Rescuing Roof Tiles

LoTwan

I am demolishing a house that was roofed in the 50's (in one day by a team of brothers). The roof tiles are in tact and I would like to save (and ultimately sell) them. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about this?

The image attached is them as they are at the moment.

LoTwan,
I did this late last year on my own place.
On the assumption;) that you will have scaffold, it is very easy and quick to do.
The tiles should just lift, then slide down to man on scaffold, have a "slide" jig set up and slide down to man on ground and simply store on pallets ready for sale. You wil have breakages but try keep it to a minimum by careful handling:D

Ah yes, all the more reason for buying scaffold rather than renting it

Out of interest who did you sell them to?

Take them off. one by one.
It's hardly complicated, esp when compared to demolishing a house yourself.
