We've got this old chapel

I looked into having all the slates taken off and replaced on a small
Cumbrian cottage roof a few years ago. The quote was £15,000 which
included an allowance for breakage and replacement.

As I was going to do the structural repair myself it sounded expensive,
so I didn't buy the place. Glad I didn't - horrible neighbours

On the other hand a chap I know just came to replace five broken thick
Honister green slates today and he only changed me £30, which included
the new slates and his time.
