agree with your method, but lead straps after snow fall causes lead to bend
back after thaw,so use copper straps/tingles .and also always use copper
nails to fix slates ,these dont draw from the lathes like galv in hot
weather. that said,hands up ive done the same to save a trip to
jacksons,good work on the video mate,

Do you use decking under your roofs in the UK?
George Manser · September 10, 2014 at 2:15 PM
I always use the lead strap. mostly due to nail rot, the slate drops out in
bad weather.. If the roof is not lined . from inside the roof, make the
tingle long and turn it first ease the new slate through, pull it back up
into position with the long lead tingle, fix the end round a batton with a
nail. the other slates stop it moving about. I note some roofers on
the man made slates, dont use tingles, but just dab some sealer on the
under slate to fix it. It looks good as their is no tingle showing, but
after the sun expanded and contracted the roof a few had dropped. I
repaired their repair with a tingle. The sealer could cause a back up. as
you suggest. but man made slate roofs have a under felt, so you dont see
the bodge generally..

Yeah in my country we laugh at this technique. Nail with copper bib in rain
line last lot longer around here

Personally don’t like the lead strap method. I know its used all over, but
I still don’t like it. I tend to go for the copper straps or the hooks.
Still a good video though

Very good information – explains the process in detail and well narrated.
Excellent use of Photoshop to see what we can’t see behind the slates.

Hi, excellent informative video, short and concise. I watched this and the
setting gauge video, do you have one to show how to work out number of
tiles required gable to gable. Thinking of using tiles on large shed roof,
size not yet determined. Thanks for sharing skills.

Thanks

paul tennant · September 10, 2014 at 7:00 PM

the last slate he installed would be on the ground after our northeast USA
winter
RoanokeVARoofingRepairContractor · September 10, 2014 at 8:56 PM
I have not done many jobs with slate so thanks for the useful information.
Philip Houghton · September 10, 2014 at 9:15 PM
An excellent video. Now I feel ready to repair a slipped slate on the small
roof above my ground floor bay window!
ridiculouskilz · September 10, 2014 at 9:54 PM
Yeah I’ve seen this method to many times usually fixing them proper whether
you you have snow and ice it’s still cosmetically not that nice and it’s
guaranteed to fail
Sullivan Roofs · September 10, 2014 at 10:01 PM
