Also unsafe around the loose fruit and veg in Tesco's as well, presumably?

What are you using for the pantiles - the special card strips? It's a bit more expensive, but Charlie Foxtrot sells resin pantile roofs for their Peninsula range - I'm sure at least one of the square ones would fit that building.
Card ones from Warbases. Not confident cutting resin, it’s very brittle

No, the resin doesn't need cutting, it's a preformed roof - like the bottom two on this page:-

I know, but that roof is a rectangle whereas the ones on the Limes Tower are triangles

Not sure what you mean by that - are you looking at the roofs on the tower and the store?

It's from a model railway accessory company, not the Wills ones, these are larger and thinner plastic. I've got some in the stash. They're Pantiles, nominally for 20mm. I can't find the header card though! :fp:

EDIT: these guys do some https://modelbuilderssupply.com/ Image

It would be handy if they were in the UK. Pretty sure they had an outlet on eBay. Will do some tracking down.
