On the end of the apex we have opted to use these plastic shields to help prevent water damage to the mortar that the tiles are bedded down on. Whilst up close they might not look to great, they do make the finished roof line look smarter in our opinion.
The front roof just needs some final tiles around the roof above the main window. Steve the builder believes we should have enough tiles, I trusted him about the bricks a while back and he was right, so I trust him again with the tiles.
It is getting to the point of needing to do something with the satellite dish again, we seem to be getting a poor signal these days, but we think that might be because someone has built an extension roof near by. Its currently sitting on top of the scaffolding and will be moved to the gable end wall with the cables being run inside the roof rather than externally on the wall.
Whilst the costs and therefore decision were unknown the ridge tiles have not been laid yet as we would have needed to take them up again to install the light units. This isn't that obvious in the photos but when taking a closer look at the roof line, there is a drop about half way where the old and new meet. This will eventually be a straight line all the way across.
