SLATE ROOFING
Tally Slating
Each slate is the same size, they are laid in courses from the eaves to the ridge on a roof. An under eaves course forms the starting point, usually supported by a proprietary plastic eaves tray. Each slate should be twice nailed using copper nails. Wider slates should be used at abutments and verges where appropriate to minimise the cuts which cannot be securely fastened. When such a roof covering has been installed the slates should sit flat and the perpendicular lines formed should be straight from eaves to the apex.

Diminishing Course Slating
Slating in diminishing courses and random widths is a traditional way of installing roof coverings. Often seen when using Burlington or Westmorland slates. Large slate courses are placed towards the eve of the roof, the size of slates then diminishes towards the ridge. The slates are all random in size and it is important to consider minimum side laps swell as head lap.
