Slate and a half in valleys, advice needed.
nod replied to bluebellcottage's topic in Roofing, Tiling & Slating
We slated our first As real beginners My wife and myself slated our recent build 50 degree roof four valleys like yours and four ten meter valleys The only difference is that I bought an auto cutter from the US Works like tin shears No more marking the slates on the back Leaves perfect riven edge Probably not use it again But 200 quid well spent -

The key to our low £ / square metre cost was building slowly doing a lot of the work ourselves to save labour, and careful buying of everything. Great advise Fast =£££ Lots of labour that we can all do Buying materials There can be a massive difference in costs of exactly the same materials Suppliers have got used to us excepting that things cost more due to inflation Un less you are governed by planning I would consider 1.5 floors £1300 m2 is definitely doable if you consider all of the above To add Try and get a plot that is reasonably straight forward No overhead cables Flat as possible Reasonably near to utility Conections and and some means of run off for tip water and discharge from Treatment Plant Jeep professional fees as low as possible

If it’s for the builders they won’t expect hot water It tends to be only the large commercial sites that have hot water and clean loos -
Your builder may be a good builder But he’s clueless about K Rend Sand and cement and through coloured renders don’t mix All the renders come with the own backing coat I use Age-cide for staining Quick spray and the rain does the rest

Probably to late now but I would have done the soaker wider to cover the joint But it’s unlikely the water will travel sideways -
