Saint,

How did you find working on a slate roof? Did you rip slates and attach anchors direct to rafters? That was how I was taught but I've seen demos on youtube of large installation companies drilling directly through the slate, placing neoprene between the anchor and slate, and then screwing the anchor through the slate to the rafter.

The jobs I have worked on so far have been on tile roofs so far, interested to hear your experience of working on slate.

Cheers
 
Think i've seen that video on You Tube. I used hanger bolts and drilled through the slates. i dont like the slate anchors in the video. More holes and when you screw them down they put a lot of pressure in the tiles.
