Tile cutting is carried out by using pincers or a tile cutter designed to suit the tile material. All tiles should be cut cleanly and to suit the angle of the roof. Hip tiles should be cut to the centre of the hip rafter, there should be no more than a 13 mm gap between the starting and finishing sides of the hip. To hold the cut tiles on the hip level with the full tile it is necessary to drive a nail of sufficient length into the hip rafter, then bend the nail under the cut tile to hold the cut tile level with the full tile. Valley tiles should be cut no wider that 75 mm between the two planes of the roof. The tiles should overhang the valley gutter by no less than 100 mm.
