Thanks des I would love to get more roofing and leadwork will try and teach myself lead burning/welding someday great money in that if you can master it cheers for the support hop your having a good weekend 👍👍

What do you call the tool you are using with your hammer?

@@dannyiwan7566 you get 2 types of slate hammer 1 that nails the slate in place,and holes the skate 2nd type is the type I'm using I know it as a German slate hammer this 1 nails the slate,holes the slate but also you can cut the slate with this 1 I just call the thing I'm cutting on a cutting iron might be known a a zax in some places or that's the proper name for the point on the slate hammer hope that helps m8 thanks for watching👍 the zax is the proper name for a slate hammer/knife tool just looked it up lol

DJI High Access Services it’s a break iron bud

Had no spare slate had to keep full length of slate it was a quick patch up job as guy is getting roof fully re slated

Cheers m8 desperate to do a roof from start to finish now probably wont get slating for quite some time but enjoyed the job while I was on it👍

Cheers m8 got say I loved doing that job a good change from plastering 👍👍

@@onpointplastering for sure mate :) a little change keeps the mind fresh

@@macplastering very true keeps you on your toes lol👍👍

Battens are required when the roofs open rafters or your using fiber cement slates also depends where you are working as down in England it's mostly open rafters in Scotland there is usually OSB board used for tiling and sarking when its slates I know it as a German slating hammer

@@onpointplastering great stuff

Cheers mate job was near balloch 20 miles from glasgow if you know that area

Gordon Mackie have you got a website or contact details ?

@@Anthony-ci8pu I just upload to get diffrent input from other people in the trade there's a few that look at the work I do and same with me and it's just to get pointers on doing it an easier,quicker or better way I'm not trying to promote myself if you know what I mean 👍

Believe me it has cover and I have no doubt about it

Where’s the cover ? It’s underneath the 2nd course abound it that’s where you get headlap and it less than 2 inch from the centre of the slate basically right in the water channel it’s a leak

@@deanbarber5576 making yourself look like you don't know how to work with slates that next slate fully covers the nail plenty of side lap and covet from slates I take it your not a roofer

Post some of your work up m8 always good to see other people's work

@@deanbarber5576 making yourself look very foolish 1.24 full slate over nail doesn't need anymore cover as that covers it by itself like a single lap tile god I really want to see your work now
