Product Description
If you have never fixed a roof tile or slate before but have wondered how to go about repairing or replacing them, then this is the book for you. Many of the technical books about roof tiling and slating are rather vague and conveniently ignore some of the trickier problems and how they can be resolved. In Roof Tiling and Slating, the author rejects this cautious approach. Kevin Taylor uses both his extensive knowledge of the trade and his ability to explain the subject in easily understandable terms, to demonstrate how to carry out the work safely to a high standard, using tried and tested methods. This guide considers the various types of tiles, slates, and roofing materials on the market as well as their uses, how to estimate the required quantities, and where to buy them. It also discusses how to check and assess a roof and how to identify and rectify problems; describes how to efficiently "set out" roofs from small, simple jobs to larger and more complicated projects, thus making the work quicker, simpler, and neater; examines the correct and the incorrect ways of installing background materials such as underlay, battens, and valley liners; explains how to install interlocking tiles, plain tiles, and artificial and natural slates; covers both modern and traditional methods and skills, including cutting materials by hand without the assistance of power tools; and provides invaluable guidance on repairs and maintenance issues, and highlights common mistakes and how they can be avoided.

Roof Tiling and Slating: A Practical Guide Reviews
| 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Great Book, By Booker "Booker" (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews This review is from: Roof Tiling and Slating: A Practical Guide (Hardcover) The book is excellent. It helped me to install my home's clay roof tiles. Just as an advice, I suggest Santafe Clay roof tiles ( [...] ) because I installed them and had a great experience, including a 50 year warranty and green tile options. This book teaches A-Z all needed to do a perfect roofing or re-roofing. Highly recommended. |
