    If you had a roof replacement on a conservatory.....

    And one of the walls made the roof not square....

    Should the tiles follow the gutter or the top of the roof like in the picture below.

    If you follow the gutter it would look wonky....

    Which is right?

    Some people say follow the gutter some people say the top[​IMG]

    The ridge course of the roof has to be level. Picture looks ok, although it is sideways.

    Sorry about pic. It's what I scribbled but couldn't rotate it.

    So in that sense if it followed the gutter and ended up looking lopsided that wouldn't be good to do?

    The tiles need to follow the ridge line and taper down to the gutter. You wouldn't tile a roof lopsided.
