Hello everyone, I'm about to embark on my biggest project ever. Replacing the slate roof on the front elevation of my house. Several houses in my street have had the slate roof replaced with a product called "everlast composite tiles". I have put the replacement off for two years but due to some storm damage a couple of months ago I cant put it off for another winter. My question is it really a DIY job? Its a pitched roof in line with everyone else's in my terraced street. Technically is think it is very simple, Day one - pull the old stuff off, ridge tiles then work down the roof removing the slates and latts. Put the felt on replace the latts. Day two - replace the slates. Day three - replace ridge tiles and do the lead flashing stuff. Sounds easy. The scaffolding is up so I'm ready to start next weekend as its a bank holiday, materials on order and as a back up my local builders merchant is open all next weekend till 2:00pm
Have I over committed myself, can I do it ? Should I do it ? Have you ever done it ? if so what are the problems I'm lightly to experaince.
Regards David
