yous are all ugly:tongue:

 

now ive got that out of the way, im after a bit of advice regarding slate roofs, we have just got a price from a roofer to supply and fit all the gear for a slate roof, he comes highly recomended and the price is great

 

now he has suggested we use a newish type of tile, it is a real slate but comes with pre driled holes

 

anyone had any experience with them, are they decent, we dont want those shitty plastc marley tiles

Best speaking to Bri - Znut mate :)

yeah i thought of that, actually i was suposed to put this in a opm to him

 

been a long hard week

ime here:tongue: ok...ask him 2 questions allan

1..are they chineese slate (dont laugh) because if they are you will be lucky to see 10 years out of em :nono:ile give you a example,a welsh slate new will cost you about £2-2.50 each, reclaimed welsh slate will cost about £1-£1.50 but you,ll be lucky to get a same batch so colour variation,a asian slate(chineese will cost you £0.95 so thats speaks for its self:wack. Now he could say its a spanish slate which arnt bad at all if you cant afford welsh but under no circumstances let him put a man made slate on your roof..its made by crushing slate to a powder and mixing it with resin to look like a natural product and aint worth a cats piss as after 3-5 years your roof will go a horrible grey colour so to sum it up ile put in order what i would have

1..new welsh

2..reclaimed welsh

3..spanish

4..man made

5..chineese hth;)

cheers for that bud, not sure what he called thewm, i think it began with an E, they are pre drilled

 

its costing about 3k more than if we were using the man made crap, he actually refused to put them on, and the ones he recomended came with a 30 year gaurentee

ide go for a small clay tile myself mate..9"x6":bow: nailed every 3rd course and its a 100 year roof at least

its actually on one of our properties at work, the guy knew his shit like, didnt bullshit us or anything, just gave us the recomendation and price and simply said give me a ring if you want it done, no hassle, no waffle, and he wasnt trying to sell himself

 

i like that, pity you were not closer bud, you would have prob got the job
