Stone Slate Roof

[dansk]

if its a concrete tile then you simply slide the tile up find your rafter feeling the felt . you use a stainless steel hanger that screws into rafter and the tile slides back down over it.

Cheers - this is yorkshire style stone roof about 20mm thick

you can get the hangers to be adjustable ive fitted the non adjustable ones before . you can adjust to thickness of tile and also adjust to level panels off. im not sure what you call them cos i dont order i just fit.

I know - dont fancy hanger bolts, i prefer to use hooks and flashing, i cant see this being a hard job. Always the same when your not 100% sure about something, but after the first few hooks the rest will fly on.

i youl be grand you know yourself once you get started its easy enough , some boys wouldnt touch it if they werent sure about it but to me if theres obstacles in front of you and you want the work youve just gotta find a way round them. if your beat before you start you may aswel stay in bed. cheers

This jobs going alright, the roof turned out to be fake stone, there massive concrete slates, held on with a single nail in the middle at the top. Once we got the first two rafters done we was onto it. The method we are doing is 2 rows of 8 in landscape, on the rafter we bolt to we are stripping the slates from the top to expose all the rafter then re-building from the bottom up with the hooks, flashing and slate. Only done 20 hooks and already used 12m code 3 @300mm wide. just going to buy another 2 rolls, this has cost approx £240 in total plus vat on its own, so in the future when the prices are leaner its something im not going to forget.

Will post pictures when its done.
