Plastic flashing then ridge screwed down with a screw similar to what cladding is fastened with clip in-between ridges quicker easier and cleaner than  sand cement I used to hate laying ridges when I was younger that and plain tiles lol 

Haha I knew that mate, it just doesn't look right too much space ffom ridge to tile, mortar all the way

To be fair then bits a rubber on the screws will fail well before mortar i always though birds can't get in but I once was on a job 4 block houses and the old boy I was with put the batten that they screwed to on with wrong nails abot 2 inch short lol the full lot was in the road  the next day still screwed to the wood lol and the c**t tried blaming me

What's underneath those hip ridges to stop the water getting in? 

I’m not too sure mate I never really done it. My best mates a roofer so he done it but from what I could see it’s like plastic or rubbery strands look a bit like mop strands. It’s the new thing now dry ridges apparently but deffo looks betterAtb Igz

That’s the way I like to do it, i don’t want to be rich, I’m not a fan of holidays etc, not fussed with expensive cars, as long as I’m comfortable that’ll do me. Life only happens once, f**k spending 60hrs a week grafting, bank balance will look tidy but fast forward 40 years to retirement & you won’t have many memories to look back on. 

That's one of the reasons i went down the pit at 19 always had time for the dogs and the NCB were not on your case if you knocked the odd shift witch i did often if i was on nights and the wind was howling as a night lamping or roosting was a lot more appealing than a coal face .Looking back on old photos and memory's i am glad i did.
