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

  Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes. In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work. I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

  While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

  I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place. Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week. Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

  I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
