How much overlap is there on the soakers ? They are not looking quite right

its that time of year again... black mould next

its a Welsh slate and are reusable. you'll need reclamation to match in , or just do front in one and another slate at the back , New Welsh is out the question, then go for a Glendyne Canadian or a good Spanish ,we had the dubious pleasure of using most available international slates I've...

I've seen cement fibre slates fail in 12 years . There is the Glendyne alternative to Welsh and more economical . There are some decent Spanish too , as long as they are t1 s1,w1 then should be trouble free. Something like a cipa h12 are good and you can get a dite specific guarantee for up...

You have what appears to be the original back gutter and a newer apron . The back gutter should have been replaced looking at the state of it and definitely one piece
