I miss humping buckets of gobbo up and spending an extra day replacing cracked tiles and cleaning the roof off after it pissed it down when you were halfway home
Have you tried laying out the ridge roll with a bit of wind and when the tiles/slates are wet? It's an absolute nightmare, so I suggest using a dry fix system that does not require using the ridge roll and messing around with those straps.
I have had this installed and wish I had not because it as not only is my House cold they have messed up everything else that needed to be done, I have tried to get another roofer in as I do not want these people back, I would rather it all be done properly but as I am finding out, no one wants to even give an estimate to make it right. If I was not disabled I'd go up and take a look myself........

@@BMIRedland well my roof needs to be put right and unfortunately I have had roofers either letting me down in giving estimates or even getting someone prepared to do it. So yes I may come back to you with your offer of help.
Hi there, Thank you for your comment, the system is built to protect from any water getting in by the ridge and the ridge seal. Please feel free to get in touch with our team for further support: redland.co.uk/contact-us We hope this helps!
My roofer has used your system on a centreline dormer ridge, where the tiles lie flat either side of the ridge tile and on roof quarter ridges where the tiles are stepped either side of the ridge. There are open gaps where the roll has failed to adhere properly to the stepped tiles, allowing water to ingress and rot the battens. Unless properly sealed this is a poor solution in these circumstances.
Dont know why you leave the felt short. Its breathable membrane, the whole roof space gets vented without the need to vent through the ridge. Or is this another example of a designer trying to be to clever. Other than that these systems are a great idea. Less chance to stain a roof tiles that are damp and slippery.
