Howdy everyone, I thought I would

Howdy everyone, I thought I would create a peice to help you replace a tile/slate on the house roof. The first step is to ensure you have all the correct equipment for the task, this is as follows:

1 x Ladder

1 x Roof Ladder

one x Slate Ripper

1 times Hammer

1 x lead Band

You will also need a few nails including a replacement slate/tile. If you're unsure of which one it is you can take the shattered one down to your local roofing items yard and they will find one for you. Otherwise you can take a picture on your phone of your respective roof tiles and show them that.

The first step to replacing the tile is to put up your ladder inside the correct area; when you place the ladder against the house wall, ensure that it truly is stable. If the ladder is slippy you can tie a tie tie around the ladder and guttering to stop it from falling.

The next step is set the roof ladder on the roof; ensure that you keep the ladder in the correct place and so the weight is distributed evenly and this sits comfortably on your shoulder. Subsequently carry the ladder up the roof plus hook it over the ridge tiles, to ensure it is safely attached take slightly on the ladder. Never jump on it without testing it.

Consequently get your slate ripper and hammer and position yourself on the roof corporate next to the slate. To get the busted slate out, you have to position the hook on the slate ripper round the back of the nails on the slate. Once you have hooked it use the hammer to hit the slate ripper and the nails will come out.

Once the standing is out you then need the lead strap a nail and your hammer, the place that the slate has been removed a hardwood lat will be present. You need to connect the lead strap to the lat. The strap needs to be 2 inch below the slates that are parallel nice service to the outdated tile.

Once this has been done you are able to push the new tile into the host to the old tile, then fold the lead strap back over the top of it. This may keep it in place. Then take down the particular ladders and the repair is accomplish. I would advise you to have a friend existing when you conduct a repair on the roof. It is a dangerous job and something you shouldn't carry out on your own.
