A video all about Brazilian Roofing Slate.

An instructional video about working with Brazilian Roofing Slate.

Independent Slate Supplies has teamed up with Alan Lander of Rooftrain (CITB Trainer, Assessor and IV) for a series of short educational video guides. This series of short educational guides are available in chronological order and incorporate the planning stage of a roof through to its completion.

With nearly 100 years of experience between them, Steve and Alan have accumulated a vast knowledge of roofing techniques and roofing products, so for those wanting to improve their own understanding, these videos will be worth watching.

These videos have been designed to help when slating a roof, but should not be relied upon and you should seek your own independent advice when slating a roof.

• Laying Out

• Setting Out

• Fixing with nails
