I'm looking at doing an in-roof system on a slate roof which is a re-roof. So, I'm wondering if anyone has done this and can offer any advice? I'm yet to talk to my roofers but currently thinking about possible gotchas with thin slate around in-roof frame.

In the end I had about a 300mm gap between each row and...
