Where you the guy I helped find this for on reddit? 😂

They are slates, just not natural.

It's not, it's cement fibre.

Could be potential cost difference, I'd ask the roofer to give you a new breakdown of costs.

What is the size of natural slates specified v the artificial ones?

It's a Delta tile, they don't make them anymore but you can find them online on gumtree,fb marketplace etc.

It's definitely not a marley tile, your best bet is contacting a reclamation yard and providing them photos.

The lead goes directly on top of the building paper.

Chinese are awful, same as Brazilian in my opinion. Good quality Spanish like cupa H3's are extremely good.

Why would you use hallhooks on a cement fibre slate repair? That's what the copper rivets are for.

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.

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.

Need a good quality ripper if that's the case. My one is fine at taking out brand new coppers.

They are having metal installed, you can see it on the neighbors roof.

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.
