HI Gary, thanks for sharing. This is quite simply PURE SIMPLE GENIUS. I've been a landlord for 25 years and now have my own scaffold tower and do basic repairs myself. I've paid roofers in the past to fix slipped slates only to find they've used Gripfill or silicone, or even nailed through the slate above and put a blob of silicone over it (something called topping and tailing!!! I've tried using dedicated slate hooks, but they are rigid hard to use and have a fixed length and sometimes the battens aren't spaced correctly so don't work well - can be shortened, but not lengthened. I see lead bibs used all around my town centre, but just bent back over the bottom edge of the slate which doesn't look great and could bend back under snow pressure. The idea of popping a hole in the bottom to take a copper crampion is SO MUCH better. Your solution gives both weight bearing support AND anti wind lift support on the lower edge of the slate, looks better / invisible and requires less lead. Why don't all roofers know about this?!!! THANK YOU!!!
Howdy Deco Bliss! Great tip! Seems better than just bending that soft lead tickle up and over the lower edge of the slate - which will definitely flatten out with snow and ice movement over time. Nice work! New sub!
Christ it's infuriating reading some of these comments.
He is repairing a fibre-cement composite slate that requires a copper rivet to be fitted at the bottom of the slate to reduce curling in edges. There will be a big enough head lap on these slates so that it does not leak, rather than berate him actually find out what your on about first! The composite slates come with a manufactured hole approximately 25mm up from the bottom of the slate, anyone that doesn't know how this does. It have a right to comment
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing
very good technique i like it.
thankyou
Good job done
I do like this method, maybe use a less malleable non ferrous metal like alu or copper would make this even more stiffer. Good job.
very very good bro like it thanks
brilliant way to do it, and for those who know how slates lay, completely waterproof. Nice job, thanks. I now need a video about how to get up onto the roof :)...
Clever stuff
great job ;-)

They are tiles on that roof not slates.Tiles are man made and slates are a natural quarried product.
Why didn't you use a Hook? this looks like to much time, and where can you even buy lead anymore to use, it is a well known carcinogen.
I don't know about it being a carcinogen, but it can cause brain damage if accumulated in the body. You can definitely still by lead, no problems. As for hook, yes, it is MUCH preferred to the method shown here. The method shown here looks bad and is susceptible to being pulled down by snow/ice. Hooks and the nail/bib method are preferred.
that was the worst repair i have ever seen in my whole life...
Too much faffing about...
terrible repair, not only is there now a nail sticking out of roof the nail hole is right on the join of the slates below, this is a leak waiting to happen
It’s a copper disc/rivet that slides up between the two lower eternits( fibre cement slates ) which have holes at the bottom for the copper rivet to go through the hole then bend the rivet down.
There is no way that it will leak being done the way he has done it and the way he has done it is the right way.
Roof protects house interior from different climatic conditions, so roof should be maintained properly. Very well demonstrated video showing how to repair roof.
That is something I was always wondering how you do that. Nicely done
Thank you for sharing this great tip, it’s a perfect solution to a simple problem 👍🏻
It wouldn't leak, it is within the head-lap of the 2nd course below. Don't forget with a conventionally laid slate roof, a smaller portion of the slate is exposed compared to the part unseen. I'm working on a roof now where the exposure is 8.5-9 inches, but the whole slate is 20 inches long. That leaves a head-lap of 2-3 inches, which happens to be one of the most critical details in a slate roof.
