can someone advise me the best way of removing odd size slates from a end terrace & felt & batten then put back the origional slates , thanks rob
Thanks you for the post.first off remove slates , then dress/re-cut i tend to do all the tails of the slates re/hole any that need new holes and cut off unsightly holes like big looking ones, Make a size stick easy way is put a nail through a piece of tile batten an inch down from the top, from the nail mark down 11 inchs then going either way from the 11 mark half inch intervals you then number these the rule being an 11 inch slate is always an 11 so a 12 is 11 and a half a 13 is 12 inch etc. once you've made the size stick size the says slates its better sizing in half inchs as this will give you much more accurate sizing and allow you to get more cover out the slates you have and sizes you have that aren't enough for a course you mix into another size and the purpose of the nail is you then put that in the head nail of the slate and where the tail lands on your size stick is the size of the slate
