mreinor Posted September 21, 2024 Share Posted September 21, 2024 I have a small lean to roof which I'm removing the existing corrugated covering from. Next door it's slates which extend about a foot under the covering, so I assume that someone just added the corrugated covering at some point for whatever reason. When I put the new slates on, how should these be tied in with the neighbouring slates? Will it need a jointing gutter, or can I just continue the existing slates into the new ones (which are the same 500x250 size).

stu w Posted September 21, 2024 Share Posted September 21, 2024 As you say a bonding gutter can be used. Or speak to your neighbour and take a couple of rows of slate off their roof , felt abd batten it overlapping into the original roof and tie it all in properly. Just be aware the corrugated sheets could possibly be asbestos. A simple sample test will confirm this either way for about £30/35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sorted then . Personally I would try and blend it in with your neighbours, a better job long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
