I was wondering if anyone could let me know what the correct sand cement ratio should be for setting hip capping tiles. If you want to know the background to this see the 'roofing nightmare' thread.
I have a photograph of two sacks of similar size, one almost empty containing sand and another almost full containing cement left by the roofers who recently did some work on my property. These sacks suggest that the roofers used a mixture of *at least* ten parts sand to one part cement.
Does anyone have any ideas of what the implications of this might be? How good could this information be in negotiating a discount from the quote?
Thanks,
