i’m getting a slate roof put on my new extension and notice that a small handful (maybe 5 to 10) of slates appear to be damaged, either sections at the corners or split longitudinally down the middle. I raised this with the roofer and he says it’s typically unavoidable when when fitting but should not cause any problems as there’s a membrane below the slates which prevents water getting in. Is it ok to accept this or get him to repair it? Thing is a few are at the first few bottom rows so not sure how easy they would be to replace.

You just need to find a roofer and not some moron.
