Householder's speak for builder & roofer's speak

How would you translate the phrase, "To remove 10 x 6 roof tiles above area were [sic] leak is showing,"

It relates to an investment property owned by my wife which is rented out through a letting agency.


Thanks.

  • To me, ten by six, even old imperial inches, seems small for a tile. It may be approximately the visible area but bear in mind a tile is well over twice its visible size when fitted, due to the considerable overlapping. I think he probably meant and area comprising ten tiles by six, i.e. 60 tiles.


    You would be surprised to find how many people cannot multiply by ten. I've seen people get out a pocket calculator to do it.
