(I've got safe access to the roof from the outside, none from the

Genuine slates are very cheap, I cant see any point pathcing with
anything else, unless you're truly brassic. If so, patches of roofing
felt would do for a while.

For once i totally agree reclaimed slates are only £1 each from most
reclamation yards, madness to use anything else.

they're £2 each at Leominster.

Even at £2 it's worth it, unless you trying to patch something the size of
Sarah Beenys new gaff.
