  1. It's a Delta tile, they don't make them anymore but you can find them online on gumtree,fb marketplace etc.
  2. It's definitely not a marley tile, your best bet is contacting a reclamation yard and providing them photos.
  3. The lead goes directly on top of the building paper.
  4. Chinese are awful, same as Brazilian in my opinion. Good quality Spanish like cupa H3's are extremely good.
  5. Why would you use hallhooks on a cement fibre slate repair? That's what the copper rivets are for.
  6. Yeah that's a lot of BS, we've had the same issues in Scotland with that felt. On slated roofs we don't have battens and it's still an issue. Just a cop out from them making a shitty product.
  7. I've got a carters one, roughneck ones are also decent. For slate hooks https://www.burtonroofing.co.uk/black-coated-80mm-spiked-slate-hook-316g.html You can get them in different sizes too.
  8. Need a good quality ripper if that's the case. My one is fine at taking out brand new coppers.
  9. I always remember a tax man speaking to my old man years ago and he suggest to tradesman not to mention VAT on quotes but just to include it. Says it puts most people off.
  10. You're not going to get them all uniform these days as I stated above mate, Redland use the excuse that they are handmade as a way out.
  11. The cement work looks extremely poor but honestly bonnets are awful right now. I done a job recently that had 500+ bonnets and every single one of them was different. We just had to sort through the batches to try and get it the closest we could. Redlands cop out was they are handmade so they will never be uniform.
  12. So it's solar on brackets I'm assuming? Ask the manufacturer of the tiles if they will guarantee their product with these because most don't.
  13. bassandclan already gave you the answer, it's got laps.
  14. Cement fibre slates are nailed then have a copper rivet fitter to stop them lifting. Hooks would be pointless.
