Couple of years ago I had to have a lead Valley replaced. I number the slates and managed to reuse 95% of what I had to take off so it worked out well. Plumber did the lead I did the slating.
Problem I had is where the ladder was sitting on its support feet a few slates were broken. So I had to carefully replace them at the end of the job my moving the ladder to the side and hoping I didn't break them. Luckily I got away with it.
The ladder I have is a LYTE trade roof ladder. I have since covered the feet in pipe insulation to try and help.
I now dread using it because I might damage the roof when I'm up doing some other job.
The roof is a Welsh slate roof nearly 90 years old.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
