A couple of stone slates on my roof have slipped. I'm guessing expansion and contraction from the recent weather may have had something to do with it. They were both near a roof window so I have just leaned out and hauled them back into place.
What holds a stone slate in position? Tiles have little nibs, slate slates have nails but as far as I can see stone slates stay in place through friction and an inherent disbelief in the laws of gravity. In other words: having hauled them back into place, is there anything else I ought to do to make sure they stay put?
Thanks,
Nick
