What will I need for new build work?

[telectrix]

Masonry screws, no pre-drilling and plugs required if it all goes well, but have some plugs and screws as well just in case: DFM425050P | DeWALT Masonry Anchor | RS Components - https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/masonry-plugs-anchors-fixings/1893142/?cm_mmc=UK-PLA-DS3A-_-google-_-PLA_UK_EN_Fasteners_%26_Fixings_Whoop-_-Masonry+Plugs+%26+Anchors+%26+Fixings_Whoop-_-1893142&matchtype=&aud-826607888587la-311545642062&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvYSEBhDjARIsAJMn0lhhoe4njvRBGETCzZTik13SPeSmyfR8RoPaCqDpim10H9HkqHlWYIQaAq3kEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Compared to Wall Plug, Screw, Masonry bit, and three operations instead of one, and I am sure they can be found cheaper.

I should think they will last just long enough for the property to be sold. ?

Don't forget the ability to leave 18 inches of single insulated cores free at each light fitting so that we can tell its original new build wiring and not a DIY addition....?

still come across them nails, been in there for 70 years . tight as a duck's arse.

 

[Mike Johnson]

I don't think ring shanked galvanised roofing nails have been around that long. ?

 

[telectrix]

nah. they were realmen then. used plain shanked nails, but then wood was wood them days, not weetabix or MDF ( mindless dross faux)

My house in Kent has Ket Pegs which as the name suggests the tiles are held on with Oak pegs, in France most older houses rely on friction, they don't fix them, I think its a job creation scheme, come every winter most people with old farm house's have to have roof work done.

You still need to drill masonry for those screws - it states as much in the description.
