Our roof is going on at the moment.

Let me know if anyone wants a quote for shingle. The team we have here are great, and you are very welcome to come and visit our roof for yourselves. I will, of course, be taking lots of photos as we go along.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=50137#Comment_50137 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=50137#Comment_50137 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:22:13 +0000 leafbone Very nice forum.

Because of the fuel costs of transporting them from the west coast of Canada..., this doesn't make them nasty as such but certainly not exactly 'eco'

May not resolve Tom's original cost issue though.

I am looking to use shingles on a project in the south of England (Wiltshire), anyone know of any good places reasonably locally to source good quality durable shingles. The shingles are going to be used on a lean to roof, which only has a pitch of 16.5 degrees, so I am wondering if this will be a problem with using the shingles, I have read that you dont want to use oak shakes at a low pitch like this. The roof is protected from the south westerly weather by the building, so it wont be subjected to driving rain as such.

Also what sort of cost per m2 is one looking at for a shingle produced in the UK (preferably) or Europe? I dont want any from Canada, due to the transport and destruction of virgin forests. I looking to cover 201m2 with the shingle.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=138739#Comment_138739 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=138739#Comment_138739 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:31:32 +0000 Cav8andrew https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=138988#Comment_138988 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=138988#Comment_138988 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 18:38:02 +0000 finny https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=138993#Comment_138993 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=138993#Comment_138993 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 19:00:52 +0000 Cav8andrew https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=139127#Comment_139127 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=139127#Comment_139127 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 07:46:21 +0000 Julio https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=139128#Comment_139128 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=520&Focus=139128#Comment_139128 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:02:04 +0000 Cav8andrew
