Goss's Roofing Ready Reckoner: From Timberwork to Tiles

There are hundreds of pictures and clear explanations of the angles and best approach. Lifetime of experience is condensed in one book, so highly recommended for any DIY enthusiast too.

This was a gift for my partner and he said it was exactly what he wanted for his work, so well received present and full of useful information.

The most updated version of a manual that's been around for years - incredibly thorough as always, in keeping with current measurements and practices. Layout is exactly what it needs to be - simple and informative. A good manual that's an ideal reference to look towards, contains probably the answer you're going to need as it covers so much from correct joinery to decisions for roofing materials and also a decent level of 'why' explanations to actually learns something too. The new additions include installation of solar panels and a suppliers list in the back that is up to date with addresses as of 2016 - find this really useful as they've been researched and proven rather than trusting a google search. Overall, 'thorough' is a good word for it and it's well laid out, small enough to live in a work bag, as a certain reference to always have rather than trawling through a google search when you've forgotten an answer.

The same as another chap reviewed, 30 years ago I got the blue cover version and wore that out, 15 years ago I got the orange cover one and just now I got it for Kindle/my phone. It's paid for itself already. Fantastic book. I'm getting a bit old for roofing now though, it's fair to say this version will out last me.
