Slates need replacing - advice?

[leakypipe]

Hello,

My roof requires around 4 slates (thin grey) to be replaced. I have noticed patches of daylight coming through in my attic, and I don't want the rain to create further damage.

How much should I look to pay a roofer to do this job? And, is this something that a competent DIY person can do?

Thanks.

Dave.

There is no `fair price' to pay as such, it depends on multiple factors.

It can be done as a DIY project assuming competence on ladders etc.

There are various methods for fixing the slates whether it be with a tingle or proprietary clips (these will prob be best for DIY and look better afterwards being hidden)

Hi

Seeing daylight through a slate roof is not an uncommon event, and unless you have rainwater entering the loft or you have slates missing you need do nothing at this time.

Regards
