well im about to put a new roof on with fibre cement slate tiles , never done this before only ever done clay tiles,
any tips /tools for removing old slate tiles ?
my biggest concern is im removing the old lead valley which is the whole cause of a new roof, and replace it with a grp valley but at the bottom it runs about 3 tiles into next doors roof which also has one of them joining plastic strips running down which is inbetween my tiles and his.
whats the best way going about doing this . do i just install the valley all the way down ,leave the joining strip inbetween ?
would a 250mm gauge be ok for 600mmx300m tiles ?
the slates have the middle pre drilled holes but not ones for the rivets do i need to pre drill these ?
any help would really be grateful
