the hospice shop that were received very grumpily when they hadn't even looked in the bag or asked what they were. It felt like I was being a nuisance and causing them more work. I don't remember a previous thread on here about the Oxfam shop and parking, but that's possibly because it wasn't relevant to me at the time.

  The other side of P13 drivers being risk averse is that I have been on P13s at night that speeded (?sped?) down Underhill Road so fast I seriously thought they might crash.

  Some P13 drivers appear very risk averse. I live in Underhill and on that road drivers are forced to back away, often considerable distances, from buses to allow them to pass, even when the bus has an immediate space it could back into. The driver at the time said that buses 'weren't allowed to back'. So reports of cars 'blocking' P13s might mean simply that the car was legally parked but the road too narrow,or the bus driver not prepared to risk advancing. NB some P13 drivers are both skilled and courteous, but not all.
