Loose Roof End Tiles
Hi, I have three queries based on the attached photos: 1. Is it normal for end tiles in a roof to be loose? 2. Does the puddle on the flat roof look concerning? 3. Should the felt be as visible under the ridge tiles? Thanks in advance

Pretty much decided SPC is the way to go for the kitchen floor. I have an ok sample in 'concrete', but it isn't really what I want, which is a warm, bronzie, coppery, Indian-slate colour.
