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. However, this practical volume, written by an expert with a vast experience of teaching roof tiling and slating to both apprentices and experienced roofers, rejects this cautious approach.
About the Author: Kevin Taylor has been involved with slating and roof tiling for all of his working life and, for over twenty-five years, has gained experience in many different aspects of the roofing industry. Kevin now works for the National Federation of Roofing Contractors as a Technical Manager, a role that involves presenting technical advice, providing education and training for young roofers as well as organizing skills competitions.
