Title: Up on the roof Post by: ManuelsMum on January 16, 2012, 02:27:59 PM The recent massive storms managed to topple a tall metal 'chimney' on my slate roof :( I thought it would be easy to get up and fix it but the slates are slippy as hell, even when I let them dry. Is there an easier way of getting up there and moving around without falling off (like I nearly just did)?

Title: Re: Up on the roof Post by: ManuelsMum on January 16, 2012, 02:56:31 PM Looks good thanks, I have a double ladder, obv one bit has a couple of metal protrusions which act as a bracket for the other half, will that hold on the apex? I'm 16 stone and don't fancy what might happen if it dislodges.

It might well do, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

It might well do, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I'll give it a go thanks, is a pretty steep incline. Would prefer a hand but I'll have to go up on my own. If you don't hear from me in half an hour you know it's gone a bit awry lol Title: Re: Up on the roof Post by: david3103 on January 16, 2012, 03:28:48 PM I have a double ladder, obv one bit has a couple of metal protrusions which act as a bracket for the other half, will that hold on the apex?
