Slate Roof Installation Process

For a typical slate roof, our installation process would be as follows:

● Each piece of slate is individually graded and holed to suit the roof
● Copper or Colorbond eave gutters and down-pipes installed
● Sarking, which is a breathable membrane, is laid over the rafters
● Oregon roof battens are installed to suit roof pitch and size of slate
● Roof struck out - vertical perp lines creating a grid effect
● Copper or Colorbond valleys installed
● Slate installation begins and the slate tiles are fixed with copper clouts
● Soakers, back tray to wall abutments and chimneys installed.
