In this satisfying video Will takes you on the journey of a complete SLATE RE-ROOF FROM START TO FINISH. He talks about a roofers nightmare dealing with spray foam insulation when you are stripping felt and lath and runs you through what he will be doing on this job, stripping roof tiles, laying roofing felt, fixing roofing battens, laying slates, roof step flashing, roof re-pointing and much more. He will be using his trusty slaters hammer for stripping roof slate and we then go in search of reclaimed roof slate to find the perfect match to the existing ones. After doing one side as far as laying the lead soakers, Will moves on to the lead valley installation where he first of all lays a lead membrane to stop lead sweating, before fitting lead valley and showing you how to dress roof lead for that perfect fit. He then looks at fitting the lead cover flashing detail before tackling the chimney step flashing and the lead back box. He uses his Hilti 4" grinder in the process and to finish off is pointing step flashing. The final part this slate roofing job is to tackle the slate roof turret, fixing ridge tiles and then the important terracotta roof finial. Another job done!!

PLEASE NOTE: we’ll endeavour to answer questions and comments as soon as possible depending on our work schedules.
